How do these compare to a Therbody/Theragun. I feel the generic ones are not even helpful, but used the Theragun mini and loved it.
I haven't used this specific model, but I've used one that cost probably around $40 abroad. Compared to the Theragun, it was kind of underwhelming honestly. Theragun kind of punches you, whereas the kind I used didn't have as much power - and also felt like it vibrated moreso than did punching.
For Theragun though - Two of my relatives said the Theragun was too powerful and uncomfortable to use on their back - even on the lowest setting, and with the regular tip. The rest of my immediate family, myself included, thought it was fine. Your mileage may vary, I guess.
I don't know if there are any stores that let you try out the Hyperice/Hypervolt(?), but that seems to be a sort of slightly cheaper alternative to Theragun. (Still more expensive than this though). I know Target used to have display units out on the floor, but supposedly they aren't activate-able since COVID....
I've also tried a massager called something like Purewave... It has a long arm so that you can more comfortably use it on your back. If I had disposable income, I'd probably pick one of those up too - since it helps to reach certain areas on the back... But you can probably mostly self-manage with something like a Theragun anyway. The power on it was decent, and I want to say it was somewhere between $120 and $160...
As an aside: I don't necessarily recommend that you do it, but supposedly the early Theragun was based off of some kind of power tool with like a rubber ball added to the end. Some people have recreated that sort of thing, but I wouldn't be comfortable doing that myself
Costco has this for $49 currently. $35 when it's on sale. It's a heavy unit, body is made of metal. The weight is good, as it decreases the vibration on the hands. Charges via usbC.
