  • Powerful percussive performance
  • Ergonomic triangular design
  • Long-lasting battery life
  • Sleek, travel-friendly mini
  • Noticeably loud operation
  • Occasionally weak battery longevity
  • Heavy, bulky devices
  • Overly intense lowest setting

Therabody earns strong reviews for delivering powerful, ergonomic recovery tools—Theragun and TheraFace notably ease soreness, speed post-workout recovery, and relieve jaw tension—yet the brand draws criticism for loud operation, overly intense lowest settings, bulky/heavy designs, and inconsistent battery longevity. Reviews also flag doubts about certain LED benefits and app utility, plus occasional durability issues and poor support, making Therabody highly effective but not universally comfortable or fuss-free.

  • I have the theragun mini and it is perfect. I can bring it anywhere with me and I always pack it for ski vacations to sort my legs out after day 1. I also have chronic neck pain which the soft attachments help alleviate. I ALSO suffer from migraines and will put the soft attachment directly onto my face for relief. This is a nice little treat for someone with chronic pain :)

  • We have the little sized massage gun and it's perfect for travel. Was purchased as a gift and is used frequently. The small size is really nice for travelling.

  • Have really enjoyed the few products I have tried from this brand. Definitely an investment but my husband and I have gotten a lot of uses out of the massage guns we have purchased.

  • The theraface is 100% worth it. I love mine. I also have a nuface but I like theraface's microcurrent attachment better, it feels stronger, has a better battery life and the other attachments are great too!

  • I only have the theraface and im a huge fan. It really has helped my skin but also facial muscles and jaw pain

  • Theraguns are absolutely amazing. I feel instantly relaxed after using it on tense shoulders or after working out.

    Great product but pricey.

  • I've absolutely loved our theragun. We purchased the Theragun pro, and it's helped with recovery, sore muscles, and built-up lactic acid in my muscles (which causes me issues sleeping). The shape is great, and makes it difficult to reach difficult spots around your body.

    The product is quite heavy. I'm sure this is for sturdiness, but it does make it difficult to hold for long periods of time.

  • Everyone in our family pushes themselves a little too hard -- whether it's sitting too long for work, running too many miles after sitting too long, or playing tennis or other sports for hours. The Therabody is just the right tool to work out those sore muscles. It's an investment. But, it's convenient and less expensive than weekly massages.

  • Amazing. I love the big and mini gun. I have the worst knots and especially back pain.

  • Is it a little loud? Yep. Was it a splurge to buy? Yep. Is it freaking awesome? You better believe it. I use my Theragun a few times a week, sometimes more if I'm sore or have an ache that bothers me. It's pretty straightforward; pick the right attachment, adjust the angle so that you can massage the area that needs work (or don't if you're lucky enough to convince your partner to help), and then go to town. It's about as easy as it gets, and in terms of relief and relaxation, it does a great job. The Theragun isn't a replacement for a good massage, let's be clear about that, but it is a fantastic supplement, and something you can do on your own, in a span of about 5 minutes, to get some improvement if you're hurting. I also occasionally like to use the Theragun before hockey games or surfing, to warm up muscle groups that are prone to tightness, and it's great for that. My only gripe is the volume, but I don't know how you avoid it.

    See above...mainly complaints about how loud my Theragun Pro is. I think I have the last version, and knowing that the new version is supposed to be quieter makes me a little sad. Maybe a trade in program for people like me who can't / won't buy the newest model every time, but would definitely consider a trade in if it meant a quieter model.

  • Love everything about this product. I tested this and a competitor and after 2 years of consistent daily use, it works just as well now as it did the day I got it. The competitor? Not so much. I can't wait to try more (the facial massager especially!)

  • Have the Theragun Mini and l'm loving it. Helps relief some of my aches and pains. Definitely pricey, but was able to get it on sale. The size is great and durable.

    Lowering the price

  • I got the Theragun Pro almost a year ago as a gift. I'm an avid gym-goer and use this frequently to help treat sore muscles. It charges quickly and keeps a charge well. Really only use one or two of the interchangeable heads that came with it, but it is nice to have options. Very user friendly and has a sleek design.

  • I got the Theragun for Christmas 2 years ago and I'm still obsessed with it. I personally hate getting massages (even when I really need one) and this is especially great for my tight hamstrings. Definitely watch the video tutorials for each muscle group to make sure you're targeting the right areas and not getting hurt.

  • You can't beat the Therabody brand. The theragun is a life changer, and I love the vibrating foam roller. I work in a therapy clinic and these are by far the best quality ones I've used - even though they're pricier than I'd like for them to be.

  • I love the theragun. It is much more powerful than the typical knockoffs. It is also more ergonomic and easy to use / fit in your hand.

  • I’ve tried 3 different products, with mixed results. My favorite has been the mini massager, as it’s plenty strong enough, portable, and was a reasonable price (they are constantly doing promos with Amex and other credit cards and most products are fsa eligible). I tried a hot/cold knee thing which was crazy expensive and didn’t do anything noticeable for me. I also tried their signature massager (some versions ago) and it was so loud I couldn’t watch tv while using, which annoyed me enough to return. I also recall the battery being sub par. That said, they took both of those items back!

  • My Theragun is my best friend. It’s been there for me through thick and thin. I feel safe pushing myself to the limit during a workout because I know my gun will be there for me when I get home
