New to Prime Day? We’ve got the lowdown on everything you need to know . Sales are accurate at the time of publication, but prices and inventory are always subject to change.
As a marathon runner, I take my recovery seriously. It’s no exaggeration to say that massage guns have changed my life, and TheraBody is a brand I swear by. Right now, the TheraBody TheraGun Prime Plus, which normally retails for $429.99, is available for $380 on Amazon for Prime Day, but it’s only $334 at Walmart .
Oddly, Walmart assumes the retail price is the same as the Amazon sale price. I can’t say if it’s a mix-up or not, but you’ll win, to the tune of almost $50 (Walmart will even ship it to you for free).
What Makes TheraGun Prime Plus Stand Out
Even for smaller competitors, heat therapy is all the rage in the massage gun market. The TheraGun Prime Plus combines proven TheraGun technology with soothing heat therapy, creating a dual-use approach to muscle recovery that addresses both surface tension and deeper muscle knots.
The device features TheraBody’s signature triangle design, which makes it comfortable to use during extended sessions. Its quiet operation—or at least quieter than earlier TheraGun models—makes it suitable for use in public spaces without disturbing others. The battery life extends to 120 minutes on a single charge, ensuring that you won’t be interrupted during your session.
But again, what really sets the Prime Plus apart is its heating feature. I can’t live without it. The gentle heat helps increase blood flow to the target areas, potentially increasing the effectiveness of percussion therapy. This combination can be especially useful for pre-workout warm-ups or post-workout recovery sessions.
Smart features that matter
The TheraGun Prime Plus connects to the Therabody app , which offers step-by-step programs tailored to specific activities, body parts, and recovery needs. Whether you’re dealing with leg fatigue from running or shoulder strain from working at a desk, the app provides step-by-step protocols designed by wellness experts.
The device comes with four different attachments, each designed for specific muscle groups and treatment types. For example, the damper attachment is good for sensitive areas, while the standard ball attachment treats larger muscle groups.
Great price (and some alternatives)
Compared to regular massage therapy sessions, which can cost $80-$120 per hour, this type of massage gun quickly pays for itself for regular users. If the $386.99 TheraGun Prime Plus is still out of your budget, several other recovery devices are also on sale for Prime Day:
-
Toloco Massage Gun , reduced from $59.99 to $39.98 (33% off). Includes 10 different massage heads.
-
Bob and Brad Q2 Pro Mini , down from $89.99 to $72.19 (20% off). Punches above its weight class, as you can read about in my review .
-
TheraGun Sense , reduced from $299.99 to $199.99 (33% off). Comes with built-in visually guided treatments.
-
Hyperice Hypervolt 2 Pro , reduced from $349 to $299 (14% off). Offers three speeds and a powerful motor, though it lacks the heat feature of the TheraGun Prime Plus.
Whether you choose the premium TheraGun Prime Plus or one of these alternatives, I can’t stress enough how much of a difference percussion therapy makes for your muscles.
