therapy gun

Reported amplitude (stroke depth) for therapy guns generally falls between about 10 mm and 16 mm, with some models advertising around 10 mm and others claiming up to 16 mm.

Common attachments include a dampener head, standard ball head, thumb-style and micro-point heads, wedge and flat/bullet-style heads, and occasional specialty heads (heated, vibration, air-cushion, U-shaped). Kits typically include two to five or more heads depending on the model.

Typical battery life is around 2 to 2.5 hours of use. Charging is commonly via USB‑C/Type‑C, with some models supporting higher‑power PD fast charging (e.g., 15W). Many units use a non‑removable lithium‑ion battery.

Weights vary by model, commonly ranging from about 1.3 pounds up to roughly 5.3 pounds. Many manufacturers include travel pouches or cases to improve portability for users on the go.

Common warnings advise against use if you have a pacemaker, defibrillator, implanted TENS/unit or other implanted metal medical device. Manufacturers also recommend consulting a healthcare professional if you have a medical condition or are pregnant or nursing.

Many models emphasize rugged construction such as metal housings or impact‑resistant rubber exteriors with reinforced corners. Some manufacturers also advertise drop protection or similar heavy‑use durability measures (claims vary by model).

Reviewers most often praise therapy guns for their power and effectiveness at post‑workout or deep‑tissue relief, ease of use, and the usefulness of included attachments. A smaller number of reviews note noise level as a drawback.
