Hyperice - Hypervolt Vibration Massage Device - Cordless - Silver/Black

The Hyperice Hypervolt is a cordless vibration massage device, used in Vibration Therapy. If you've ever visited a Physical Therapist, you've probably seen the Hypervolt or Theragun. It works like a mini jack-hammer to help loosen tight muscles and reduce soreness from training sessions. The Hypervolt is cordless, compact and portable. When you first turn it on, what jumps out is the lack of noise. If you have been around other devices such as the Theragun, which is very NOISY this is like night and day. One feature I really like is that it has 4 LED lights that indicate the amount of charge in the battery, which is rated for about 3 hours of continuous use on a full charge. The Hypervolt also has 3 different speed settings, allowing you to adjust the intensity of the massage. It's also light, so you can use it with 1 hand, but has enough mass that you don't feel like you have to push into it to penetrate down to the muscle. So does it work? In a word, yes. Ironically, I broke my hip in a mtb accident almost 2 months ago, and for the first time in my life I just started Physical Therapy. My Physical Therapist uses the Hyperice on during our sessions. He also has the Theragun but prefers the Hyperice as he can converse with his patients while using it! But it's not just my saying I feel good after using it. There are also studies which show the many benefits of Vibration Therapy. In a study called “To Compare the Effect of Vibration Therapy and Massage in Prevention of Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS)” the result was that muscle soreness was reported to be significantly less for the experimental (vibration and massage) group as compared to the control group at 24, 48, and 72 hours of post-exercise. According to an article on Healthline, “When the vibrations are transmitted to your body, they cause your muscles to contract and relax. Certain types of vibrations may also cause your body to produce more osteoblasts. These are cells that produce bone.” Benefits of vibration therapy include an increase in bone density, reduced back pain, improved blood circulation, increase in muscle mass, and more. Even if you're not an elite athlete, if any of those benefits sound good to you, then I recommend that you check out the Hypervice Hypervolt.

I work out frequently at my home gym, and I also do a lot of yard work almost every day. My muscles are usually tight and sore despite properly stretching before and after each work. When I saw the Hyperice Hypervolt Vibration massager, I was excited to try it out to help alleviate my sore muscles. My friend who frequently visits a chiropractor informed me that they use a similar device for her visits. After a week of using it, I was not disappointed. The Hypervolt is very easy to setup and use. I attached the rechargeable battery to the unit, which came fully charged. Choose the appropriate head and put it on the massager. Note that while pushing the head inside the device, make sure to turn it 1/4 of the way to insert it all the way inside. To change heads, simple pull and turn 1/4 of the way the attached head and insert another head. The only head that does not require turning while pushing is the fork. It includes four different attachment/tips, and each is designed to massage the muscles differently. The flat head attachment is my favorite, and I use it on my denser muscles like the quad and pecks. The softest accessory is the ball head. The bullet head is suitable for any tissue because of it used for trigger points or target a specific area. The fork head attachment is like having two bullet heads side by side, and it is also good for any muscle. The more you use the messaging device, the more you will know your body, and you will figure out what is most effective, what speed and which head to use for each muscle. The control button adjusts the intensity of the message into three variable speed levels. The first level is not highly aggressive, which is good for beginners, smaller muscles or upper body muscles. For the denser muscles like the legs or calf, the second level is more appropriate. The third level is more aggressive which is good for the more bigger muscles (glutes, hips, quads) or to do the most massaging. For the first timers, I recommend beginners to start at the lowest speed level and don't apply a lot of pressure. After you get used to the massager, start adding more pressure and going at a higher as needed, without overdoing it. This massager feels like a premium device, and it is powerful enough without generating a lot of noise. Fully charged, the battery lasts a long time. The carton box is sturdy, and it has a magnetized lid that easily opens and closes. The device will outlive box, and I recommend the manufacturer that future products to include a carry-on case or bag. Overall, I am highly satisfied with the Hypervolt, and I use it often You will glad to have one of this after a long work day or after an intense workout.

The chiropractor I worked for owned one, once I left I knew I needed one for myself. Its worth every penny! Its the perfect remedy after a long day at work and savior for those awful knots. I use it on myself after the gym to soothe sore muscles but also enjoy a massage from my husband. Its a pretty sturdy piece of equipment, it looks and feel powerful and meant to last. A bit heavy, my 7 year old sister couldnt hold it properly while giving me a massage. It does require some muscle to hold and maneuver it for a proper massage with 1 hand. I love all the different attachments, they all have their use, e.g. some give a more dull massage while "the bullet" attachment will get down to deep tissue. Battery is long lasting, I havent had the need to charge often. 100% recommend!

