Awkward to hold… I prefer the gun format. Heating is good.

I’m a habitual runner and gym enthusiast, and I’ve owned several Therabody massage guns over the years to help relax or reactivate my muscles. You can find in their web the scientific explanation but from a user’s point of view, I haven’t found a better way to warm up before a weight session or to relax after a long run. I’m a firm believer in both the product and its positive effects on my body.
Over time, I’ve added new massage guns and attachments to my collection, keeping pace with Therabody’s product evolution. Most recently, I added the Theragun Mini Plus Portable Massage Gun to my lineup for three main reasons:
.- Portability: The unit is the perfect size for travel or to keep in a gym bag without adding noticeable weight. Its compact design also helps target hard-to-reach areas like the soles of the feet where larger guns can feel less precise. The ergonomic shape definitely improves control during massage.
.- Heat functionality: From experience, heat makes a significant difference, especially when working on smaller or more sensitive muscles. One of my older guns doesn’t include this feature, and I find myself using that one less and less.
.-Versatility: With three speed levels and three heat intensities, the Mini Plus covers all my needs and adapts easily to different recovery situations but also to the other family members, including kids, that could be aiming for something gentler.
A few additional notes:
.- The gun connects effortlessly to the Therabody app via Bluetooth. The app itself acts like a “massage coach,” guiding you through routines based on the muscle group you’re working on. Once you get used to this, it really enhances the experience.
.- My only real critique: products designed for regular use should come with more than a one-year warranty. That said, my oldest Therabody gun over five years old still works perfectly.
.- Quick recharging and long battery life make the device even more convenient.
Overall, I absolutely love and recommend this product and the Therabody brand.

Great Mini Recovery Device for Sore Muscles

The Therabody - Theragun Mini Plus is amazing with many attributes, including the following:
Pros
• The deep muscle relief is portable so you can use it on the go. It's compact size targets sore spots quickly without needing a partner.
• It's integrated heating feature soothes tight muscles, improves blood flow, and helps the percussive action feel deeper and more effective. Really feels good on sore muscles.
• Multiple speed/intensity settings let you fine-tune from gentle to intense depending on the muscle group and tolerance levels. If muscles are extremely sore, you can set it lower if needed.
• The interchangeable attachments include different heads for large muscle groups, joints, and trigger points increase versatility.
• It's handheld and portable which makes it lightweight and compact enough for gym bags, travel, or quick use at home.
• I love the cordless operation. The rechargeable battery removes cord clutter and allows full range of motion while using on various places on the body that are harder to reach.
• The percussion and heat combo can reduce soreness faster than massage or heat alone resulting in quicker recovery between sessions.
• It is easy to use with simple controls, often with LED indicators for speed and heat status.
There were only a couple negatives I could think of including:
Cons
• Can be noisy — many handheld percussion devices are louder than expected, which can be annoying in quiet spaces.
• Limited reach — smaller handheld size can make it hard to self-treat mid-back without awkward arm positions.
Overall, I really like the Theragun Mini Plus, especially the heat feature which feels great on sore or fatigued muscles. I would recommend it to anyone who is active or in sports that need recovery.

This little unit has a lot of functions and uses. I initially was going to go 4 stars, but used it again before writing this. My only drawback was the erg of it. I have one of the regular sized older model massage guns with a handle. This one having no handle holds different, but it is is a travel sized unit, so I realized I got what I asked for. It just takes getting used to holding it differently.
What I like about this unit:
Heated massage function. Didn't know it existed. Now I have the heat on anytime I use it.
Several levels of heat and several intensity modes let you dial in the level you need.
The app and programs seemed weird to me at first, but I dug in and tried them and realized just how useful the programs are in guiding you through movements, timing and intensity based on what your needs and body areas are. It is kind of like a coach guiding you through your rehab session versus just turning it on and moving it around your muscles.
Battery life so far is good. Size is good, though, as I said, the palm fit is a little different than the handle type. What would be great for this would be a clamp type wall mount so you can use it alone on body parts that are inaccessible by your own arms, such as mid or low back. Not sure if that exists on the market.
All in all good purchase. I recommend it. It definitely helps with the knots and soreness!

I want to start by saying that I suffer from chronic pain from a work related injury. I had a prior massager that was just worn out. So when I had the chance to receive this I jumped at it. And I must say I am well pleased that I did.
This Therabody Mini Plus massager comes in a well packaged box that includes the massager, the heated attachment, a USB-C charging cable (THANK YOU Therabody) and a travel pouch, which allows you to put everything in the pouch when you travel.
It comes w/ a charge, but I took the time to do a complete charge and while I waited I downloaded the Therabody App which is a MUST! Once I had it charged and had created my account I had the pleasure of using this for the first time, and I must say, it’s small, BUT it is powerful. The programs that are included w/ the App make this a game changer. I love how this is designed, in that while I use it I don’t get “hand fatigue” the shape of the Mini Plus allows you to grip it in so many ways. I love the heat, my older massager did not have that feature, and it really is noticeable heat. This Therabody Mini Plus has been a welcome addition to helping w/ my pain. I HIGHLY recommend this product

The heat is on!

This is my second Therabody product. I’ve had a Theragun Prime for the last year or so and man what a game changer it was. But it has a large footprint, and sometimes it is nice to have a smaller massager for those times when one is headed out of town or even needs to loosen up the tight muscles that occur at work while at work. Enter the Theragun Mini Plus, which is more portable but still has the same excellent massage capabilities. It loses the changeable heads that the Prime has, but adds heat adjustments which take it to an even higher level.
The Mini Plus also has smartphone capability via Therabody’s app, but to be honest, I don’t use it. The app will talk you through different massage areas and techniques, if that is something you are looking for.
In use, the Mini Plus is a gem. After a full charge, I used it for around an hour straight on medium massage with medium to high heat and had no issues with that charge getting things done. Battery life is another definite plus here. I have no complaints about the Theragun Mini Plus and highly recommend it. It may be considered a portable massager, but don’t let it’s smaller size fool you… This unit is very capable.

Great for relaxing sore muscles

After taking a long break from the gym, my first leg day left me limping everywhere. My quads, hamstrings, even calves were so sore I could barely walk down stairs. I was hopeful that the theragun mini might help me recover faster, and honestly, it exceeded my expectations.
Within a minute of turning it on, the heated attachment started to loosen up my muscles while the percussion worked deeper than I expected from such a compact device. The combination of heat and massage made a huge difference, it didn’t just mask the soreness, it actually helped my legs feel like they were releasing all that tightness built up from squats and lunges.
It’s super easy to hold and target different muscle groups, and the battery life easily lasts through several full-body sessions. I also love that it fits in my gym bag and doesn’t sound like a power tool when I use it while watching TV.
I found the included diagrams useful for targeting muscle groups, I assume that the company has put legit research into the patterns they recommend for recovery and I felt like they were effective. I wish they easily fit inside the travel case though, seems kinda silly that if left inside the little holder they arrive in, that it doesn’t neatly fit inside the travel case. A bit of an oversight, but you can cram them in there, just takes a bit more effort than it should.
I haven’t had to travel or fly yet, but I will make sure to toss it in my bag and give their travel recovery recommendations a try. It helps loosen up sore muscles so I’m pretty confident it will help loosen up cramps from sardine can sized airplanes.

Great alternative to larger more expensive models

An incredible alternative to the larger more expensive counterparts. Plenty of power, enough stall resistance, and the heat attachment is a game changer. I personally prefer the triangular shape of the full-sized theraguns, but at double the price and considerably heavier, this version is easier for travel use. Battery life could be longer when at full power and full heat (30-40 minutes) but reduce either or both for more time.
