We’ve all heard that active recovery is beneficial to your workout regime. Far too often, people skip post-workout recovery or stretching because they don’t understand where to begin or what recovery can do for their bodies. Therabody, the global pioneer in wellness technology and creator of the world’s first percussive therapy device, Theragun, believes that recovery is an essential component of every wellness routine.
The idea of recovery is frequently associated with athletes and weekend warriors who train hard and need days off to allow their muscles to repair and rebuild. In reality, we all experience varying levels of stress, strain, and tension that manifest physically in the body, causing achy muscles, headaches, and so much more. Everything around us, from our lifestyle choices, career demands, relationships, and daily scheduling takes a toll on the mind and body.
Optimal recovery starts with prioritizing sleep, nutrition, movement and hydration; when you apply technologies that enhance the body’s natural ability to achieve health and well-being, you help your body to perform better, recover faster, and manage pain. Recovery isn’t only for professional athletes; it’s for everybody. Therabody’s percussive therapy devices can integrate into your daily life to help you reap the benefits of recovery on a daily basis.
THE BENEFITS OF RECOVERY WITH PERCUSSIVE THERAPY
Therabody aims to empower people around the world to live healthier lives through a deeper understanding of their bodies and minds. Its devices create pressure that reaches deep into the muscles to increase blood flow and decrease tension.
Theragun uses a scientifically calibrated combination of amplitude, frequency, and torque that works the muscles and maximizes the therapeutic effects each time you use the device. While offering a deep, effective treatment, the constant stimulation also distracts the brain, alleviating any pain and making the process far more comfortable than other forms of manual recovery. So, whether you’ve been sitting at a desk all day, lifting heavy items, or working out everyday, you’ll be able to find quick, soothing relief. Through extensive research, numerous benefits of the Theragun have been identified, including:
- Decreased muscle soreness and stiffness
- Increased blood flow
- Increased range of motion
- Improved stretching and flexibility
- Improved sleep
- Accelerated recovery
No matter your occupation or lifestyle, everyone can work toward achieving optimal wellness. That’s why whether you’re feeling the effects of a morning spin class, a recent gym session, or a long day at work, it’s essential to give your body the chance to recover.

RECOVERING WITH THERAGUN
How you incorporate the Theragun into your daily routines will differ depending on the activity from which you are recovering. That’s why Therabody has developed a library of protocols available in the Therabody App that will aid warm-up and recovery, designed to target specific muscle groups based on your activity level. The app offers a personalized experience that delivers guided wellness routines suited to each person’s activities, behaviors, and preferences, and learns from users’ real-time activity and behaviors to build routines specific to their needs. Each routine in the app was personally created by Dr. Jason and our team of experts, offering users the experience of a “private appointment” with Dr. Jason when it’s most convenient for them.
If you’re an avid gym goer, Theragun can help you maximize your workout and soothe your fatigued muscles after an intense session. Before you hit the gym, sweep the device over parts of your body – hamstrings, hip flexors, glutes, and chest are suggested – for 15-30 seconds per muscle. When you have completed a workout, focus on sore areas – like the lats, low back, calves, and quads – for 60+ seconds each.

Similarly, Theragun can help you prepare for or decompress from a long day of work, where you might be sitting, hunched over a desk. Prepare your body by running the device over your feet, low back, glutes, and traps for 15-30 seconds each. At the end of the day, find relief by repeating the movements for about 60+ seconds per area.
Of course, each individual will have different areas of soreness, so pay attention to your body’s needs. Target other areas that are feeling sore, and focus on parts that need a little more TLC.
REIMAGINING THE SPA EXPERIENCE
With all the benefits the Theragun offers, Therabody wants to make its unique percussive therapy systems more widely available. So, they’re encouraging spas to reimagine what they can be with the addition of Therabody products. With Therabody’s solutions, spas can offer curated massage treatments or highly effective value-adds that the client can enhance withTheraOne, Therabody’s line of USDA Certified Organic CBD products.
Whether you have experienced the benefits of percussive therapy through a visit to a spa or apply this method to your muscles at home, Theragun ican help improve recovery and overall wellness.
