Our Take
The Theragun Relief is Therabody's entry-level percussive massage gun, designed for everyday muscle soreness and post-workout recovery rather than deep clinical treatment. It sits below the Prime and Elite in the range, making it the most accessible Theragun for casual gym-goers or those new to percussion therapy who don't want to spend heavily upfront.
Key Features
Percussive therapy device with a 12mm amplitude (shallower than the Prime's 16mm)
Three speed settings adjustable via a single button on the handle
Ergonomic angled handle designed to reach the back and shoulders without assistance
Includes two attachments: a standard ball head and a dampener head
Approximately 120 minutes of battery life per charge via USB-C
Relatively quiet motor compared to older-generation budget massage guns
Our Verdict
A sensible starting point for gym-goers who want occasional recovery support without committing to a premium price. If you're treating persistent tightness, training heavily, or have used a massage gun before and want more power, step up to the Theragun Prime — the Relief's shallower amplitude will likely leave you wanting more.
