Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have seen these being used in the sports realm. So I was glad to finally get my hands on one. I recently got back into biking. After riding 10-20 miles your legs can get sore. Well, after a few minutes with the Theragun Relief, my legs were less tense and fatigued. I love this item. I take it everywhere now. The size is small enough to fit into any backpack. This thing is pretty much silent. So even in an office environment, you won't be disturbing the ones next to you. It has a USB-C charger which is a plus. So you can use your phone charger (As long as it's a decent one) to charge the theragun. I never drained the battery below medium because you only use this thing for minutes. I did enjoy the quick illustrations that came with it. I mainly used the standard ball attachment. You get two others which are a dampener and a thumb attachment. So you get three total. I have mainly been using the theragun on my legs. When they get tight you can loosen them up in minutes. Did you sleep wrong and wake up with a crick in your neck this can help also. This thing dang near gives you instant relief to tension within the muscles. I used it on the more meaty parts and not on the bony parts. I have never had a massage but I'd imagine this is what this does. Releases pressure and tension within the body! Who doesn't want that? I highly recommend this item. The only negative I found was for individuals with bigger hands you may accidently turn the speed up when using. This happened a few times but it was no big deal. This is still worth it.

BACKGROUND: I am a 72-year-old “grandpa” who tries to keep up with my two grandsons (6 & 3). Also, I spend a few days each week with “yard work” maintaining a half-acre property. Add to that mix is my 2-mile power walking about 4 days a week. All of those activities will tend to push me to my physical limits, and at night it is not uncommon to wake up with either or both of legs all cramped up (aka: nocturnal leg cramps). Specifically, my calf and/or thigh muscles. SOLUTION: I have tried other methods to alleviate my leg cramps, both proactive and reactive, none of which have had quick or lasting results until I tried the Theragun Relief percussive massage tool. This device is now my new best friend. It only took a few minutes of massaging my thigh and calf to completely eliminate my muscle cramping. Best part is, I am able to return to sleeping, and without re-waking with the leg cramps returning. DEVICE: This newly designed Theragun Relief model is what I would consider an economical entry level addition to their lineup of percussive massage devices competing with the numerous “copycat” percussive massage devices currently flooding the market space. It is somewhat smaller and lighter than their flagship units and without any “bells and whistles”. Although it does include three different sized ball attachments, a USB-C to USB-C charging cable, and some instruction flash cards. Simplicity at its best! USE: Couldn’t be easier. Choose an appropriate ball attachment (Standard, Dampener, Thumb), power on, select one of the three available speeds, and apply the ball end to the muscle group that requires attention. Now I found the low-speed setting, with the Dampener ball, to be perfect for eliminating my legs cramps. POWER: This device has four LED’s indicators. A Green LED is incorporated into the power button. Short pressing the power button toggles power ON/OFF without activating the massage function. Long pressing the power button activates the massage function in low intensity (1 White LED). Then you can step through the three intensity settings with additional short presses (2 White LED’s medium intensity, 3 White LED’s high intensity). To turn off this device, just long press the power button. CHARGING: When connected to a power adapter (not included), the Green power LED will pulsate from light to dark indicating charging mode. As previously mentioned, the package includes a charging cable (USB-C to USB-C), but it does not include an actual charger. Although this is not an issue for my use (I already have too many chargers), it may be for others who don’t have an existing USB-C charger. APP: There is a “Therabody Application” that can be downloaded (scan the QR code) to access additional guided routines beyond the supplied flash-card routines. Good to know. RATING: A solid 5-Stars for this entry level, economical, percussive massage device when comparing to similar entry level devices.

The battery life is very minimal. I think it might be defective.

Therabody Theragun has always been the top tier pummeling massager. With the Theragun Relief, you get all the advantages with none of the frills that you never use anyway. The biggest difference between the Relief and the higher priced models is that the Relief is not 'app-enabled'. You can use the app for help and massage programs, but it doesn't control the gun. It comes with a smaller assortment of massage heads than the more expensive models and the throw is slightly shorter (10mm vs 16mm). There are three heads included. The dampener for massage around bones (ie., knees or hips) or where you want a softer touch, the standard head for general massage, and the thumb head for simulating a thumb massage (ie., back and neck). I am a cyclist and ride upwards of 100 miles in a day. Over a weekend I might double that. The Theragun Relief is a welcome end to the ride, especially when I'm riding distance two or three days in a row. I use the Relief on my quads and calfs after a long ride to relax and stretch the muscles, which seems to really speed recovery. I use the recommended two minute interval on each muscle group. I've also used it after weight training sessions where I'm really more apt to overdo it. The Relief is dead simple to use. Charge it up via the usb-c port and pick a massage head. There is one button to start, stop, and select speed. Hold it for three seconds to start, touch again to select the speed, and go. When you're done, hold the button again to stop. It's small enough to easily pack for trips, or to carry with you to the gym. Overall, I'm really glad I got the Theragun Relief, it's perfect for my needs and I find it really makes a difference. The small size and battery operation make it good for both extended travel and day trips. Definitely recommend it for your consideration.

