Everyday Massage Gun

Theragun Relief Percussion Massager

The Theragun Relief is Therabody's simplest massage gun, a handheld device with a soft head that taps at a sore muscle on the gentlest stroke in the Theragun range: 10mm, the shortest of them all. Three speeds cycle from a single button, with LED lights marking which one you are on. It weighs 1.37 lbs and runs about 120 minutes on a USB-C charge. The Standard Ball, Dampener and Thumb heads come in the box, and it comes in Navy and Sand, identical in both. The Relief is FDA Registered and HSA/FSA Accepted, with a 1-year warranty.

A 10mm stroke is a milder thing than the 16mm the full-size Theraguns deliver, and that softness is the entire point of this device. It is the gentlest level of percussive massage in the Theragun line and the simplest set of controls in it. Three speeds, one button and a head soft enough to use on a calf or a forearm without bracing for it.

A rechargeable battery gives about 120 minutes and fills over USB-C. The Relief is FDA Registered, an establishment listing with the agency and not a review of safety or effectiveness. It is HSA/FSA Accepted too, though the final call on any claim sits with your plan administrator. Therabody covers the device with a 1-year warranty. Bluetooth pairs it to the Therabody app for guided routines and control of the device, which is available and entirely optional.

Key Features

Key features

The Relief keeps it simple with a 10mm stroke, three speeds on one button and 1.37 lbs in the hand.

A 10mm stroke at the gentle end
The head travels 10mm in and out on each pass, against 16mm on the full-size Theraguns, and the six millimetres you lose are what turns a hammer into a tap. No other Theragun is set softer. Three speeds sit on top of that stroke, so there is range inside the soft end and not one fixed intensity. Gentleness here is the whole device, not a mode you switch on.
10mm depth - 3 speeds
Three speeds on a single button
One button does everything. It wakes the device, it steps through the three speeds in order, and holding it switches the device off again. LED indicators beside the button show which speed is running. Nothing about the device has to be configured, paired or learned before it is used.
3 speeds - one button
Three heads for three jobs
The Standard Ball is the general-purpose head for quads, glutes and hamstrings. The Dampener is softer and shaped for tender areas and for working near bone. The Thumb is the narrow one, made for trigger points and the lower back. All three are in the box, and the four other classic Theragun heads fit the same mount if you want to extend the set.
3 heads included
Bluetooth routines when you want them
Bluetooth pairs the Relief with the Therabody app, which carries guided routines and can control the device from a phone. Nothing about the device depends on it. Every speed is reachable from the button on the handle, and the app is worth opening on the days you want a sequence chosen for you.
Optional app pairing

A Closer Look

How to use it

The Theragun Relief head and attachment mount in the navy colourway
How soft

A milder massage by design

Ten millimetres of travel is a small number next to the 16mm at the deep end of the range, and it produces a very different sensation. The head still moves fast, but it does not drive as far, so the contact feels closer to firm tapping than to a hammer. This is the gentlest level of percussive massage in the Theragun range. That makes it usable on places a 16mm device is awkward on: a forearm, a neck, the top of a foot. The Theragun Mini Plus uses the same 10mm figure in a much smaller body with heat added.

  • 10mm treatment depth, the distance the head travels each pass
  • Three massage speeds behind that stroke
  • A softer contact than any 16mm device in the range
  • Weight of 1.37 lbs
  • Body measuring 9.66 in x 2.58 in x 1.37 in
10mm 3 speeds 1.37 lbs

One button

Three heads and one button

Everything on this device is reachable without instructions. A single button wakes it, steps through three speeds and turns it off, and a row of LED indicators beside the button reports which speed is running. That is the entire interface, and nothing about it changes as you get further into owning one. Three heads arrive with the device, and the four remaining classic shapes use the same mount whenever you decide you want them. Swapping a head takes about as long as reading this sentence.

  • Standard Ball attachment for quads, glutes and hamstrings
  • Dampener attachment for tender areas and work near bone
  • Thumb attachment for trigger points and the lower back
  • One button for power and all three speeds
  • LED indicators showing the speed in use
3 heads One button USB-C

Finish and cover

Two finishes and what covers them

The Relief comes in Navy and in Sand, and the two are the same device in different finishes. Nothing about the stroke, the speeds, the battery or the heads changes with the colour you pick. It is FDA Registered, which is an establishment listing with the agency, and it is HSA/FSA Accepted, which means the device is the sort of thing those accounts are meant to cover. Whether a particular claim goes through is a decision your plan administrator makes, not one Therabody or we can make for you. A 1-year warranty from Therabody covers the device whichever colour you choose.

  • Navy and Sand at identical specification
  • FDA Registered establishment and device listing
  • HSA/FSA Accepted, subject to your plan administrator
  • 1-year warranty from Therabody
  • USB-C charging cable in the box
Navy or Sand HSA/FSA Accepted 1-year warranty

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Five items. The Theragun Relief itself, a Standard Ball attachment, a Dampener attachment, a Thumb attachment and a USB-C charging cable. Three heads, where most massage guns of this size ship with two.
All seven classic heads: Standard Ball, Dampener, Large Ball, Cone, Thumb, Wedge and Supersoft. Three arrive with the device, which leaves four to add if you ever want them.
A rechargeable battery in the handle, filled over the USB-C cable supplied with it. Expect around 120 minutes of use from a full charge. At ten minutes a session that is a week or more of daily use between charges.
The foam heads, and nothing else in normal use. 60 to 90 days is the sensible replacement window, depending on how often a head is used, and they are bought one at a time. Give the head and the body a wipe when you finish, and check the USB-C port for lint if the device lives in a pocket.
The head travels 10mm, against 16mm at the deep end of the range. That is a meaningful difference in feel: the Relief taps where the bigger devices drive. It is the mildest percussive massage Therabody builds, and it is the one to try if a full-size gun has already proved too much on you.
A 10mm stroke is a gentle one on a large, well-loaded muscle group, and the Theragun Prime at 16mm is the tool for heavy training work. Heat comes with the Theragun Prime Plus or the Theragun Mini Plus. The Relief is larger and heavier than the Theragun Mini, which is the suitcase-friendly one.
It is FDA Registered. That is a listing of the establishment and the device with the agency; it is administrative and it is not a review of safety or effectiveness. It is a distinct thing from FDA clearance, which this device does not hold. It is also HSA/FSA Accepted, so those funds can normally be used, with your plan administrator making the final decision on any particular claim. A 1-year warranty comes from Therabody.
Yes. Recovery For Athletes is an authorized Therabody dealer, so the manufacturer warranty applies and you can register the product in your own name.

Almost perfect.

"This muscle thumper has been hugely helpful with my tight back and neck from a whiplash. The triangle handle is ingenious, and works great. The only thing that I dislike is that occasionally it thumps oddly for a minute."

— Scott B. (4/5)

"Quiet and relaxing"
