Theragun PRO vs PRO Plus

In this Theragun PRO vs PRO Plus review, we will compare the two high-end models of the fifth and sixth generation of Dallas, Texas-based Therabody.

Trusted by professional athletes and therapists around the world, the Theragun PRO is one of the best massage guns on the market. The Theragun PRO Plus even goes beyond percussive therapy, combining multiple therapy types into a single device. So which one is the right fit for your needs?

This side-by-side comparison will help you find out.

Comparison: Theragun PRO vs PRO Plus

Amplitude

Created with percussive therapy in mind, the Theragun PRO and PRO Plus boast an amplitude of 16 mm. Few devices on the market offer a comparable deep tissue treatment, making both models a great choice to target deep-seated muscle soreness.

Force

The motor inside the Theragun PRO only reaches its limits at around 60 lb of resistance, helping explain its popularity among professional athletes. We will add the stall force of the PRO Plus as soon as the results are in, expecting it to be similar to its competitor.

Frequency & Speed Levels

Starting at 1,750 percussions per minute (ppm) each, the Theragun PRO and PRO Plus also share their upper limit of 2,400 ppm. Five different speed settings are available in total, allowing you to adjust the frequency to your liking.

Connectivity

Therabody‘s handheld massagers, including the Theragun PRO and PRO Plus, can be connected to your smartphone via Bluetooth. Within the Therabody app, you will find guided, step-by-step warm-up and recovery routines. The PRO Plus also includes breath work routines.

Battery

The Theragun PRO and PRO Plus both have a battery life of up to 2.5 hours, although that number may drop for the PRO Plus depending on the attachment used. Either way, with each treatment not taking more than a few minutes, both models should last for several days on a single charge.

Noise

Operating at around 60 decibels (dB) on the highest setting, the Theragun PRO won’t disturb the person sitting next to you in the locker room. Once again, we will add the noise level of the PRO Plus as soon as the results are in, expecting it to be similar to its competitor.

Attachments & Accessories

With six interchangeable massage heads, the Theragun PRO already offers plenty of possibilities to customize the massage experience to your exact needs and the muscle group you are about to treat next. The Theragun PRO Plus comes with five tips, and two special attachments.

• Dampener: Soothes aches and pains in tender or sensitive areas
• Standard Ball: Reduces tension with an all-over body massage
• Thumb: Eases lower back, trigger points, and painful knots
• Wedge: For shoulder blades, IT bands, scraping, and flushing
• Micro-Point: Increases circulation and stimulates recovery
• Supersoft (PRO only): For joints, bones, or ultra-sensitive areas
• Heat therapy attachment (PRO Plus only)
• Vibration therapy attachment (PRO Plus only)

Both models ship with a travel pouch for convenient storage and safe transport.

Weight & Dimensions

In the final round of this Theragun PRO vs PRO Plus comparison, we will have a quick look at the weight and dimensions of the two devices. At 2.8 lb (1.25 kg), the Theragun PRO is slightly less heavy. At the same time, it also takes up a bit more space in your gym bag.

Conclusion: Theragun PRO vs PRO Plus

Combining a high amplitude with a high stall force, the Theragun PRO is one of the best massage guns on the market. Just like its successor, it can be easily customized thanks to its numerous speed settings, massage heads, and routines available via the app.

Unlike the fifth generation model focussed on percussive therapy, the new Theragun PRO Plus merges vibrational, heat, cold, breath work, infrared LED light, and percussive therapy – allowing athletes and medical professionals to leverage multiple therapy types, using only a single device.