So this might seem like overkill or a novelty. Well it is for sure. In I good way. I myself work out 4-5 days week in and week out. I also work light labor for a few hours a day 5 days a week. And I am always sore(mild). I also usually have tight knots throughout my body. Due to the heavy physical activity done daily. And this hypervolt massager works wonders. It’s light weight. But looks cool and high end. I can operate it with one hand. I’m no professional but I know the basics. I target the spots I can reach myself. And ask my wife to get the hard to reach spots. This product works amazingly. You feel looser and more relaxed after just a few minutes. There are 3 levels. I use level 2. That’s a perfect speed for me. Battery life last several hours. You also get several attachments. They are a ball shaped, a bullet shaped and some 2 prong looking one that I’m not sure if I will use. I’m satisfied with it. Works perfectly for my needs. We can all use a personal massager. Good luck!

For nearly 20 years, I have suffered from severe leg pain due to an old injury. I tend to survive through it with the help of medication and pressure massages. I’m always on the lookout for personal devices that might be able to help me manage my pain without having to use medication. I have one such device that is a wearable item, but I can’t wear it 24/7. So, I typically have to supplement with massages — either from professional masseuses or from family members. Personal massage devices like shiatsu massagers just don’t do enough for me so when I heard about the Hypervolt Vibration Massage Device, I was thrilled beyond belief because I felt as though having a device like that at home would save me time and money going to masseuses. The Hypervolt massager is rechargeable and has a long run-time (approximately 2 hours total). Most of the time, I was running it in 5-minute increments, but there were a few times that I had longer massage sessions. The massager comes with multiple attachments. I tested them all out and found that they had very different uses. The fork tool seemed to work best on my leg and back, but it caused too much of a ‘tickle’ effect when used on my foot. The round ball was the best all-around attachment and could be used anywhere effectively. The bullet was perfect for targeting problem areas and was great for ‘hot spots’. This was particularly effective for me on my leg where I have the most issues. The flat head attachment was also great on my back and foot. I had some wonderful success with the Hypervolt. It relieved my pain — even when it was at its peak and I honestly don’t know how I’ve lived this long without it. It’s the perfect addition to my home pain management system. It is expensive, but when you consider that an hour-long massage typically costs between $50-60, the Hypervolt pays for itself in a very short period of time. I can use the Hypervolt on myself if no one else is around, or have someone help me with it. My family members that help me with it - particularly on my back where I can’t reach - say that it’s much easier than doing the massaging with their hands. While the Hypervolt is an investment, it’s a wise investment because of the benefits of it.

I have constant back ache and this is honestly life-changing you just have to feel it for yourself actually worth the price. It’s a hefty price but much less then all the massage places I have went throughout the year

I’ve been using my new Hypervolt for a while now and I have mixed emotions about it. For one, I feel like this is made more for athletes and therapists than the average Joe. It is like a two and a half pound jackhammer that even on the lowest setting is very powerful. This is not a massager for someone that just wants a little destressing. For someone that is on the frail side I think it’s too powerful. Two elderly people that I tried this on both said it was too rough for them. This is more for someone that has done a workout and has specific sore muscle spots. The pounding is painful in those spots but the vibration leaves a numbing sensation in the area which provides temporary relief. The medical benefits are more anecdotal than hard science, so take them with a grain of salt. It is a bit awkward to try on your own back. While it can be done, it isn’t an easy process so I would recommend getting someone else to use it on your back. It’s pretty easy to use on your own legs though. Bottom line: if you’re an athlete with frequent sore muscles, give this a try as it may help with recovery. If you’re a massage therapist, this may be a good tool in your arsenal. If you’re looking for a massager to help relax away the stresses of the day, this isn’t the product for you. I would recommend this to a friend that is an athlete, but no one else.

It recharges quickly, it seems to last a long time between charges. It has safety features to try and keep you from overdoing the pulsing, thumping, vibration massage. I have used it on different muscles and seems to reduce pain from my back issues. It also helps in recovery of muscles after exercise. It has three speeds. You control the depth and strength by also the amount of pressure you push down on your muscles. I also purchased the carrying case. I would make the case a must have because it organizes everything, stores everything and make sit easy to transport.
