We’re eons away from the elemental massage gun from Theragun that made its way into our hearts (and fascia) years ago. More than 1,200 hours of testing and two years of product development have gone into optimizing the PRO Gen 5’s brushless motor. It features QuietForce technology, which preserves power, frequency and power but is 20 percent quieter. The OLED screen on the device now shows four built-in actions with visual clues: Sleep, Warm Up, Recovery and Theragun Break. You can also connect to the Therabody app via Bluetooth for more personalized actions.

While the signature triple design is unchanged, the Gen 5 uses 85 percent less plastic than its predecessors for a lighter environmental impact and features fast USB-C charging (no fumbling with a stand or digging to find the device’s charger). To improve recovery, performance, sleep, mobility, and stress relief, six attachments come included: Standard Ball, Reducer, Thumb, Wedge, SuperSoft, and Micropoint (new attachment with flexible silicone spikes that increase stimulation while gently relieving tension in sensitive areas).
stay tuned Theragon Mini ($199) Update. Capacity remains the same, but this Gen 5 kinematic innovation allowed the Mini to get smaller. Enjoy Bluetooth connectivity and ease of use with the USB-C charger.
We are big fans of cupping for healing. The suction causes the tiny blood vessels to dilate and break down under the skin Cleveland Clinic. The micro-shock stimulates your body to send more blood to the area to begin the natural healing process. It also aids in recovery by releasing scar tissue and fascial adhesions, promoting blood circulation, and promoting better mobility. Now, the problem with introducing sports medicine to the masses is that it has to be true to the science but safe, effective, and consistent for people to do on their own. The pressure can vary from cup to cup and from treatment to treatment. The masterminds at Therabody had to figure out a way to control pressure and maintain a moderate suction level. The digital cups feature ThermaVibration™ technology that increases circulation by adding vibration and heat. There are three different levels of heat and vacuum decompression (30 kPa, 40 kPa, 50 kPa) you control the top of each TheraCup, plus three interchangeable cup sizes (35mm, 45mm, 55mm) . As a fail-safe procedure, TheraCup will automatically shut down after 3 minutes of continuous use as well as if the internal pressure exceeds 60 kPa. The lip of the cup is also smooth and rounded to reduce irritation at the point of contact. Topical relief with a professional treatment you can do at home? Say no more.
