I just ordered it for my wife for Christmas i gave her a clue I said it’s for both of us and it vibrates she gave me the biggest smile I ever seen!
Lmao ^ awesome
she's gonna be disappointed lol
how do you like it?
Where to purcase it bro
@@ChocolateMuffin308 she’s actually very happy 😆
This guy is a genius. I teach multiple fitness classes and go the chiropractor often. I bought one and it rolled out all my tension and increased blood flow. I’m able to bounce back faster and have faster recovery when working out. Thank you for creating this!!!!!
My sister is a licensed message therapist and after I had an above knee amputation at the beginning of Aug 2021, she brought me her theragun to use during my recovery. Initially it was to help prevent hip contractures which is common in amputees, but I started using it on my leg at the surgical site, and literally on my incision area. The reason, was to desensitize the leg in prep for weight bearing and a prosthesis. Because after talking to other amputees, I learned that many often struggle with sensitivity issues after surgery and have to work on just touching the leg and working up to message to get rid of that pain. They advise patients to rub the incision to help that as well so I figured this found be helpful and I'm glad I did. Not only was it never terribly overly sensitive because I used this on it, but I also found that it would help with the phantom limb pain I was experiencing (luckily not severe though) as well as with breaking up the scar tissue and lesions at the incision site. I can't even begin to tell you how much it's helped me. My scar was completely healed in 12 days not 6-7 weeks like it takes most people, or so I was told. Most of that was due to a skin problem I have but also deep tissue message helps with increasing blood flow and healing so the gun helped that as well. I also have back, neck and shoulder problems so I use it on those areas as well. Actually, now I use it on any area I can reach on my own and absolutely love it. The amputated leg is doing great and soon I'll get my prosthesis which I'm excited about. Gratefully my sister decided to give me the gun as it was helping so well and she has others she's uses on clients and herself. Oh and just FYI it also helps to induce sleep which I desperately needed.
My leg was broken until I discovered Theragun, now my leg is totally fine! Thanks Theragun!
*Oh dang! That s@%t was funny!*

I suffer from rheumatoid arthritis and several other chronic medical conditions and pain is a constant with me. Additionally I have very tight muscles. A professional massage therapist once told me that in 20 years of massage he had never seen anyone with such tense muscles. A year or so ago my doctor was treating me for frozen shoulder and she suggested that a massage gun might prove beneficial. I looked around at guns available and they were all too costly for a retired person. Recently I discovered a modestly priced gun for around $100 and I have been using it for a week. I would have to say that this is the best $100 I've ever spent! My calf muscles are so tight and sore that when I first touch them with the gun it's like an electrical shot but by using very light pressure and moving the massage head back and forth constantly I can get the muscle to gradually relax until it completely lets go! After fifteen minutes on each leg the act of walking is an entirely new pain free experience! I also use the gun on my arms, hands, thighs and back and after half an hour my entire body is relaxed and pain free. Love this therapy and a big thanks to the doctor for inventing it!
Purchased one a couple of months ago. Great and relaxing.
Theragun is a miracle that improved my chronic pain of ten years!
Which one do you have?
@@katalinmcewan second generation
I bought it and returned it. I found one a third of the cost on Amazon which has exactly the same speed and power as Theragun.
@@tommyharris5817 which one did you get what’s it called
Did the chronic pain came back? I have a 4 year chronic back pain on the left minor rhomboid and it's difficult to remove
Got one for my dad who is an orthopedic surgeon. He loves it and he wants me to buy a few more so his physiotherapists can all use one during PT session now.
Damn you must be rich. I save a couple months to afford 1
@@LittleLo couple hundred bucks not that expensive lol

