What Is Hyperice?

The go-to massage brand for elite athletes and fitness fanatics in more than 60 countries, Hyperice’s cutting-edge sports medicine and orthopedic devices aid in workout recovery. The brand is well known for its Hyperice massage gun, the Hypervolt, which comes in three different models, each offering unique features to help anyone combat the impact of daily life.

How Does Hyperice Work?

Hyperice massage guns use percussive massage – small, rapid, repetitive applications of pressure. These fast taps help release knots and bring blood flow to the area, allowing your muscles to relax.

Customer Review: “Used for long distance running recovery. I tried a few before I eventually gave the Hypervolt 2 Pro a go and all I can say is I wish I got it sooner. By far the best I’ve ever used. I didn’t think I would use the extra power settings but I’m glad I chose the Pro model as sometimes I just need to tackle a problem area with a bit more force. 10/10 rating for me personally.”

"The Hyperice Venom Go is the revolutionary heat + vibration wearable with unmatched versatility and customization! Don’t be fooled by its small size and lightweight design - this little gadget is a powerhouse."
