Mine was right in the joint. No burning. Only hurt to use it. Had it for months, maybe a year. Finally healed. Overuse, abuse.

I just bought this for, you name it-neck, shoulder, knee, low back. Right now, knock wood, my forearms are fine.
This thing has already improved my neck/shoulder by 60%. And Ive had a bad knee (no cartilage on the knee cap) for ages. Sometimes its real bad and other times it's tolerable. For 2-3 weeks lately it was real bad, I used this massager and long story short, the pain is quickly back to being tolerable. I'm a big fan after a couple days of ownership and other previous days of using someone else's

Why "gun" ? better consumer impact than "jackhammer"?

I was suffering really bad with tennis elbow in the summer. I got hold of these things after seeing them on Joe Rogan podcast. They worked really well and I have been free of pain for a good few months now.
Starting to get a few slight pains after a good few weeks of rain, so I reckon I will get back on it over Chrimbo.
I was sceptical but they really work.

How are they used?
I bought the ArmAid forearm machine a while back, and use it for flare ups.
I've been having a little inflammation after sledging out some concrete wall sections for my neighbor.
Next time, I'm going to bring my mini, and hang the hammer like a wrecking ball.
They're only 16" high, in the old barn turned shop.
He's got super street-cred as a pnw logger , having moss growing on his shop floor ( from before he enclosed the sides). LoL.

Sean, I forgot that bit, the exercise is called the Tyler twist.
There are quite a few vids on YouTube, some into more detail than others.
This one explains a bit. It is important that you get the hand positioning correct to feel the max eccentric contraction.

Oh, and the colours are different resistance. I bought the green (7 kg resistance) first and it was agony. So I bought the colour down, red. (4.5kg resistance.)
I persevered through the pain and by the time the red arrived... it was worthless, or rather it didn’t provide enough resistance. So I cracked on with the green and as you get stronger the pain decreases. Theoretically I should have gone up to the next colour but didn’t bother as I had no more pain.

They recently changed the name to Therabody, fwiw.
Sean, I too occasionally use a hammer on tight spots, after seeing it on chiropractic Youtube vids.
Sean and gary, I'm a big fan of the theracane but prefer the Back Buddy Jr, it is the same idea but much stiffer/less bendy.
Wow, good info, Rich
