Scouted: Hate Foam Rolling? Theragun Is For You (And Everyone Else)
Runners, CrossFitters, Yogis and Cyclists, unite! Well, kind of — or, at least have the opportunity to bond over a Theragun (yes, that sleek handheld recovery device you’re seeing all over social media — especially in the hands of fitness trainers).
As someone who is OK with stretching but very vocally hates foam rolling, I discovered Theragun as a relief while marathon training, and then it stuck with me as I recovered from an injury that promptly ended said marathon training.
Despite a variety of (trendy and true) popular workouts requiring different equipment, space and time —there’s one thing most athletes can agree upon: taking care of muscles (ahem, the recovery phase) is a must. But heck, even if you aren’t training for the Olympics (read: you’re sore from sitting at a desk all day), the motor, attachments, speeds and adjustable arms of the Theragun are designed to target treatment for every muscle — catering to area-specific relief for every body’s needs.
