Quoted: I’m not sure I could spend $300+ on one but they are look handy and being able to pinpoint certain areas seems important. Anyone using them or similar? I bought this one and it works great! From the reviews I saw it comes from the same factory as the $500 hypervolt. |

You can get massage attachments for an ordinary jig saw

I bought this one and so far, have no complaints. In fact, I keep it on the floor next to my office chair and use it quite often.
I was impressed that for the price, you get the massage gun, recharging cable and several attachments, all in a case with cutouts for each item. They do work as advertised. Be sure and look for the right amplitude (mm of movement, this one is 14 mm) and stall speed (amount of pressure you can apply before you overwhelm the motor and the head freezes, 60 lbs for this one). Both of those are near the top of the ranges I found, even on the guns costing several hundred dollars. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: That's their biggest drawback. I can reach a significant portion of my back, but it's not ideal in that I can't get the precise angle or pressure I want. There are some areas that are just not possible for me to reach. Luckily, most of my issues are around my traps and shoulders, which are easily reached. That would be a no sell for me, about 80% of the work I need to do is right in the middle of my back. My rhomboids knot up like crazy, and if I slack with the back knobber it turns into neck pain in short order. They get so bad that sometimes I'll really be leaning into one with the knobber and it will start to twitch like crazy before finally starting to release. It's insane, but I think I understand why old guys are always complaining about being sore, they probably have 30 year old knots in their back that have never been beaten into submission. The gun would probably work good on my forearms though, I get knots in those too from work. |

Ive dabbled in some manufacturing and private label in the past. Factories make things. I could have the factory that does the hypervolt make me shoeboxes full of dogshit. As long as i have a spec sheet and plans, they'll do it. Doesn't make it a hypervolt. |

My wife has regular bouts of severe asthma that no specialist has been able to curb and medicine does practically nothing. I've kept her out of the hospital for decades by pounding and deep message on her back when she gets bad. I got one of these after seeing the thread - total game changer. Thanks OP.

When I squat heavy I get very severe doms in my quads and thighs. I got a massage gun and didn’t feel that it made a difference. I’ve tried foam rollers, the stick, the massage gun... nothing besides time really seems to help. Maybe I’m doing it wrong.

Damn man I can't imagine glad it works for her. I knew a girl with CF and she had several contraptions that beat her up in various ways to clear her lungs. One was a vest that just shook/vibrated her and didn't look fun at all. Cheers to you both |

The chiropractor, massage therapist, and acupuncturist that I see all use those guns. My physical therapist uses this big thing that looks like a power sander. I wish I had one of those guns when I was doing massage therapy. It probably could have saved me from carpal tunnel.

I was watching a Eddie Hall video the other day and he was using a plug in 110v car buffer. I laughed at first but then was impressed. I knew a guy who turned a recip saw into a massage gun almost 20 years ago. Guess he should have patented it. |

Seems to be great at getting blood flow/mobility to tight areas. My girlfriend uses it more then I do, damn near daily. Guess tittays and about 6lb worth of hair cause neck and back tightness. |

I made this out of a 4' scrap 2x4, short piece of 1" PVC, and a (rounded, not flat) cap. I did sand the lettering off the cap to make it smoother. I can hit neck, back, shoulders, everything down to lower back, where I can switch to a hard knurled roller.

I bought one on Amazon after having one used on me during physical therapy after a calf tear.
They used a Theragun or something like that. It’s $500-600. I bought one made by Wittne (or something similar, not at home to verify) and it’s been great. Maybe $150 with a 3 year replacement plan. |

I just bought a theragun. Only had it a few days, but I bought it because so many guys I work with swear by them.
So far it seems like it's really helping with stiffness and soreness and I've been using it almost every day. I looked at the less expensive versions but reviews all said how loud they were compared to the theragun. No way would I bother with jigsaw attachments. The theraguns triangle handle is designed so that you can easily grip at any angle, and I can reach pretty much every inch of my body with little issue. They also offer 20% off for mil/1st responder. My $400 gun came in at $350 shipped with tax. ETA: Aaaand they're having a black Friday sale I should have waited for. Very very good pricing.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Does this type of tool work on sore shins and hamstring? I’ve never heard of these before. They work wonderfully on hamstrings! I ended up in physical therapy for knee pain that was eventually traced to really tight hamstrings. The hypervolt used in therapy was amazing and it just beats the soreness right out of whatever muscle is bothering you. |

I bought the Theragun Pro. Works much better than I expected. Probably overkill, but the extra batteries and rotating arm are great features. You won't bog down the motor, which is a big selling point.

When I was knotted up from having my arm in a sling for 3 months after shoulder surgery, this $30 unit was like MAGIC: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N4B6VY4 I'm sure it's no theragun, but boy... that sucker will hit a knot, and work that knot OUT. Also, if you're super knotted, pick up a cheap TENS unit on spamazon. Cross the pads around the knots, and turn it on LOW... like... "barely feel it" low. And leave running for an hour or two while you go about your business. |

I bought my wife a hyperice hypervolt for Christmas.
She has a janky shoulder with muscle contractions that cause shortening and forward rotation. It does a very good job at breaking up muscle adhesions and causing the muscle to release. That said. It hurts. Even on low it is more painful than a foam roller. But it is a good kind of hurt. Fwiw, unless you are into genital mutilation, it should never be used near the groin. It is a jackhammer with a rubber tip. |

I got one for Xmas. Never thought I'd like one, but for muscles it's a life changer.
For deep stuff, loosening up tendons, etc. it's not as useful. Feels good, but it's hard to really get in there deep, even with the hard plastic attachment. |

I got the Thera Gun. Works great.
I've had a bunch of hamstring pulls over the past year and a half that have really limited my training. Result of very tight hamstrings and glutes from not stretching enough. The Thera Gun help loosen everything up so I get a deeper stretch. I also have some bursitis in my hips, this helps with that pain as well. I use mine everyday, sometimes twice a day. |

It helps me get loose before foam rolling, stretching, or doing general mobility work. |
