Perfect for the price and size of it. Does as good as a job as the bigger version. A must for in-house or on the go use. My wife loves it too if you know what I mean ;) !

Portable, light, and right amount of massaging power.

Lots of people have used personal massagers, and they’ve been around for decades. They come in many shapes and sizes, and vibrate to ease tension and pain throughout your body. But for a while there’s been a newer class level of these called “percussion massagers” or percussion guns. These have been used by sports therapy clinics for some time and athletes, but consumer models are now in the market. Enter the Hyperice Hypervolt Go. These types of massagers take things a few notches up, and rather than vibrating, they “thump” (hard, really) kind of like a hand-held jack hammer. You hold the tip with any variety of tip heads on it against your body, and it’s like getting a rapid deep tissue massage of sorts. The Hyperice Go is handheld, smaller and lighter than commercial models. It’s rechargeable, and within a couple of hours, it will hold enough charge to use it up to 2 ½ hours (on low) or slightly less time as you go to medium or high settings. It comes with an A/C charger and power plug attachments to use in other country’s outlets as well if you travel. A colored ring along the bottom pulses as it’s charging and turns solid when it’s on. You press the power button in for a couple of seconds to turn it on, and then quick presses will cycle it from low, to medium, and high. Two tips come with it – a flat head to cover a larger area, and a bullet shaped tip to pinpoint a very specific area. It is important to note, you should talk to your doctor before using one of these to make sure they’re safe for you and any medical conditions you may have. Once turning it on, always start on low, and target an area you may feel is tight, or in need of deep massage. This is again, NOT a regular massager. It’s strong. Even the low setting “thumps” you rapidly, and hard, in my opinion. Low was sufficient for anything I needed. Medium pushed limits and high was borderline painful to me in many areas, plus on high, the hand grip vibrates pretty strongly and becomes uncomfortable to hold after a few minutes if left at that setting. I have issues with my upper legs and hips and a few minutes using this properly did help ease the tension and pain. A friend used it in an area of his upper back where he has constant tension issues (also on low) and said it helped a good bit. Neither of us found the bullet shaped attachment comfortable and used the flat-head attachment more comfortably. Prolonged use did create a tingling sensation in the hands due to the heavy vibes – perhaps a bit more insulation in the handle would help this? The battery lasts as advertised if again, you keep it on low. This type of device is not for everyone, and while it’s more specifically aimed at athletic types, it could help others too. But once again, this is not a regular massager, and repeating, you should discuss what this is and exactly how you’d like to use it with your doctor before use, as improper use of this could do more harm than good. I give it 4 stars because it looks good, handles well, and does what it’s supposed to do. Since it’s a consumer model, I would have liked to have seem them put a low setting on it that’s even less strong than the low is on it now, though, and would have liked to have seen a couple more different types of attachments as seen in other models too, as it doesn’t come with a ball-shaped tip (as seen in most other models) which is also good for larger areas. For $199 (average) it’s for those who need it. You’ll know if you’re one of those people. Recommended.

This was a great investment. I’ve been using this product every day since early June on my lower back and on my right hip side. It has helped me a lot and better than having to take pills to kill the pain. This is a very powerful unit so I’m careful in using it. I give this product five stars, no regret

It does what it states. It’s helped relieve pain. It isn’t a cure of course but it does help.
