Selected Frequently Asked Questions About Theraguns
Is the Theragun made in China?
The answer is NO. Designed and manufactured in Colorado, USA, the Theragun began as a DIY power tool that Dr. Jason Wersland designed to help relieve his pain by delivering vibrations to deep tissue. That early contraption inspired what grew into the Theragun. The Theragun is a handheld, power-driven device that uses percussive therapy to deliver quick-fire blows (2,400 per minute), to muscles from intense exercise or any other activity.
Can the Theragun cause damage/Is Theragun good for sciatica?
Theragun can help sciatica by releasing tension and increasing blood flow. The percussive motion of the Theragun actually relieves the muscles around the sciatic nerve and helps diffuse the pressure on the nerve.
Warning: All percussive therapy massage guns can inflict injury and tear up scar tissues; the Theragun is no exception. The powerful hammering motion of percussion therapy can further damage your muscles. It is unnecessary to use the Theragun for more than two minutes at a time on one group of muscle.
Is the Theragun worth the hype?
