Hypervolt Go 2 - Featuring Quiet Glide Technology - Handheld Percussion Massage Gun | 3 Speeds, 2 Interchangeable Heads | Helps Relieve Sore Muscles and Stiffness (Hypervolt Go 2 White)

Product Information

Many massage guns will come with specific instructions about what attachments to use on what muscles. Make sure to read them when you’re in doubt. The Theragun Mini 2.0 won almost every category associated with portability. Its triangular design is extremely compact and lightweight, and with three speed settings and three interchangeable heads, you can give yourself a thorough, soothing massage wherever you happen to be. However, while most reviewers find the max PPM to be plenty effective, it’s not the most powerful portable massager out there.

The app itself isn’t very user-friendly — I struggled to find a routine, and as the Hypervolt Go 2 couldn’t connect to the app via Bluetooth, there’s no indication of force, or what speed you should be using the gun at — the addition of both would be great for beginners. I also found a lot of the routines were pretty long, my go-to lower-body sequence took 24 minutes, which is as long as my strength workout on some days. That said, I liked the in-app timer and the video demonstration with a voice-over that gave me instructions and tips. I also liked seeing a real person using the gun, rather than a diagram. Hyperice Hypervolt Go 2 review: VerdictAvailable colors: White | Speed Settings: 2,200 / 2,750 / 3,200 PPMs | Dimensions: 5.5 by 5.5 by 2 inches Shape & Design To put these massage guns to the test, we hit the Shape testing lab to learn the ins and outs of each product. With a physical therapist’s guidance, we tried the guns on each muscle group, noting things like the ease of use, pressure, and versatility of each model.

Unlike the Go 2, the latest version of the Theragun Mini actually connects to a smartphone app via Bluetooth. The Therabody app allows you to access a library of wellness routines and helps to guide your massage with smart technology. According to reviewers, “it is useful for beginners” because it offers “automated guidance and vibration settings for various uses.” Color Options As we just mentioned, it’s the most powerful mini massage gun we’ve tested to date. So why not recommend it? For starters, it’s obnoxiously loud. Cochrane, D. J., et al. (2020). An exploratory study of vibration therapy on muscle function in patients with peripheral artery disease [Abstract]. Operating the Hypervolt GO 2 is easy-peasy. You long-press the one button, wait for the LED band to turn on, press the same button once more – no need to hold it – and the gun starts vibrating. Press it once more, and the vibration frequency increases slightly; pressing it once more will make the motor go the fastest it can.It’s easy enough to simply use the Hypervolt Go as you wish, to target specific areas of tension or ache, but the app also helps users to look for routines to manage injuries, warm up muscles or cool down after exercise. Hyperice includes two separate shapes of head tips in the box with the Hypervolt Go. The attachments are designed for different areas, but together they help cover any soreness you might feel on your body. Switching between the two head attachments couldn’t be easier — all you have to do is twist the head and pull it out of the Hypervolt. Once upon a time, you had to whip out a foam roller or book a massage appointment to take your workout recovery to the next level. No more. Now, massage guns make it easy to recuperate from your workout with limited effort on your part. (Literally, you can just lie on the couch while you use one of these babies.) These vibrating devices have been shown to help manage delayed onset muscle soreness (aka DOMS) and improve range of motion. And while there are a plethora of options on the market, Team Shape decided to put leading brands Hyperice and Renpho head to head to discover the best model on the market. The Hyperice mission is to help everyone on Earth move, live, and be better. They do this by creating high-tech recovery products to relieve muscle tension and restore your body and mind to their best versions. The company acquired its name from its very first product—a portable ice compression device designed for professional athletes to recover faster and stronger. Nowadays some of their most popular products are their massage guns.

As such, the Hypervolt may be worth considering for those with stiff muscles and a budget that suits the cost of Hypervolt products. However, overall there is limited evidence for its effectiveness. What is the difference between Hypervolt and Theragun? Maximum stall force is a piece of jargon you need to understand before using a massage gun. “Stall Force is the force that is required for the massage gun to stop moving,” explains Gavin Hamer, DPT, National Director of Education for FYZICAL Therapy & Balance Centers. In other words, it’s the amount of pressure your muscles will feel when you turn on the gun and hold it against your skin. We measured the sound with the attachments fixed properly and we got 45 to about 54-55 dB. Hypervolt Go noise measurement (around 55dB at top speed). When fully charged, the flashing stops and the indicator turns solid green. Is the juice enough? Yes, the device can last for several days before you may need to charge it again.It’s also important to ensure that the force you use to apply the massage fun to your muscle is reasonably light, making some smaller stall force massage gun models a great fit,” says Hamer.
