Therabody Theragun PRO Plus
10/11/2023
A 46-year old runner training for his fastest half-marathon race. A 21-year old college student with a fused and herniated disc causing daily pain. A 45-year old working mom with a genetic disposition for varicose veins. What all three have in common is a love for the relief provided by the Therabody massage products.
We’ve been a family of the Therabody massage experience for a couple of years now starting first with the Theragun Elite then adding a Theragun Prime. Throughout the day our house is filled with the the sound of the gentle vibrations these devices provide. My wife loves the Elite so much that it’s written into our wedding vows that I’ll use it on her daily. If that’s not enough of a product endorsement for why you need to buy one of these things let’s talk about what else has improved with the latest Pro Plus.
The triangle design is now smaller in diameter leading to a fatter shape that manages to feel more comfortable to hold then previous iterations. Or as my wife likes to point out, now I can use it on her longer than before without feeling fatigue. A switch to USB-C for device charging means one less cable to find when it needs a charge. Hooray!
The LCD display screen is easier to read even when the device is at it’s highest massage speed making it quick and simple to toggle LED light therapy and increase the heat with the heat attachment.
By far the best new improvement is how the attachments connect. Previously it was a ball-lock mechanism that requires forcefully pulling the attachment off. I don’t like to admit how many times my elbow has hit nearby walls, arm rests, or headboards as a result. The new design is a insert/twist-to-lock with clearly marked arrows that allow for proper alignment. THANK YOU Therabody!
Speaking of attachments, what Therabody refers to as “therapies,” there are several new additions to the standard lineup which produce some juicy results. The heat attachment has become the new favorite for every session with the wife. I’m loving the new vibration attachment for ankle work after runs and we’re finding the micro-point is helpful around the knees and toes. Even more helpful is that the carrying case now has a graphic and a description of each therapy so you never have to guess what each one is for.
The carrying case has also undergone some major redesign allowing for proper storage of the therapies on one side and the body on the other which is a huge improvement over the previous cases.
The addition of a biometric sensor allows for on-device heart rate readings and we tried a couple of them, but we already wear Apple Watches so we aren’t finding much value in this functionality.
Another change is that in previous iterations of the mobile app, choosing a routine presented a 2D rendering of the body part that was supposed to be massaged with arrows guiding you through the intended routine. It was clear what you were supposed to be doing. These have been replaced with videos of humans using the device on themselves. For the ones we’ve tried Therabody’s decision to keep the mens shirts on while they use it on their back make them a bit more confusing though indirectly showcasing how to properly hold the device while using it on yourself is helpful. Video playback on my iPhone 14 Pro Max was jerky at times but we’ve found that seeing the video once is usually enough that we don’t really need to refer back to it. It would be nice to see some kind of toggle switch to enable or disable the videos.
If you find yourself in need of a massage therapy this device is a must have.

Best Theragun to date!

Out of the box the overall presentation is nice. The soft side case has two sides. (top and bottom compartments)
On the top, each attachment is separated with a description on the top flap. The bottom of the case holds the Theragun Pro Plus. I do wish the case was hard sided instead of soft for more protection.
Each attachment is well built and now twists on/off the Theragun instead of plug and pull. It is easier and quicker to change heads. However all the old attachments are no longer compatible due to this change. So I can't use the soft foam or duo adapter from my pervious model on this new PRO Plus.
The new attachments such as vibration works well and does what it suppose to. It vibrates without the percussion and used for more sensitive areas where your bones are. The heated attachment is great and heats up fast and the best this is you don't have to charge it separately and the function is integrated with the Theragun. I have the cold attachment on order and I'm sure it's great too.
Hear rate monitor- Easy to use by putting your finger on it and the Theragun provides haptic feedback on when to inhale and exhale. Great function but I could have been ok without it by lowering the price of the unit or include the cold attachment.
LED Light- At first I thought it would be ineffective but you do being to feel the infared heat when used in the same area for a longer period of time. Depending on how you hold the Theragun, at times you could block the light with your hands/fingers.
Massage- Same feel with the 16mm Amplitude. I do feel that it is slightly quieter than the pervious pro model. However the stall force is a bit weaker. Shouldn't be a problem unless you are pressing hard against the part you are massaging. Battery life is on par with pervious model but it does drain faster if you have the heat,light and massage on all at the same time.
$600 is alot to spend on a massage gun but I do feel its worth it. If this is your first Theragun and want all the bells and whistle, then this is the one to purchase. If you have the pervious gen Pro or elite then spending another $600 to update is hard to swallow. If you think the heat/cold, heart rate, Led light and vibration is useful, then go for it. As of right now this is the king of massage guns.

