TheraFace Mask for $650: The TheraFace Mask is a cordless, hands-free light therapy device that uses three wavelengths (red, infrared and blue) to meet different skin care needs. To stand out from its competitors, the TheraFace mask includes a built-in vibration therapy mode that massages pressure points around the eyes, brow line, and scalp for added stress relief. It comes with removable eye shields and a sleek display, making it easy to store on your nightstand.

JetBoots Prime for $550: Compared to the JetBoots Pro Plus, the JetBoots Prime keeps it simple: you get four pressure levels (25, 50, 75 and 100 mmHg) and three durations (20, 40 or 60 minutes), all adjustable throughout your session via an integrated control panel. They are cordless with a battery life of 180 minutes and can even be used while charging. Plus, they fold into the included drawstring bag, making them portable and easy to store.

WaveRoller for $180: Foam rollers are great for improving range of motion, increasing blood flow, and reducing muscle tension. You can buy a decent foam roller for a lot less, but the WaveRoller offers Therabody app integration for a personalized experience and five vibration frequencies. Designed for full-body use, it works best for warm-ups and post-workout cool-downs.

TheraFace Pro for $420: The TheraFace Pro includes six removable magnetic heads for cleansing, microcurrent, percussion massage and LED light therapy: blue light for acne, red light and infrared for anti-aging. Former reviewer Haley Sprankle tested the facial device and said her skin was softer and brighter, but she also noted that no clinical studies prove that microcurrent is an effective facial treatment.

Theragun Mini (3rd generation) for $220: I recommend the Mini if ​​you’re new to percussion therapy or need something compact for traveling. It’s the smallest and lightest Theragun, with three accessories (standard ball, shock absorber, and thumb) and a soft zippered case that fits in a tote, gym bag, or carry-on bag.

Theragun Sense for $300: The Theragun Sense is slightly smaller (and lighter) than the Pro Plus, and it’s also incredibly quiet. Some settings are nearly silent, allowing for a discreet cool down session at any time of day without having to worry about disturbing your roommates. It also has the same LCD screen and breathing features as the Pro Plus. The main difference here is that it is compatible with fewer accessories, but four heads are still more than enough for the active individual.

Theragun Pro (5th generation) for $530: Therabody still sells a few older generations directly as well as refurbished models. You can find even older models for sale on Amazon. Although we haven’t tried them all, we think it depends on the price. Anything older than the 2019 or 2020 versions may not be worth it unless the price is incredibly low. This Pro was released in 2022, so it’s still a good deep tissue massager. If you can find it on sale and don’t need all the latest updates, you should be happy with this one over the Pro Plus.
