Recovery Tools

Our Take

The Theragun Relief is Theragun's entry-level percussive massage gun, positioned as an accessible, consumer-friendly option rather than a professional-grade tool. It targets casual gym-goers, runners, and office workers dealing with everyday muscle soreness. Simpler and more affordable than the Pro or Elite models, it trades power and customisation for ease of use and a lower price point.

Key Features

Three built-in speed settings, selectable via a single button

Ergonomic angled handle designed to reach the back and shoulders without awkward contortion

Comes with two attachment heads: a standard ball and a thumb attachment

Relatively compact and lightweight compared to higher-tier Theragun models, making it manageable for smaller hands

Operates at a quieter noise level than older-generation Theragun devices, though still audible in a quiet room

USB-C charging with an internal rechargeable battery offering several hours of use between charges

Our Verdict

The Relief suits beginners and casual users who want a trustworthy, no-fuss massage gun for post-workout recovery or desk-job tension. Those with serious recovery demands, larger muscle groups to target, or a tight budget would be better served looking at rivals or saving up for a Theragun Elite.

What We Like

  • Genuinely straightforward to use with no app pairing or complicated settings required
  • Angled handle makes self-treatment of hard-to-reach areas considerably easier than straight-handled alternatives
  • Reputable brand with solid build quality and reliable after-sales support

Things to Consider

  • Attachment selection is quite limited compared to mid-range competitors at a similar price
  • Motor amplitude is lower than Theragun's pricier models, so deep-tissue relief may feel insufficient for heavier athletes
  • No Bluetooth or app integration, which some users expecting a "smart" device may find disappointing
  • Value for money is debatable — lesser-known brands offer comparable performance for noticeably less
