{ “@context”: “https://schema.org”, “@type”: “FAQPage”, “mainEntity”: [ { “@type”: “Question”, “name”: “What is a Theragun?”, “acceptedAnswer”: { “@type”: “Answer”, “text”: “A Theragun is a handheld percussive therapy device made by Therabody. It uses rapid, targeted pulses to penetrate deep into muscle tissue, helping to relieve tension, reduce soreness, improve circulation, and support recovery. Therabody developed the original Theragun in 2008 and it has since become one of the most trusted names in recovery technology.” } }, { “@type”: “Question”, “name”: “How is a Theragun different from a regular massager?”, “acceptedAnswer”: { “@type”: “Answer”, “text”: “Unlike vibration massagers that sit on the surface of the skin, Theragun devices use percussive therapy — a rapid back-and-forth motion with higher amplitude (depth of stroke). This allows the device to reach deeper muscle layers more effectively. Therabody’s patented triangle grip design also makes it easier to reach difficult areas like the mid-back without straining your wrist.” } }, { “@type”: “Question”, “name”: “Are Theragun devices scientifically proven to work?”, “acceptedAnswer”: { “@type”: “Answer”, “text”: “Yes. Therabody backs its products with peer-reviewed research. Studies have shown that percussive therapy can help reduce delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), improve range of motion, increase circulation, and support stress and sleep. All Theragun devices are FDA-registered medical devices and are HSA/FSA eligible in the US.” } }, { “@type”: “Question”, “name”: “Who should use a Theragun?”, “acceptedAnswer”: { “@type”: “Answer”, “text”: “Theragun devices are designed for a wide range of users — from professional athletes and gym-goers to office workers, people with chronic muscle tension, and anyone looking to improve their sleep and stress levels. Therabody’s lineup covers everything from intense deep-tissue recovery to gentle daily wellness routines.” } }, { “@type”: “Question”, “name”: “What’s the difference between the Theragun models?”, “acceptedAnswer”: { “@type”: “Answer”, “text”: “Therabody offers several models: Theragun PRO / PRO Plus — professional-grade, highest stall force, for athletes and therapists. Theragun Prime / Prime Plus — powerful all-rounder for regular exercisers, 16mm amplitude. Theragun Sense — designed for stress relief, relaxation and sleep, with guided on-screen routines. Theragun Relief — entry-level, lightweight, great for everyday aches. Theragun Mini — ultra-portable, travel-friendly, compact design.” } }, { “@type”: “Question”, “name”: “Which Theragun is best for beginners?”, “acceptedAnswer”: { “@type”: “Answer”, “text”: “The Theragun Sense is an excellent choice for beginners — it has guided on-screen routines that show you exactly where to massage, for how long, and with how much pressure, so there’s no guesswork. The Theragun Relief is another great entry point if you’re on a tighter budget.” } }, { “@type”: “Question”, “name”: “Which Theragun is best for athletes and serious training?”, “acceptedAnswer”: { “@type”: “Answer”, “text”: “For athletes and frequent exercisers, the Theragun Prime Plus or Theragun PRO Plus are the top choices. They offer a 16mm amplitude for deep tissue work and higher stall force, meaning the device won’t stall even when you press firmly into a tight muscle.” } }, { “@type”: “Question”, “name”: “What is the difference between the Theragun Sense Gen 1 and Gen 2?”, “acceptedAnswer”: { “@type”: “Answer”, “text”: “The 2nd Generation Theragun Sense features an enhanced LCD screen, improved live pressure feedback, and simplified controls. However, it ships with 2 attachments instead of the original 4, and the biometric heart rate sensor was removed.” } }, { “@type”: “Question”, “name”: “Is the Theragun Sense good for sleep and stress?”, “acceptedAnswer”: { “@type”: “Answer”, “text”: “Yes — the Theragun Sense is specifically designed for stress relief and sleep