I'm a Physical therapist and use these type of devices regularly for patient treatment. We have a HYPERVOLT (~$250) in our outpatient PT clinic which is great for acute muscle soreness (DOMS) & soft tissue remodeling.
There are many "knockoffs" like this one, but finding one that is reliable and durable is the key. We have had fellow PT clinicians buy the cheaper versions for personal use and have returned them due to poor quality, limited percussion power, short battery life, and rattling housing.
With all that said, I've already order this item from Costco for use in my home gym. Crossing fingers that it's just as good as the professional/industrial versions which would be a steal for only $60. You can't beat the Costco return policy if it is not of quality. Hope this helps...
Question that we'll probably see 20x in this thread. Depends on your expectation. It's better than a normal massager IMO. Though is that still good enough for anyone here?
I suffer from nightly back soreness. I'm an active person and play multiple sports a year and power lift year round. So for something that relieves some soreness nightly, this thing is pretty great. It's the only constant I have because I can't afford regular chiro, massage, cup or accu pressure therapy visits. Oh and my wife tired of me asking for a back rub every night.
Is this perfect? Absolutely not. Lets be real. It's $59.
Personally I don't think this helps with recovery like some claim. But IMO it helps with acute soreness.
I have one. I think they are over rated. I don't see or feel the big deal about them.
But you don't have this exact one, do you?
I'm not trying to be a jerk, just curious. I'm sure it's like anything these days, all made in the same OEM China factory, but I'll check it out for fun and return it ASAP if it's garbage.
Just grab a reciprocating saw and replace the blade with a rubber nub.
If anyone pays like $400 for one of these, they need to use it on their head.
Edit: grabbed one as the listing is suspect enough to gamble with. Let's see how this turns out!
The saw adapter works well but the issue is controlling the speed with most saws (and noise level), I purchased one after using the saw adapter for a while and am happy with my purchase.

The real ones do not sure about the cheap junk.
I got the hyperice for my wife to use during conference calls & for her to use on my lower back and its been awesome for us.
Like anything else expensive or quality, you want to get alot of use to justify it but mow with covid its great to be able to do at your own leisure in house vs pay someome n go to an office (if you dont need extreme help)

Thanks for the reply
I weight lift and workout regularly, don't really get too much soreness these days and have only used these a handful of times and it was really hit or miss but never used one consistently to really feel the effects.

Hmmm for $60 I may have to try it, worst case I can return to Costco in store right?

Make sure they havent changed return policy especially on something u use on skin. But normally sure use and send back, prime has alot of similar priced ones

I love using these on my calves and feet. They're not sore or anything, but man it just feels so damn good.
