When was the last time you had a great massage? And, who wouldn’t want that every day?
Introducing the Theragun – the G3PRO Percussive Therapy Device. As an avid athlete and also parent of two 60 pound kids who frequently fall asleep in the car on the way home at night and need to be carried up two flights of stairs, my body always hurts. I was ecstatic to try the Theragun and also slightly skeptical. Could it really “activate muscles fast?” Would it live up to the hype as the “Most advanced deep tissue massage device to effectively relieve muscle tension, soreness & pain?”
Um, yes.
Yes it would.
Holy hell, this thing is the Jaguar of massagers.
Its lightweight, compact and effective design was just as good as a professional massage, without the anxiety of flipping over knowing that your time is halfway done.

Price point
I have to say, I balked a little bit at the price, but the GovX offer is the best you’ll find. And, it’s easy to justify once you recognize you can get exactly three professional massages for the cost of the Theragun, which, with their awesome warranty, will last for years.
The truth
With different attachments, you get different levels of pressure and varied impact. I used the cone attachment to target that fun area where your calf muscle attaches. I used the standard attachment for the insoles of my feet. The wedge attachment was awesome on my shoulders. The triangle handle made it easy to reach my lower back which generally feels like I’ve been hit by a car. Every attachment, every feature made it feel like I was getting a professional level massage.
The best part? My kids thought it was a super fun treat to let them “play with it” by giving me a back massage. Sweet little suckers. But after all those trips up the stairs, they owe me.