I owned the original Theragun for a number of years, and being an athlete I've dependent on it often to aid in warm-up and recovery. I thought about upgrading many times, but most of the past upgrades from the original Theragun have been well-done but minimal--quieter, smaller, etc. The Pro Plus is the first upgrade, at least that I know of, that offers features that go well beyond percussion.
Theraguns have always been really good at their base functionality... soothing sore tired muscles, getting muscles warmed up for activity, relieving joint pain. But the new Pro Plus takes things much further. Besides the typical attachments like the wedge and the standard ball, it also comes with a dampener for sensitive areas, a micro point attachment for increasing stimulation and circulation, and a thumb attachment for trigger points and knots. But for me, the most exciting new attachments are the vibration attachment and the heat attachment. A cold attachment is also available for purchase, but it's not included, so I haven't had a chance to try it yet. These new attachments make the Theragun very complete. The vibration attachment helps to increase blood flow, and the heat attachment, though I'm sure it has its own benefits, just feels amazing!
The Therabody app is amazing! There are pre-made programs you can select that will cause the Theragun to activate and then detailed instructions with videos in the app to guide you. There are also breathing exercises to help you sleep, to help you reduce your heart rate, and to relieve stress.
I don't have room to tell you about all the features the Pro Plus has, but I'll say this; if you're a human being, much less an athlete, the Pro Plus will definitely increase the quality of your life. And if you've previously owned a Theragun, this is definitely a worthy upgrade.

I have used cheaper massager before getting this and this massage is very well made. Made of TPU and plastic and does well very well made. The handle is good and easy to hold to. The massager has different attachments. The attachments are now actually screwed in which is more secure.
Standard Ball - This is for overall body.
Dampner - I use this for thighs, to reduce pain
Thumb - This is my go to attachment for my lower back!
Wedge - Best for shoulder blade.
Micro-point - This is for increasing circulation but i dont use it
It has an LED light therapy not sure how effective it is.
The heat therapy does work very well on the lower back.
Love the USB C charging and i dont have to keep taking a proprietary charging cable everywhere. The Battery life is rated at 150 mins. i think i was about to get about 120-140 minutes out of it.
Basically worth it.

Amazing Prep/Recovery tool for Active Gym Members

I am a self proclaimed gym rat as of the last few years and I am always struggling with proper recovery. Enter this Theragun Pro Plus. Wow. The app has so many options to fit what I have worked or plan to work that day and guides you through proper usage including which head to use, how to reach the area, and a neat timer to remind you when to switch muscle groups or areas. Never should you fear leg day in the gym again! I am a 6 day per week gym visitor and this has drastically improved the effectiveness of my workouts and recovery. I very much enjoy the sleep program as well to help me relax and get the most out of my sleep time as well. According to my sleep tracking smartwatch, my quality of sleep has improved since running that program every night. Soreness from long runs and heavy lifts has decreased in intensity and time despite that I still push the limits of what I can lift and how fast I can run. Combining the vibration and the heat together with the LED light therapy is just so effective for a quick recovery to get to your next workout. The set comes with multiple different massagers for a variety of situations and uses as well as a carrying case and charging cord. Definitely, highly recommend for anyone who considers themself an athlete and needs some help recovering and getting the most out of your workout.

