Based on over a decade of research and development, the brand's gold-standard Theragun therapy devices use proprietary cutting-edge technology to effectively relieve muscle tension, accelerate recovery, and improve performance.

We would like to bring Theragun Prime to the top of the leaderboard and give it the highest overall score. This is the most budget-friendly option from Therabody family, but still provides all the features you need to relieve muscle pain after a workout.
Theragun Prime operates quietly thanks to exclusive QuietForce brushless motor technology. Included with the device are 4 replacement tips and a smart Bluetooth connection application that is very helpful with initial setup, and even provides a video tutorial.

With 9kg of force and three speed settings, Theragun Mini is not as powerful as the other massage guns on the list. However, this machine is especially useful for people with weak hands or who are struggling with chronic joint pain that cannot hold heavy equipment comfortably for long periods of time.

Ergonomic handle Smart application Bluetooth connection Highly customizable speed range Luxurious, beautifully OLED display for visual display |
The large size causes hand fatigue when holding for a long time |
Besides, the Elite is a bit bulky so it can be difficult to hold during a long massage session, which is why we don't give it a perfect score for ease of use. However, we appreciate the prestige of the brand, the device not only has a beautiful design, but also offers a high-quality user experience and has very few flaws. Even though it's only three speeds, that's more than enough and it doesn't skimp on versatility with the five attachment heads.

Once you're more familiar with the concept of using a post-workout massage gun, consider this Theragun Elite. Compared to Theragun Prime, the Elite will excel in quietness with an OLED screen that displays exercise.
4. Theragun PRO

Theragun Pro is Therabody's flagship product and is loved by many fans. This is a good investment if you are looking for an intensive massage. With 27kg of force, six attachments and a swivel arm, Theragun Pro offers the ultimate in intensity and versatility for muscle pain treatment — perfect score for effectiveness.
The Pro's arms rotate to four different positions combined with an ergonomic grip that makes it ideal for hard-to-reach places like the lower back, glutes, and hamstrings.
