Percussive therapy enhances the repair of the muscle fibers through short-duration pulses deep into the tissues of your body. These percussions encourage blood flow to those areas, thereby improving range of motion, speeding up recovery, and relieving chronic and everyday pain. Our mission was to create a hand- held solution to this medical-grade therapy, thereby bringing the most sophisticated healing modality to everyone on planet earth.
Dr. Jason S. Wersland, D.C., is a chiropractor and the founder/inventor of Theragun. After being in a motorcycle accident that caused a disc herniation, resulting in intense pain and eventual atrophy, he recognized an extraordinary need for an effective home or portable treatment device for patients to use as they needed.
His philosophy behind Theragun came from several perspectives. As an athlete, he recognized athletes' unique need to be involved in their own muscle recovery. As a chiropractor, he wanted the best product for both ease of use and effectiveness. As a practitioner, he wanted a less expensive, more efficient, and more accessible product than what was available on the market. To solve this problem, Dr. Jason spent 8 years developing the Theragun. With its uniquely calibrated frequency, amplitude, and torque, the Theragun was engineered to effectively treat sore lactic-acid-filled muscles and other muscle-related conditions. Additionally, it allows the activation of muscles and joints to achieve a broader range of motion.
