How is the fourth generation of Theragun different from the previous one?

The new fourth generation Theragun devices (Theragun PRO, Theragun ELITE and Theragun PRIME) are now Bluetooth-enabled. They are compatible with your smartphone and smartwatch to give you the ultimate personalized and professional experience. These intelligent therapy tools allow for enhanced speed control and create custom preset programs based on how you use them.

The Theragun mini is the most compact Theragun ever. It is completely mobile, light, handy and has three speeds. It even fits in your sports bag or handbag. All fourth generation devices are now quieter than ever - thanks to our new brushless motor with QuietForce technology.

What is the new QuietForce technology?

The brand new, specially developed brushless motor of the new Theragun generation works without the sliding contacts that are otherwise common in electric motors. This reduces wear and increases the longevity of the device enormously. The motor we developed also uses the innovative QuietForce technology. It ensures the pleasantly quiet operating volume of the new Theraguns without sacrificing the power, speed or performance of the devices.

If pain occurs in the kidney region during treatment, the treatment should be stopped immediately and the patient should consult a doctor.
