Using The Theragun PRO Plus Device’s Biometric Sensor
Access Routines with Biometric Sensor in the Therabody App
Use the Therabody app to access a catalog of breathing routines that utilize a
biometric sensor to measure and display your heart rate. Routines that connect
to the biometric sensor are labeled with the heart rate icon.
To use the device’s biometric sensor, hold the device in the ”double-grip”
position while keeping the tip of your pointer (index) finger placed on the
biometric sensor. Cover the entire sensor with the tip of your finger.
Do not squeeze or firmly press the biometric sensor, as this may lead to inaccurate readings. Support the device’s weight with your free hand or rest the device against your body to reduce pressure on the biometric sensor.
Preset Guided Breathing Routine
The Theragun PRO Plus device provides a preset science-backed guided breathing
routine to help you relax.
On the main menu, press the down button to toggle through preset options,
landing on the Breathing preset.
Hold the device in the ”double-grip” position while keeping the tip of your
pointer (index) finger placed on the biometric sensor. The device will vibrate
at a specific rate to guide you through a calming inhaling and exhaling
routine.
During this routine, the Theragun PRO Plus device measures your heart rate.
Your lowest (minimum) heart rate will be displayed following the treatment as
feedback on your level of relaxation during the treatment. The goal is to
lower your heart rate.
Scanning Your Heart Rate and Displaying on Device
Determine your current heart rate with the tap of your finger. Turn the device
on and double tap the biometric sensor with one finger. Find a comfortable
position where the tip of your pointer (index) finger completely covers the
biometric sensor. Minimize movement until your current heart rate is
displayed on the screen—approximately 15-30 seconds. Minimize movement and do
not squeeze or firmly press the biometric sensor, as this may lead to
inaccurate readings.
Your biometric information will not be accessible by or otherwise used by
Therabody or its affiliates unless you expressly opt-in to share this data
with us via the Therabody App, and will only be used in accordance with
Therabody’s Privacy Policy.

*Only connect attachments that are included with the Theragun PRO Plus device or the cold attachment that is sold separately. Attachments from other
Theragun devices are not compatible with your Theragun PRO Plus device.
Warning: Do not place your finger between the attachment and the end of thearm, as this may cause pinching or injury.
Using the Attachments
The Theragun PRO Plus device has eight high-quality attachments designed for a
more personalized treatment. The five percussive attachments, the Dampener,
Standard Ball, Thumb, Micro-point, and Wedge, and the Vibration, Heat, and
Cold attachments are comfortable and hygienic without absorbing sweat,
lotion, or oils.
Cold attachment sold separately
Dampener – For tender or sensitive areas and overall use.
Use the Dampener attachment for a firm yet softer, soothing full-body massage.
The Dampener attachment is specifically designed for general use and a low-
impact treatment around tender, sensitive or bony areas. Do not directly
contact bones (i.e., spine, knee cap) using this device. Its wide base
maximizes surface area for greater, more efficient contact with the body.
Standard Ball – For large and small muscle groups
Use the Standard Ball attachment for a full-body massage. The Standard Ball
attachment is specifically designed for overall use on both large and small
muscle groups. With a smaller shape and higher impact level than the Dampener,
it is a firmer option for overall use and is your go-to attachment for
tension.
Thumb – For trigger points and the lower back.
Relieve pain with the high pressure point Thumb attachment.
Specifically designed to mimic a human thumb, use this attachment for point
therapy on the lower back. Use the Thumb anywhere you may have otherwise used
your thumb for pain relief.
Vibration – For joints and and boney areas
Relieve joint pain and treat sensitive areas. Use the Vibration attachment to
target joint pain and treat boney areas. The vibration attachment increases
circulation to treat sensitive areas.
Heat – For muscles
Loosen up stiff muscles and accelerate recovery. Use the Heat attachment to
loosen up stiff muscles before a workout, or after a workout to accelerate
muscle recovery.
Cold (Sold separately) – For joints and muscles
Reduce inflammation, pain, and swelling. Use the Cold attachment to relieve
swelling and reduce inflammation.
Micro-point – For increased stimulation.
Increase circulation with the Micro-point attachment. The Micro- point
attachment delivers a highly targeted treatment and increases stimulation and
circulation to each treatment area.
Wedge – For shoulder blades and IT bands.
Warm up muscles and improve flexibility with the Wedge attachment. Uniquely
designed for use on shoulder blades and IT bands, the Wedge attachment is used
for “scraping” and “flushing” motions, mirroring techniques commonly used in
sports massages.
