We pride ourselves on our ability to sniff out the best gift ideas. Here in Gift of the Day, we’re sharing picks in partnership with some of our favorite brands — all of which have been vetted by our editors.
We’ve been writing about the Theragun since 2018, when we first spied professional athletes using the percussive massage-therapy device (most notably Kyrie Irving, who used it during an NBA Finals game in 2017). It’s since popped up time and time again – making its way onto our list of the very best massage guns, and the best recovery tools for athletes.
What makes the Theragun distinct from other massage guns (and why our fitness writer Jeremy Rellosa thinks they are so great) is its triangle-shaped grip, which allows you to point the head at different angles, rather than being limited by a single handle. The Theragun Relief in particular, has three different speed settings. Rellosa calls it “a powerful tool that gets rid of my tightest knots,” so whether your dad’s a golfer, or if he just likes to play a little pick-up basketball, it’ll help him to relieve any post-match tightness and sore spots.
