Rest days and recovery are as important as a tough workout for achieving your fitness goals, and our editors rely on Therabody’s innovative lineup of devices. The benefits of recovery extend beyond performance, regardless of whether you lift weights, run marathons, or prefer a low-impact Pilates class. Besides reducing muscle tension, enhancing circulation, and promoting faster recovery after intense workouts, these products help you relax mentally as well.
It all started with the brand’s bestselling massage gun that uses percussive therapy and various attachments to target sore muscles and increase blood flow to the area. The rapid, concentrated pulses provide a deep-tissue massage that instantly relieves your muscle pains. The brand has since expanded its lineup to include compression boots, a vibrating foam roller, and even a device to help with sleep — and we got to test them all out. These recovery gadgets have smart features, such as Bluetooth connectivity and customizable settings, for a personalized therapy experience.
Therabody’s devices are not just for fitness enthusiasts; anyone can benefit from owning one (or a few) of these gadgets, whether they deal with back or body pain, need help improving flexibility or circulation, or want to decrease overall stress. Ahead, check out our favorite Therabody recovery devices backed by our editors and see which ones are ideal for your needs.
Therabody SleepMask ($99)
If you have trouble sleeping, Therabody’s SleepMask completely blocks out light and is equipped with three adjustable vibration patterns. The vibration patterns are scientifically proven to help improve sleep quality, according to the brand. Plus, it’s travel-friendly and stays put thanks to its adjustable nonslip strap and plush cushioning that conforms to your features without adding pressure. You also get free access to TheraMind sound content via the Therabody app, so you can listen to calming music to help lull yourself to sleep. Read our other editors’ thoughts in our Therabody SleepMask review.
Editor Quote: “My favorite settings to use were the wave and pulse patterns, but I liked all three of the vibration options. The wavelike vibrations felt soothing and helped me fall asleep. I felt like it gave me something to focus on, instead of anxious, racing thoughts, my usual go-to. I also enjoyed following the guided TheraMind sound-therapy choices and nature soundscapes from the Therabody app. As someone that has difficulty falling asleep quickly, the experience definitely felt relaxing to me.” – Jade Esmeralda, health and fitness staff writer
Therabody Wave Roller ($149)
Smooth out muscle tension and improve your flexibility with Therabody’s Wave Roller. Unlike a traditional foam roller, this one uses vibration therapy to help release muscle tightness and increase mobility. The 12-inch roller has five customizable vibration techniques and is made from a high-density hypoallergenic foam. You can use it on your legs, hips, and back. Read our Therabody Wave Roller review for more information.
Editor Quote: “The superior speed and massage work can help you relieve muscle tension and soreness on a deeper level — not only are you using your body weight to target specific areas as you move, the vibration is assisting in the process. What’s more, the innovative wave texture carved into the foam has a purpose: it adds extra dimension to help you massage your body at varied angles, while also providing traction.” – Sarah Wasilak, associate content director, Shopping
Therabody Theragun Sense ($229, originally $299)
The Theragun Sense combines traditional percussive massage with a mindfulness moment — ideal for those who want a holistic mind-body treatment. Along with area-targeted massage routines, you can access breathwork sessions via the Therabody app. Not only will you be able to relieve physical aches and pains, but also give your mind a minute to pause, reflect, and reduce stress. This massage gun has five percussive massage speeds and four attachments: Dampener, Standard Ball, Thumb, and Micro-point. It is equipped with a biometric sensor for heart rate readings that align with your breathwork sessions and an LCD screen with buttons for controls. Check out our in-depth review of the Theragun Sense for more information.
Editor Quote: “What makes the Therabody Theragun Sense different from all other massage guns on the market is the ability to practice breathwork through guided sessions on the app. The Sense uses vibration cues to guide you through the breathwork sessions, and will show your minimum heart rate post-session to show you how much you relaxed. The breathwork is particularly great for those of us who easily get distracted while meditating. It removes the stress of having to close your eyes and block out the rest of the world, which, personally, put me more at ease.” – SW
Therabody Theragun Prime Plus ($399)
Percussion therapy helps relieve muscle tension, but adding heat therapy offers even more benefits. With the Theragun Prime Plus, you get a Heated Percussive Plus attachment that helps loosen muscles and melt away soreness and pain while speeding up recovery. It also comes with the Ball Plus attachment, Dampener Plus attachment, and Wedge Plus attachment. You can choose from five speeds and three heat levels. Read more in our review of the Theragun Prime Plus.
Editor Quote: I like the ergonomic, triangular shape of the Theragun Prime Plus, which makes it easy to change your grip when targeting certain areas without triggering any pain in the wrist, forearm, or shoulder girdle. One of my favorite aspects of the Therabody Theragun Prime Plus is the fact that it can administer heat. It seems like a small thing, but using a massage gun that’s cold against the skin isn’t always the most comfortable experience. I liked the warmer temperature option, especially when using the Theragun to warm-up or to ease post-workout pain.” – JE
Therabody JetBoots Pro Plus ($999)
Compression boots help with muscle recovery and boost circulation, so you feel more agile and loose rather than stiff and sore. However, the JetBoots Pro Plus features infrared LED and vibration therapies for a comprehensive recovery gadget. These compression boots deliver optimal recovery to alleviate muscle soreness and joint pains and reduce inflammation. These fully wireless boots inflate and deflate in 60 seconds, plus they have built-in LCD controls, along with in-app customization. If you’re into lymphatic drainage massage, the JetBoots Pro Plus is the gadget you need for your legs. Learn more about these compression boots in our in-depth Therabody JetBoots Pro Plus review.
Editor Quote: “I love the combination of compression therapy, vibration, and infrared LED light, three therapies that together are meant to help increase blood flow, reduce swelling and inflammation, and ease muscle tension. After tough workouts like strength training, dancing, or martial arts, these boots feel like they help reducing muscle stiffness or tension. They allow me to focus on self-care, relaxing my muscles and relieving soreness. Each session leaves me feeling recharged, refreshed, and ready to take on whatever comes next.” – JE