BYO (high wattage) charging brick

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I used my old theragun so much, I completely wore out one of the attachments. This new one is a step up in several ways, some of them useless. One thing that I really, really like is the heated tip. It doesn't put out a ton of heat, and you need to move it around more slowly to feel the heat, and it needs to be on bare skin to feel the heat, but it does add a lot to the percussive massage. There is also a cold tip available, but you have to buy that separately, so I haven't tried it. I think I would get more out of the heat than the cold anyway. This new model also does away with the swappable rechargeable battery. It's not that big of a deal to just plug in the gun rather than the battery charger, so I don't think you're losing much that way. In a typical session, which I'm estimating at around ten minutes or so, with the heat going (but not the -IMO useless- LED lights), I'm only using 30-35% of the charge. The display helpfully shows you the battery level while charging, but not while using. You also can no longer change the angle of the gun, but I honestly never did that with the old one. The new model has more fine tuning of the speed, and you can also adjust the level of heat, but unless the heat is on high, I really can't feel it that much. The display can also show you how hard you're applying pressure. When used in combination with the app, it will tell you whether you're pressing too hard, too little, or "optimal." The controls on the gun are sufficiently intuitive, though it took me a few minutes of fooling around with it until I got it down. The app is much less useful to me. I have a routine that I like to use, and unless I try to build that routine in the app, it's not going to follow what I want to do. Maybe if you've never used a massage gun and need to be shown the proper technique, it could be useful. It is easier to directly modify the speed, heat, and light in the app, but it's not worth carrying my phone into the gym room for that slightly improved functionality. One last thing about charging: you need your own high wattage charging brick. The cable it comes with has an adapter to use either USB A or C as an input, but when I plugged it into a low wattage USB A port, it not only did not charge (though the status showed as charging), it actually *lost* battery level. When I plugged into a higher wattage USB C brick, it charged fine, though. Honestly, I would recommend upgrading to this model just for the heated tip, but there are a lot of other bells and whistles that are essentially useless for my purposes.

A Plus to Recovery

Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
The Theragun PRO Plus is the next generation of Theragun – a spectacular post work-out recovery tool. Using the PRO Plus has become part of my cool-down post recovery routine and is a splendid addition to off day activities. The Theragun engages not only soft tissue but muscles depending on treatment head and setting, a beautiful self-administered therapy. I am trained in osteopathic manipulation and it has always been a bummer to not be able to treat oneself, but now I feel empowered with this therapy tool. The head is fixed, but handle is all around to allow for a comfortable hold on the Theragun while reaching whatever desired treatment area. The Theragun PRO Plus has vibration therapy to target joints and sensitive areas. I have been applying this to my left knee post activity, with a noticeable reduction in post-activity pain/discomfort. There is a heat therapy head for muscle tension/soreness. I have been able to use this on my lumbar area with marked relaxation of muscles both after exercise and a long work-day sitting. There are 5 other tools included, which out of them all I have used the Wedge tool the most. Designed for shoulder blades and IT band specifically (but available for use wherever) I have utilized my wife to apply therapy most evenings to my shoulder blades. The wedge is able to adapt to treating the rhomboids well, “wedging” between blade and spine. I am thrilled to have the multiple treatment heads depending on goal, along with adjustable frequencies for treatment.
There is a build-in infrared LED light to provide infrared light therapy. Light therapy is a technique that is not often utilized and by allowing for application of light therapy in conjunction with mechanical therapy one reaps added benefit. The light therapy may be toggled off easily if needed.
Therabody has available an application that may be connected via Bluetooth to the Theragun PRO Plus to enhance treatment experience. One may choose a pre-designed setting/routine and treatment through the app, adding a more robust treatment – but the app is not required and treatments may be administered through adjustments with the interface on the Theragun. Allowing for treatment on the go.
Of note, there is an attachment that is not included with the PRO Plus but may be purchased separately at this time. This is the Cold attachment to help with reduction of pain, inflammation and swelling. Given my satisfaction with the base attachments, I do plan to invest in this additional add-on; not a necessity but I love cold therapy.
All in all, Therabody does it again with the Theragun. This is not my first product from Therabody and will not be the last. Cutting edge technology for quicker recovery. I absolutely notice a difference both immediately and days after using the Theragun

Absolutely Fantastic Professional Product

Bought this at my favorite Best Buy Store in Florence, KY. Best knowledgable staff and positive atmosphere. Thank you. I was thinking about how much I was going to spend. 200,, 300, 400 or 600. After watching hours of videos, and talking to physical therapists and a doctor. Therabody and this unit works absolutely amazing. I have had it for only 2 days. And I am already like wow. I have had professional massages in the past, used to cycle a ton in the past. But having to get back into it and being 53 I can't believe how well built and how it feels. A lot of tips, the heat is awesome. But the app is the absolute key to see what to use, how long, the app reads out how hard the pressure is you are pressing and when to change. Has all parts of the body listed and what to use and for how long. Absolutely a very professional great working product. I am a total tech member and got this one know I have the option to return and get the less expensive one if not happy. But I made the correct choice. Yeah it is 599 that's a lot, but you have to feel good and take care of your body. This is a lifetime investment.
The half an hour there, I even educated the product to another customer and they purchased it. Thank you Florence, KY Best Buy.... You guys are the Best Best Buy!!!!

