how loud is it on a scale of could watch tv to jackhammer?
Anyone with experience or knowledge of Theraguns able to advise on which model(s) offer the best 'bang for buck'?
What's a 30mins of sports massage.. around £30? So you could look at it that the theragun, depending on model, is aimed at folk willing to fork for between 7 and 13 sessions of sports massage over one to three years*. Last year I probably had 6 or 7 massages. This year none, obvs..

Yet cycling with its well researched marginal gains still insists on massage post race/ training.
There's something in the way scientists look at stuff like massage and physio etc. that suggests feeling good and pain free isn't an important and worthy goal.
Hard to concentrate on work when the DOMS is real. A bit of massage can surely help in that case.
Not used a massage gun so can't make a direct comparison but my missus recently bought this neck massager (£50)https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mo-Cuishle-Shiatsu-Shoulder-Massager/dp/B07G142F9Z/ref=asc_df_B07G142F9Z/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=427886377362&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=12036410761320351171&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9045286&hvtargid=pla-570455391784&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=100400901540&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=427886377362&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=12036410761320351171&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9045286&hvtargid=pla-570455391784Each side is made up of two knobbly interlocked 'starfish' shaped things, and really dig in. You can crank hard on the straps to really drive it in, or even lie on it like the traditional roll on a tennis ball treatment (agony). Obviously quite bulky and mains powered. I suspect its more useful for stiff backs, shoulders, legs etc rather than arms and elbows which you can probably target better with a massage gun.
Seen these being used at the wall (pre lockdown) and on some SM posts...Are they any good?
Hilarious 😆 (well to me anyway) and glad I got a £60 clone of Amazon!