@@lonewolf1513 no they don’t, idk where you live but here in the US they make 420k AT MOST
@@Iam_be_ezy that’s expensive for me
Thank you
I just tested out like 10 massage guns. The Theragun prime was the best in my opinion without the frills. Bob and Brad are good but don't have comparable amplitude, which is the most important feature. Theragun battery is not good and the price is high but it was still the best for power and deepness. Other good options Bob and Brad X6 and Opove M3 pro. Issue with Bob and Brad is the amplitude and with Opove is the quality control. I bought two devices and both had defects.
Great video. Will be ordering one
MY bf got it for me for my bday I LOVE IT
Where do you even use it?😂😂
We absolutely love this how this product started from Dr J looking to solve his own problem!
Could be a marketing ploy you know :)
@@Marco-bh9im Yes, it often is. I’m always amazed by stories I come across. Like someone suffered from crippling fatigue and depression and was dead broke yet went to study nutrition at university and now running a multi million dollar empire, etc. etc. If you ever had those (I did) it’s obvious that it isn’t possible. Initially, I was inspired, till I read one too many of these touching stories, then realised it’s just a marketing ploy in most cases.
@@katalinmcewan Yeah it's a ploy, but let me tell you Percussive therapy is brilliant and has helped me immensely. Increasing blood circulation will keep you healthy regarding proper blood flow in all areas which will prevent any future issues. There is a list of problems I had and it fixed and relieved me of pain. I can't go into all of them as I'll be here forever.
Hey does anyone know if theragun works for fibrosis after liposuction???
I just ordered the elite for my fiance... She wants clues for christmas, but I'm not telling her that it's basically for both of us 😉🥰
Iv just done the same thing!!winning 🤣
😂
Dr Fulford invented the hammer (a percussor) back in the 80's? He was a D.O. and built a whole treatment system around the hammer. I bought one and have used it for 20 years and it always comes in handy at relieving back pain (along with flexall). It vibrates the fascia and if there is a blockage in the energy flow and will hammer when it comes across stiffened up muscles and helps them "let go" and the hammering smoothes out once they become loosened. The Fulford hammer has a 1/4 hp heavy duty motor and it wont overload even pressing really hard into areas, but the percussion at varying rpms does wonders. Lower Rpms gives me best result. The problem is the fulford hammers are more Dr or hospital type purchases as I paid less than $300 20 years ago and now when I looked it up they are about $750 so the current glut of handhelds are much more affordable (but i am sure they are not as long lasting).
Youre looking a little tense dr.needa lol great way to introduce using the product lmao
I have 2 bulging disc in my back. I wonder if this would help or if it would cause them to rupture or even mess with my kidneys.
I got a Theragun a few weeks back after my grandpa was dealing with broken elbows from fighting too much at the bar. We put it to the test and after 2 min use the elbows healed. He is now going to use it on grandma which he sends to the moon daily. Thank you Theragun
😆
Demo begins @ 02:48
Used this on my feet and I can feel the difference already
I spent way too much time researching massage guns just to realize that Bob and Brad C2 is prob best. This is my third massage gun. The last 2 tend to be more of a vibrator than a massage device. Not really helpful. The price + performance of C2 looked just like an absolute steal. It is nothing short of amazing! Over the years i’ve gone to their channel when ive had the odd niggle and i've always found their advice to be right "on the money".
What are you describing exactly (some other YT channel or a different brand massage gun)? If the latter, do you have a link? TIA.
wow cool
I got one. It's pretty good, but not $600 good (I got the pro bc of the 60 pounds of pressure). I would price it at around $300-$400. $300 would be a good deal, $400 is my personal upper limit on what I think it's worth. Doesn't beat human touch.
There are plenty of knockoffs that go for under $100
I agree.
Why would you spend a half grand on something without even doing research..
Watching this guy tell u his product works isn’t research it’s a COMMERCIAL
I was wait for it to get tangled in her hair
This really good I know
I love my guns. I bought the mini and pro. The pro has a soft attachment. With the soft attachment I find I love doing a head massage. I place a bonnet on my head & gently run it across my head. It’s so relaxing.
And dont use it on post fracture sites. I learnt that the hard way
yes ok good
When it will be available in INDIA?
I bet he grabbed a reciprocating saw 🤣. I have the theragun pro and use it daily after workouts.
I got mines today! Can't wait to review it on my page. Feel in love with it at a calisthenics park... Wow.. Game changer.. Trust me

Well worth it
Buy one. You won’t regret it.
@@WilliamGone that's debatable. There are better options for the price.
@@jesseramirez9205 I own it works wonders, two batteries beats most others
When do I use ice over the gun? Thanks
change my mind
When she said "you've done research" to prove it works I wanted to say, BUT IS IT something published in peer reviews? Because she used that argument on the man that was discussing the benefits of the carnivore diet. You can't have it both ways doc.
Excellent point! 👌🏽
Good point!
Why is there no link in this video so I can click on it and purchase the product that makes no sense!
Just Google it, Jesus fck. Its literally couple more clicks away... 🤦♂️
Against CZcams's terms now I believe. 🤔. I may be wrong tho.
@@mastocytoma1 thanks it might be not really sure myself but I did Google it and it turns out it's way too damn expensive and you can get the same thing from another brand that is just as good it may even be better for a way cheaper okay that part!*
Hmm! I like the one which I purchased for relief of lower back pain! 👍
Is it a different one?
It would be great if we could use it while connected to the power supply, so that when battery dies we know we can still use the massager in the future. Depending on batteries it makes us depend on the company selling us the same batteries in the future.
When the battery dies just recharge it. Or buy several battery packs.
It’s likely the voltage off of the wall doesn’t match the battery and wouldn’t provide the same experience.
They usually last for like 2hours. Idk if you gonna use it for that long lol
@@Smithy250 I didn't mean because of the battery duration but the amount of battery cycles. If it lasts for example 300 cycles, when you run out of cycles you would have to get another battery, and that's an issue because the battery from G4 to G5 is different. So you depend on the company to still sell you the same battery of your model

Keep it away from the Carotid artery as well so you get no tears and anything that has a stent inplanted.

