Therabody Theragun PRO Plus - 6-in-1 Deep Tissue Percussion Massage Gun, Handheld Personal Massager for Full Body Pain Relief & Muscle Tension with Biometric Breathwork, Vibration & Heated Attachments

Bought the Gen4 TheraGun Pro on the Amazon 2022 pre-Black Friday sale.I've had a generic ~$90 percussive massager for 2-3 years and decided to get the 4x more expensive Theragun Pro when it went on sale. The 3 things that drew me to it were:1) the 60lb stall force vs the 30lb stall of my generic unit (the 16mm vs 10mm massage depth was also a consideration)2) the Theragun's proprietary triangular shaped handle3) the 2 swappable batteries, that allowed for longer sessions (and allow for charging one battery, while the other is in use)After using this 4th Gen Theragun Pro several times already, here are my key points:- that triangular shaped handle (and the ability to change the angle of the arm) are THE biggest improvements, to me, ESPECIALLY for using the unit on myself.The triangular grip, and the adjustable angle of the 'arm', make it much easier to find a comfortable, secure grip to use this on myself (especially on my shoulders and back, but even on my arms, thighs, pecs, calf muscles etc.), compared to the 'T' shape of my generic unit (and every other unit on the market).- the 60lb stall force (and 16mm depth vs 10mm) allows me to get an even deeper massage, especially on my back. I use it while sitting in a chair/recliner and lean back into it, so the (padded) back of the recliner allows me to brace the unit to push harder and apply more pressure (and as expected, the generic unit with its 30lbs of force will stall out, where this Pro unit with its 60lbs of force keeps going).- ***IMPORTANT NOTE TO FOLKS WONDERING***The 4th Gen TheraGun Pro that I purchased on Amazon during the sale that began the week before Black Friday 2022, did indeed ship with 2x 4th Gen marked batteries. I'll update when I've had the chance to actually time how long each battery lasts on a full charge, but unlike some reviews/comments, mine didn't come with 3rd Gen batteries, and thus far, one battery has lasted over 45 minutes of use, and the battery indicator is still at about 2/3rds.- the Bluetooth connectability and app that can be downloaded are interesting, and allow you to load 2 more settings on the unit (as it ships, the 4th Gen units have 4 available modes, but only 2 are pre-loaded/pre-programmed; a constant speed mode (that can manually be adjusted faster or slower), and a varying speed mode (that slowly varies back and forth from the slowest to fastest speed).You need to download the app to load/program the other 2 available mode settings, otherwise, selecting those does nothing (the modes show up on the display as 'T', 'I', 'II', and 'III'. Modes 'II' and 'III' aren't pre-programmed).Interesting to play with the app, and the various modes/sessions on the app not only have countdown timers for each bodypart/muscle group, but the app even shows you where to apply the Theragun, and gives you a recommended range of how much force/pressure to apply (and the unit itself has a sensor that indicates how hard you're pressing/how much force you're applying). Interesting and it may be of value to some.- some folks complain that the unit is loud. It's not a consideration to me. My primary concern is how well a massager works as a massager. As far as how loud, I can still have a conversation while using the massager, without having to yell, or constantly say, "WHAT?!! I didn't catch that". I wouldn't use it next to someone who's asleep, but having used various massagers over the decades, I don't really find this one exceptionally loud. There may be units that are quieter than this one, but as mentioned my priority for a massager, is how well it works as a massager.Is this 4th Gen Theragun Pro worth 3x to 4x the cost of cheaper options? That's going to be an individual choice. For me, the triangular handle and adjustable 'arm' angle allowing me to find a secure, comfortable grip to effectively use it on myself, coupled with the higher stall force alone, make it worth it. YMMV.

This brand is 100% GREATNESS!!!!! The ONLY other brand that I tried a long time ago that still beats the rest for me is the BgHolisticSolutions brand:)

First and foremost, is it worth the money? The answer is subjective. But I have to say YES!! I have a less expensive massage gun and I will tell you this model is more percussive and goes deeper than the less expensive model. Coupled with the tri-handle, which really works well to position the gun where needed and the connected app which guides you through different routines, really makes this a worthwhile purchase. I've read other reviews that complained about poor battery life. I have not experienced that. Battery performance has been adequate. If you have the aches and pains, I highly recommend this product!

The media could not be loaded. I bought this over a year ago after a massage therapist used a similar massage gun to help release tight muscles. I had high hopes that this would be a useful tool to use at home and indeed it was for about 10-12 times. I would only use the device about once a month and unfortunately, the last time I went to use it, I discovered that the button that controls the arm pivot was broken and it is now permanently locked in to the storage position, which is great for storing it, but not so great for actually using it. It is now very awkward to hold to effectively use it on the muscle groups that need massage. After contacting customer support about this problem, I learned that the warranty for defective parts is only valid for one year. So I am out of luck and out of pocket hundreds of dollars. If I had known ahead of time that this “medical” device would only work for 10-12 uses, I would have spent my money on more professional massages instead of this poorly constructed device. Internet research led me to multiple threads on this specific issue which is a common problem. The device was only used as intended and had never fallen or been dropped. The buttons are just cheap and faulty and once they break the device is pretty much useless. Don’t be fooled by the fact that it is HSA/FSA eligible. That doesn’t mean it is worth spending your tax free money on. Spend it on actual massages instead.

That works great! I highly recommend for those who is a regular gym person.