Review for
Theragun PRO PLUS
I was excited to try this new version of the Theragun when I learned it came with app support for specific sports and activities.
I lead a very athletic lifestyle, enjoying hiking, biking, swimming, weightlifting, rowing, and biking. But I have to admit, as I get older, pains come easier and recovery can be slower.
Enter the Theragun PRO PLUS! With tools designed for muscles and joints, it can add heat (included) and even cold (purchased separately). The device itself is well-made and feels solid in your hands. Its triangle design facilitates easy holding at various angles for reaching and massaging any muscle group.
I gave it a good test run (no pun intended) before a 15 mile hike recently. Using the app before I left, I was able to do a warmup for my legs. Upon my return, I used the recovery session for my legs, but also for my feet and lower back. The hike was great, but the recovery workout made me feel rejuvenated almost as if I *hadn’t* just hiked 15 miles!
On a less active day, I tried out some of the breath work activities in the app. It was wonderfully relaxing. I also found the new sleep breathing activity using the 4-7-8 technique that I knew about but had never tried. Also a keeper for those restless nights!
My wife, who suffers from asthma, often gets tight muscles in her upper back. The wedge tool and the vibration tool made quick work of her tightness is those areas. She had high praise for the results!

I had the original Theragun and have loved it. It's been extremally beneficial for me and my family and over the years we've even used it with our kids as they've been getting more into competitive sports, exercising, lifting, etc. Well that old unit has seen better days and was starting to break down, and the original unit is pretty heavy and awkward to hold. Time to upgrade! I figured if I was going to upgrade I may as well get the top of the line unit... and this definitely is the best of the best! On the old unit, it could be hard to add/remove the attachments because you had to push/pull them on and off. Sometimes they'd get stuck on there and be hard to remove. I like the new twist on/off feature for attachments on this model. Much easer for me or my wife to use. There are sooo many features on this model compared to my old one! My old one just had the percussion massage feature, this model has that of course, but also heat therapy, infrared therapy, vibration therapy, and I can even add on cold therapy.... wow! It also provides personalized feedback that displays your heart rate... That's awesome! My favorite features so far have ben the vibration and heat.... GAME CHANGER! That's something I wished for on the old unit because sometimes you need vibration instead of percussion. Highly recommend this unit!

5th Gen < Pro Plus = Major Upgrades Same Price! $$

Whether it be after a long workout, a run, or even a hard days work, this gun has you covered whether you want a light massage or deep tissue to really workout any tension or cramps. Having the previous 5th generation model and now this newer Plus model at the same price point, you really get a lot more bang for your buck. Theragun really “brings the heat” now with their new heated attachment. They also added led light therapy and also a biometric sensor now which tells you your heart rate. One thing I liked that they added was the charging cord can be usb type C to usb type C or on one end you have a normal usb plug that conceals the type C end for normal usb usage. I tend to carry a portable battery pack so I found this very helpful because it was a fast charging pack with only a usb type C port. Another physical change I noticed is the device itself is more girthy. I myself have large hands so this was a big plus for me as far as handling.
One thing that I wouldn’t say is a negative but is lost in this new Plus version is the adjustability in the head to different positions. This new Plus version is not adjustable. So where as you could straighten it outward previously you can no longer do that. So trying to get some areas might be a little awkward. Also I want to note the way the heads now attach has also changed where as they use to pop on and off, now they twist in and lock. Unfortunately making you unable to use other heads you may or may not have from prior models with this new model. They would be wise to come up with some type of attachment to adapt and allow you to use the older heads with this newer model. Battery life is still excellent but its now permanently internal and not removable to charge externally and cannot have multiple batteries unfortunately.
In the box it comes with a really nice padded carrying case that fits and protects everything included. And believe me for the price of this you want to keep it protected! It has a outline info on the flap of the bag over each compartment for each of the included attachment heads. One of my favorite features is the LED screen (right on the handle) with guided workouts that give you a visual display of what part of the body you're working on and where exactly to place the tip to get the best outcome. You can do even more by conveniently using the app and choosing what routines suit you best connecting by Bluetooth, no wires necessary! It's definitely on the higher price point for massage guns that I've seen, but in my opinion, they couldn't have done a better job or put anymore into this to make it better. I'd definitely recommend it to others