Little history first… Have happily been using the original TheraGun Elite for three years, it is the only massage “power tool” that I have found to work for my thick tight muscles. Have tried many. During recent two months of PT therapy, I brought my original TheraGun to the clinic, my PT, who has doctorial in Physical Therapy highly approved and used each session as part of my therapy routine. It was wonderful. As much as I love my Elite model, had wished for a smaller lighter model that I could easily manage and use myself, reaching difficult areas like the lower back, upper shoulders, and neck area. TheraGun must have been listening as they have just released their latest entry into the into the PT field. Enter TheraGun Relief! A brilliantly powerful massage therapy in a lightweight small form factor that is easy to personally handle. The Elite is fantastic, though you really need another to run the therapy appliance for back muscles manipulation. With TheraGun Relief I can now massage many of the areas that need manipulation and relief most. Inside TheraGun Relief box it states: “Refresh your legs” “Reduce neck tension” “Relieve lower back pain” That was my first impression, it is spot on. If you have an Elite, or buy one it is nice that the attachments are compatible. If you compare the TheraGun models to other knock offs you will see immediately there is a vast difference in design, engineering, and build. My PT told me they had a few knock offs in the clinic, he was not impressed and bottom-line they do not perform and to me do not appear to be reliable. My Elite has been going strong for three years. If you are looking for massage gun therapy that works, give TheraGun Relief a good look. It delivers.

Our old massage gun was an off brand and lasted a few years. We picked this up as our replacement. Definitely an upgrade! Hold a pretty decent charge that lasts. Does a great job on the first 2 settings. Almost never need to use setting 3. The handle allows for different angles when using alone. Great when you have help. Only has three changeable heads but seems to be enough. When this one eventually dies will get the same one again.

I have not had a chance to try the other high-end models, but for the price? This thing is amazing! It really loosens up the knots in my muscles. I've used it on my feet(best for my flat feet), my legs, arms, neck, chest, and back. Seriously the best purchase i made this year. Only down side is its a little noisy if you are not watching where you are bracing.

Theragun Relief PROS: Great size and weight Love the handle for holding it in different ways to hit your back and neck. It’s so much easier to hold than other percussion units I have used. The Dampener attachment is perfect to start with. Softer and cushier, I really like it. The Standard Ball is like many percussion units, yet works well. Charges via USB-C so it’s easy to find a charging cable even though one is included. On/Off button is also a speed selection button and it is straightforward and easy to use. The indicator light indicates relative battery level using 3 different colors. So far after 3 uses it’s still showing Blue (full charge). Changing the attachments at first seems difficult until you figure out to simply pull them straight off quickly! They seem tight until you realize how easily it can be done with a quick jerk. It’s quieter than most percussion units. It has a quality to it in construction, feel, and quietness. CONS: None CONCLUSION: I really like the “loop” handle on this model. It makes it easier to hold and to reach specific spots on your body. I appreciate the quietness and quality construction of this unit. I also like the “dampener” head for comfort and relaxation. There are additional heads included to give you that deep firm massage as well. The unit is small and can be easily packed in a suitcase. Overall a great percussion massager. I would definitely recommend this unit.

Purchased after I tweaked my back on vacation. For reference I am young, 24 years old, and very athletic, but I couldn’t walk due to what felt like a pinched nerve. Saw this product at a great price point (Best Buy Drops) and purchased hoping for some relief. Was a bit skeptical as I have tried many devices like this in the past but this was a GAMECHANGER. Small, easy enough to use by yourself (which is arguably the most important), powerful, long lasting and it works!! Used on my back over the course of 2 days and my pain is gone. Will be using this all the time, recommending to others, and taking it with me on my travels as its small enough to pack away.

The Relief is a new model of percussive massager from Therabody. It came with three different attachments; the standard ball, the thumb, and the dampener. Also included a usb-c charge cable. Battery life is claimed to be 120 minutes, I charged the device when it arrived almost a week ago and haven’t needed to charge it again yet, even with two of us using it every day. It has simple controls, only one button. Long press the button to turn it on or off, short press the button while it’s on to adjust the speed. If you short press the button while it’s off a LED will turn on to show you the state of charge. Therabody claims it reduces tension and increases blood flow so I’ve been using the thumb attachment on my lower back to help loosen it up. I think it’s been helping so I’ll keep using it. My wife likes to use the dampener on her feet and lower legs, she said she feels that it’s been relieving the DOMS she was experiencing a day after her gym workout. The triangle handle allows me to have a comfortable grip in about any position, the only place I can’t reach is the center of my back so the wife has to help.

This thing is awesome. It's an absolute pleasure to use and is so handy to help with aching muscles.

Light weight with great performance. Love the speeds.

The Theragun is hands-down the best massage gun on the market. Its powerful percussive therapy delivers deep muscle relief, exceptional performance, and noticeably faster recover perfect for athletes and anyone with chronic tension.

This thing works great on tired, sore muscles. I have used it on my thighs, hips, calves, back and ankles. It is great at releiving muscle soreness and tightness.

best product especially helps me with recovery after running a marathon. Battery life its amazing and the attachments make it a top notch theragun.

It's works great and I'm completely satisfied. Can't believe how powerful it is.

I LOVE IT WORKS GREAT I RECOMMEND THIS ONE !!!! WORKS SO GOOD ON UR MUSCLES

Awesome product! I was in defense into purchasing this because I feel that it’s too expensive for a massager , but I bought it for my husband who’s been experiencing really bad back pain. I used it on him every night and he said his back pain improved tremendously closed to not feeling back pain at all and side pain. Make sure to use it daily it will improve heal your back pain. He still uses them for his arms, upper back and legs. This product seems to be working better than the other massager we purchased on Amazon. I just wish the price is a little cheaper, so others that are in a budget can afford it to help them out with their issues. I’m just lucky that Best Buy has it and I used my credit card to purchase it. Thank you Best Buy you saved us from our daily aches and pains.

This product has a lot do strength, for someone who requires deep tissue massage, it'll definitely get the job done. I'm usually skeptical about these items but this one has impressed me.

the theragun is wonderful! it is easy to use and has really helped my lessed my neck pain and tight muscles. Best christmas present this year...I will probably have to buy another one because everyone in my family likes it too!
