Even if you are recovering From marathon training or try to remove the shoulder after hours of walking on the screen, Type therapy Can help. Therabody has long led the massage gun space and Theragun Pro Plus (the sixth generation) is the most ambitious model of the company. It takes the known deep -incard percussion treatment and layers of therapy, vibration and infrared led technology for a tool to recover all in one. It is part of Jackammer, a part of spa treatment (General safety instructions, here).
There is even an optional cold treatment. A better hand -held version – you won't see me Cold In this life.

With a price of $ 600, Pro Plus is an investment and it looks like a part. The matte black case is made from durable plastic and TPU, firm, the OLED screen gives it a luxurious edge and a triangular multi -grip design that helps to distribute weight to reduce wrist tension. However, at 3.63 pounds (without attachment), it is the most severe therapy. Holding it on the head for a long time will feel like an exercise in itself.
The OLED screen has a force gauge so you can see exactly the level of pressure you are applying. I really like this feature because it feels like a delicate nudge to me to apply more pressure. This can also be helpful for others to go too much.

Pro Plus comes with seven attached files: Five standard (dampers, standard balls, thumb, micro and wedge points), plus two specialized ends for thermal and vibrating treatment. The hot mount with three temperature settings (113 ° F, 122 ° F, 131 ° F). It does not become as hot as a heating pad, but when combined with the percussion, it feels like a spa.
I started using it before practicing on my quadrilateral and it made a remarkable difference in how hard I felt when I went into a rotating layer. Pro Plus is also compatible with Therabody's cold treatment, but With $ 89 addIt feels like a sales. After testing it, I also said it is not necessary unless you are a fan of Contrast Therapy.
What are the different attachments used for?
- Damper: Use on bidding muscles or bone area.
- Standard ball: For body massage to reduce stress.
- Thumb: For activation points and lower back to reduce the knot.
- Micro perspective: To increase stimulation and circulation.
- Wedge: For the shoulder blades, the bands, shaved and flushed.
- Heat percussion: Loosen hard muscles and accelerate recovery.
- Vibrate: Use on muscles and joints pain, circulation and sensitive treatment.
- Cold therapy (sold separately): Relieve pain, swelling and inflammation.
How to clean my therapy?
According to Therabody's website, only use A magic eraser Or damp cloth to wipe your device. This also applies to most attached files, except for Supersoft (not compatible with Pro Plus).
Recovery or excess?
When it comes to power, Pro Plus provides. Its 16 mm amplitude and five-speed setting (1,750-2,400 rpm) makes it one of the most powerful massage people on the market. The redesigned EQ-150 brushless engine is also 20 % more quiet than the previous generation, this is a good improvement. It is not silent but should not be uncomfortable if you have a friend in your home or a pet. Different battery life is based on the features you use, but about 150 minutes with standard settings.
That said, some features may feel more. For example, Therabody offers its infrared led therapy as an enhancement of recovery that increases blood flow and reduces muscle aches. A research company supports this, but in daily use, effects are difficult to notice unless you are recovering after injury. There is also an integrated biometric sensor to monitor my heart rate, but in reality, it doesn't add much to my experience and I rarely use it.