support. Studies cited by Therabody found that 87% of participants fell asleep faster after using Theragun before bed. It uses a quieter motor and gentler 12mm amplitude, making it ideal for winding down rather than intense post-workout recovery.” } }, { “@type”: “Question”, “name”: “How long should I use a Theragun on each muscle?”, “acceptedAnswer”: { “@type”: “Answer”, “text”: “For most muscle groups, 60–120 seconds per area is sufficient. Move the device slowly over the muscle rather than staying in one spot. For warm-up, use it for about 30 seconds before exercise. For recovery, 1–2 minutes per sore area after exercise works well.” } }, { “@type”: “Question”, “name”: “How often can I use a Theragun?”, “acceptedAnswer”: { “@type”: “Answer”, “text”: “Daily use is generally fine for most people. However, limit any single muscle group to 2–3 minutes per session. If an area feels more sensitive the next day, give it a rest or reduce pressure and time.” } }, { “@type”: “Question”, “name”: “Can I use a Theragun on my neck and back?”, “acceptedAnswer”: { “@type”: “Answer”, “text”: “You can use a Theragun on the muscles of your upper back, shoulders, and the sides of your neck (the trapezius and neck muscles). Avoid direct pressure on the spine itself, cervical vertebrae, or any bony prominences. Always keep the device on soft muscle tissue.” } }, { “@type”: “Question”, “name”: “Should I use a Theragun before or after exercise?”, “acceptedAnswer”: { “@type”: “Answer”, “text”: “Both! Before exercise, use it for 30–45 seconds per muscle group to activate and warm up tissue. After exercise, use it for 1–2 minutes per sore area to help flush out metabolic waste and reduce DOMS.” } }, { “@type”: “Question”, “name”: “Are there any situations where I should NOT use a Theragun?”, “acceptedAnswer”: { “@type”: “Answer”, “text”: “Avoid using a Theragun on open wounds, bruises, or inflamed skin; acute injuries (sprains, strains, fractures); areas with blood clots or deep vein thrombosis (DVT); directly over joints, bones, or the spine; or areas with implanted medical devices (pacemakers, nerve stimulators). If you have any medical conditions or are pregnant, consult your doctor before use.” } }, { “@type”: “Question”, “name”: “Is a Theragun safe to use every day?”, “acceptedAnswer”: { “@type”: “Answer”, “text”: “For most healthy adults, yes. Daily use in moderation — a few minutes per area — is considered safe. Listen to your body. If you experience increased soreness or discomfort, reduce frequency or intensity.” } }, { “@type”: “Question”, “name”: “Can children use a Theragun?”, “acceptedAnswer”: { “@type”: “Answer”, “text”: “Theragun devices are designed for adult use. Keep them out of reach of children and consult a paediatric physiotherapist before use on minors.” } }, { “@type”: “Question”, “name”: “How long does the battery last?”, “acceptedAnswer”: { “@type”: “Answer”, “text”: “Most Theragun models offer up to 120 minutes of battery life on a single charge. The Mini has a shorter battery life of around 150 minutes. All models charge via USB-C.” } }, { “@type”: “Question”, “name”: “Are Theragun devices loud?”, “acceptedAnswer”: { “@type”: “Answer”, “text”: “Therabody has significantly reduced noise levels across their lineup. The Theragun Sense and Relief are the quietest models — described as whisper-quiet. PRO-tier models are slightly louder due to their more powerful motors, but still quieter than older generations.” } }, { “@type”: “Question”, “name”: “Are Theragun devices HSA/FSA eligible?”, “acceptedAnswer”: { “@type”: “Answer”, “text”: “Yes — all Theragun devices are HSA/FSA eligible in the US, as they are FDA-registered medical devices.” } }, { “@type”: “Question”, “name”: “What warranty do Theragun devices come with?”, “acceptedAnswer”: { “@type”: “Answer”, “text”: “Most Theragun models come with a 1-year warranty. The PRO-tier models come with a 2-year warranty. Always check the specific product page for details.” } } ] }