Theragun Pro Plus - Heath Tool

Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
As someone who actively spends weekends running and doing light weight training, the need for an efficient recovery tool is vital. The Theragun Pro Plus has proven to be an invaluable addition to my fitness regimen.
Starting with the 5 massage attachments – the variety ensures I have the perfect tool for every ache and pain.
The Standard Ball is my go-to for general muscle soreness, while the Thumb and Micro-point are exceptional for deep tissue precision.
The Wedge has been perfect for scraping and flushing out lactic acid after those intense training sessions.
One of the standout features for me is the Heat Therapy Attachment, Post-run, it's a godsend. Applying heat while massaging has taken my recovery to the next level, making my muscles feel more relaxed and ready for the next session.
The Vibration Therapy Attachment also provides a unique sensation that seems to awaken and invigorate my muscles.
Being able to edit different routines in the app for the device has been incredibly useful.
The Sleep Prep routine is a favorite of mine, helping me get a good night's rest, ensuring I'm fresh for my next workout.
And after those occasional over-enthusiastic weight sessions, the Back Pain and Lower Body Recovery routines have been lifesavers.
The LCD screen with visually guided routines is user-friendly, making it easy even for someone who might not be too tech-savvy. Plus, the guided breathwork with haptic feedback genuinely helps in calming the body and mind post-workout. It’s like having a personal meditation guru at your fingertips.
The built-in biometric sensor gives personalized insights which, for someone like me who loves data, is a huge bonus. It makes the recovery process feel tailored to my body's specific needs.
Ergonomically, it's a dream. The ergonomic grip ensures that I can reach those tricky spots without straining my hand or wrist.
And the combination of LED light therapy while massaging? Genius. I've genuinely noticed a boost in my healing process since I started using this feature.
But what truly stands out is the sheer power of the device. The claim of it being their "strongest, deepest percussive massage therapy at 16mm" isn't just a marketing line. The depth of the massage ensures that even the deepest aches are addressed.
Finally, as a weekend warrior, knowing that this device is US FDA Registered and has scientifically proven benefits makes me confident in its safety and effectiveness.
In summary, the Theragun Pro Plus isn't just a recovery tool; it's an investment in my health and fitness journey. It's helped me relieve pain, recover faster, treat my joints, improve my mobility, and overall enhance my performance. For any fitness enthusiast, I'd wholeheartedly recommend it.

Fantastic Massage Gun

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
The Theragun Pro Plus is an absolutely fantastic massage gun. This is my first Theragun product, and I am absolutely blown away. I have never used a percussive massager before, and I don't know how I have lived without it. This thing is feature packed. It includes 7 different massage tips, charging cable, carrying case, and of course, the massager itself. It also features led lights for light therapy, bluetooth for connecting to the smartphone app, a biometric sensor for guided breathing therapy, and a color screen to guide you step by step through routines. There is so much that this massager can seem a bit intimidating at first. The different tips included are the standard ball, heat attachment, vibration attachment, micro point, thumb, wedge, and dampener. Again, it was a bit intimidating at first all of the different attachments, but they include documentation to help, and also the device itself can guide you, as well as the smartphone app, which goes into even more detail with each of the routines. The more I have used it, the less intimidating it becomes. and the more I really appreciate all the different options provided. Actual performance of this massage gun is where it really shines. I am an avid cyclist, so that was my main test. I usually so some stretches before a ride, and then either stretches, a massage gun (cheap, not theragun), or a foam roller afterward. To test the theragun, I decided to use the guided warm-ups instead of my usual routines, and guided recovery routines afterward. I was blown away with first of all, how easy it was, and second, how effective they were. The warm-ups really get the blood flowing and the muscles ready for your workout. I could definitely tell the difference. And the recovery was fantastic. It was much easier than foam rolling, and way more effective than my usual static stretches, or my cheap massager. I felt like this really gave me a good effective massage that aided in my recovery. I am very happy with this massager, and the more I use it, the more I realize how versatile it actually is. Anyone who is even remotely interested in this should absolutely get it. Even the features I thought were overkill are very useful. I found myself using the guided breathing more than I would've expected. And the smart phone integration is fantastic, allowing you to try so many guided routines that I never would've known about, and also cutting down on the intimidation factor of all the different tips provided. I can't recommend enough.

