TechCrunch’s review finds that Therabody’s $299 Theragun Sense (2nd Gen) is a capable, user-friendly massage gun for everyday aches, tension and relaxation rather than intensive deep-tissue recovery. Its main appeal is reducing the uncertainty around massage-gun use through on-device guided routines, making it potentially useful for people seeking simple, regular recovery support.

The device offers five speed settings, a relatively quiet motor, an LCD display and Bluetooth syncing with the Therabody app, which provides additional routines and AI-led recommendations. It includes a USB-C cable, travel pouch and two attachments; a softer attachment costs $35 extra. The reviewer particularly valued the six-minute Sleep routine, but notes that users wanting deeper treatment may prefer Therabody’s PRO or Prime models.