This guy went to his shed, grabbed a couple tools and created theragun!
FOS...
Its even better for vibrating concrete!
hey if you're actually trying to buy one of these try ebay, i got one for 20 usd and its been awesome. it makes you feel more flexible and sound less creaky
where can i buy it??
amazon does have them
Feel Bored cheap!
pound away pain? that shit is just asking for people to make fun of it!
Will plz Explain about Uses...
In addicted to my theragun.
I have one if these (I’m sore a lot from CrossFit) it works great but very expensive I got the cheaper model which was $200 only has 1 speed and 2 to interchangeable heads the $500 one has like 5 different heads and 2 speeds. Oh also it dies pretty quickly maybe 10 or so minutes straight but does charge pretty quickly I’d say about 1 to 2 hours
You gettin ripped go on amazon and get fitpuls massage gun for 130$ has 30 speeds n ten heads
CrossFit is stupid
Hypervolt 3 speeds,5 heads, and thats the base model and its $279. I went with this over the theragun
@@nickatnite16 maybe my next one I get I’ll try that one
can i used on my dog
Yes
no! omg no!!!
My wife has bad back pain and I really hope this can help her, just ordered the Elite.
My husband just got it for me this past Sunday .. and let me tell you! Is AMAZING!!!! i had a really bad lower back pain and with 2 sessions I was feeling a lot better .. however he got me the mini and it works great .. you would be surprised how this mini theragun can do in your body ..so make the investment.. try the mini 😉
Let me message her. Full body baby😝😝😛😜🤓
Need it
Want it.
Now
Can you strengthen pelvic floor muscles with massage gun?
Don't be stupid. Do isometric exercises.
Sweet dreams
Love mine 💪💪
act up
How lucky she is, the actual owner of theragun is giving her a massage.
Im guessing his first design was using a jigsaw or a sabre cutter.
So he just built a massage gun with some scraps from his tool shed. Sounds legit!
Motorcycle accident personal trainer ordered the theragun
So i put a ball on a jigsaw
I guess it's not for everybody. They run from $350.00-475.00!
They have some on amazon for 100-200
I got a powerful one for 180%
I got one for $30 it comes tomorrow
Seen them for 40 bucks actually..
Robert Abraham yea they want your money!
This cured all of my pain, even pain I had comes to terms with having to live with forever because I had gone to physio, chiro, and massage for a lot of treatment. One night of using it took away 80% of my pain. 90% within 2 weeks, and 100% after a month.
Liar
@@sorry7436 Lmao!!!😂🤣😅
Says the top sales guy at Theragun Corp. LOL
Nope, not a rep for it at all. I’m just a North American guy who stumbled on something that works incredibly well and wanted to share my experience. I don’t care what brand you buy. If you choose not to buy a massage gun but live in pain, that is a choice you will have the pleasure of living with and will prove your genius level intellect.
The way you describe it sounds like snake oil but I've had a similar experience. I've been battling with tennis elbow for months. Been using braces, stopped lifting, changed positions at work to break up the repetitive movements but it just kept lingering. I used the mini and it broke up like 90 percent of the inflammation around my joint. Obviously can't put it directly on your elbow but it's the best its felt in months.
Its a jigsaw with a hard ball on the end instead of a blade. That's just fine EXCEPT, that it doesn't come with someone to operate it so
it is of limited use for people who hurt & are alone (which is most pain patients).
Travis stork seems to have had a forehead Botox. He used to have a lot of wrinkles before but its not there anymore.
Hurt the heart when he said for pregnant women to not use on their lower back 🥴😭😂
I actually don't know why you couldn't to be fair. I think he is just speaking from an overly extremely pre-cautious stand point due to legal reasons but that would be like saying you cannot get a massage on your lower back when pregnant. He couldn't say a blanket statement it is safe because pregnancy increases certain risks which the massage or the device could make worse, so purely just covering himself legally.
I'd personally use it on a low setting and work it up from there.

Yea i was thinking the same, dude just say you used a jigsaw... Think he doesn't want to say that, cause people will make it themselves, and then he wont make any money

Question; how does someone massage their lower backs with this thing? Meaning without someone doing it for you??
check out the theragun mini, I tried that tonight and it is small enough to hold and get to your lower back. I liked it.
My husband and I have one, and it's quite simple actually. My trouble spots are back shoulder blade ad lower back. If you can put your hands on your should bases ( like a strap) and put your hands behind your back, you'll be able to move the device there, it's pretty light too.
Hmm! I've got one similar. Yes I've managed to use it my back/shoulders but it can be Awkward though. It takes time to find a way which gets it done. But of course it's always better if you've got someone to assist because it would be better results. 👍
Foam roll your back. Use the gun for the other parts
Using the mini is so easy 🙂
Let me guess you’re here from tiktok😏
Dang Travis looking old 😳 I haven’t seen this show since 2012
Really! Is this a plug for his product, his own infomercial? How much is he getting paid to have a free show on his product? I suggest everyone who looks into his product to view all reviews on Amazon first.
The guns work great, you don’t have to buy his particular product
Thanks Pocahontas
you can make it from your golf ball and a jigsaw tool at much lower cost. save money!