I have used several massage guns over the years, my last one just died so it was a good time to upgrade.
My first impression was that this might be too big, and I wasn't sure how the bulky handles would work. I was completely wrong! The shape works very well since there is always a good angle to hold it with when reaching those hard-to-reach sore spots. The unit is heavy, so it is nice to be able to get it held at the right angle to use that heft to your advantage.
Initially, the app was not available for the Pro Plus, so I played around with the unit for a few days, learning about its capabilities and the huge assortment of heads that they send with it. These heads can easily be swapped for each other and a couple of them change the way the gun works. I have found that the vibration head works very well on muscle cramps that just won't relax, while the smaller percussion head feels great with heat turned on for regular muscle soreness after exerting them. The smaller heads allow you to reach those muscles that need the special shapes.
After I got the app updated to support the Pro Plus, I was (and am) amazed at how many different routines there are programmed into it. It seems that no matter what the context, there has been something developed to help you address it. I am still trying different ones and my wife has discovered it as well.
At first, I was worried that with both of us using it, the battery would not hold up long enough, but that is definitely not the case. The battery must be huge since this thing goes for days without needing a recharge! The LED light therapy and pulse sensor really add to the effectiveness of the gun.
I have learned so much using this product and am constantly learning new ways to use it. I have never spent this much for a massage gun before and still think it is a big investment but the gains in recovering from overdoing it or just relaxing after a big workout or strenuous activity really make this a must-have for anyone.
If you purchase this, make sure you take the time to explore the app and get to know what it has to offer - this is truly one of those products that is valuable without the software, but together they are so much better than using it without!

I’ve had every Theragun Pro since they first came out - this iteration is far and away the best version. Super quiet, excellent attachments. The only negative is that you have to buy the “Cold” attachment. You would think for this price point it would have been included.

The Best Massage Gun on the Market

Weightlifting has become an integral part of my life ever since the COVID shutdown of 2020. I needed an outlet to burn off steam and stress but also wanted to make a conscious effort to better my health and see noticeable changes in my figure. However, when doing this, the intensity of the workouts would grow and grow and so would the muscle aches and fatigue and lactic acid build up. I have used multiple brands of massage guns including Therabody's big name competitor. However, this one trumps them all, simple because of the care and ingenuity that Therabody put into this product to make it shine above the rest.
Let's start with the physical shell of the gun first. The ergonomic design and shape of this device, while it looks weird to some, is probably the best feature of a Theragun. You can reach spots you normally would not be able to reach with a typical massage gun and you can hold this gun multiple ways and they are all comfortable in the hands. Using the gun is as easy as pressing one button and then you can adjust the speed and turn on/off LED therapy (a new feature that is a welcome one that is even FDA approved). Have I noticed a difference with LED therapy? Not sure, but I am not going to dispute it works.
I really do love how the attachments go into this gun; they twist and lock so there is not going to be any instances where it pops off mid massage. Not only that, but this device is so smart, that it actually will recognize what attachment you put in! I was pretty blown away by that, it only works with the heat, vibration,ice ones, but because of that, it lets you customize the levels to those specific attachments like the heat level, the vibration intensity etc. The app is probably the best way to get the most of this device. There are dozens of differences preset routines that Therabody made that allow you to target specific areas or work on your sleep or breathing/meditation. These have immensely helped me recover faster after intense weight lifting sessions. Normally, after 48 hours I would be quite sore as the lactic acid built up. But as long as I use this massage gun right after my workout and the day after for 10-15 minutes on the areas that I worked on, the level of soreness dropped to almost non-existent.
This is definitely the best massage gun out there, and probably will be for the foreseeable future. Therabody did a great job with this gun. The only complaints I have are minor. For one, the LCD screen scratches way too easy which is a bummer. I also don't like how it defaults to turning the LED light therapy on, I wish it would default to off as it is not needed for every single session and is annoying when you are working on your neck and the light just blinds you.

Only lasted almost 6 months until it started becoming extremely loud and leaking out metal pieces. Can no longer use it until I get another one. Seems to be defective. Unacceptable. Would only recommend you buy this if you purchase a warranty!
