Theragun - massage thingy
Discussion
I get massively tight neck, shoulders, back and chest from working on a computer. I do yoga a couple of times a week, have stretches to do, take breaks from the screen etc etc, and also have fairly regular massage therapy... it never seems to really make much of a difference and it always goes back to being a problem, and ends up in pain. I've tried most of the recommended things, but then I see this Theragun product advertised and wondered if it might be of use to me. Anyone used one?
Just purchased a Renpho off Amazon Prime. It really does help, I was suffering from tight neck and some weird pulsing in my back and it sorted it right out. I use it after cycling just to avoid too much tightness. Theragun is by all accounts the platinum option, but at those prices..

I do hope that this thread has a "happy ending".
i think if you used one of these on your old chap you might be unpleasantly surprised!!s p a c e m a n said:
I thought that the difference was that the proper theragun thing had a motor that worked a cam inside so that it has a much better motion over the cheap ones that are basically a rubber ball attached to a jigsaw
Are the couple of cheap ones mentioned above built like the theragun?
Sounds like marketing.Are the couple of cheap ones mentioned above built like the theragun?

I don't actually know if that makes it better, I just know that the cheapest ones are just a motor with a ball on the end..

According to a blokein work some ladies athere buying them to "bash the bud", seems like a hardcore version of those back massagers that got repurposed.
Bullst.I tore a shoulder muscle and my husband got one for me. I can’t even hold the damn thing. And I don’t like it near my head - it’s too brutal - gives me a headache.
He uses it on his legs after a workout tho
But for a happy ending?? - seriously??
