This week on Test Dummy, Jess takes the Theragun G3PRO for a spin. The percussive therapy device claims to improve muscle strength, flexibility and performance—but does it deliver? Teaming up with Associate Editor Claire Maldarelli—a seasoned marathon runner in training season—Jess digs into peer-reviewed research and speaks with experts to find the truth. Does the Theragun actually help muscles recover, or are Jess and Claire just experiencing the placebo effect? (This weird, wild, and wondrous video is a part of YouTube’s #stayhome and #learn #withme initiative.)

Can you someone please do a tutorial on this story? The instructions are a bit confusing.

I bought the G3Pro about 3 weeks ago. This massage gun has almost completely healed my plantar fasciitis. It was getting to the point where i could barley walk. No placebo effect for me. Worth every penny.

The title is insensitive. REPORTED!
The word, Test Dummy should be replaced with Test object. Dummy is derived from the word Dumb, which means, “The inability to speak.” (Deaf, Dumb, and Blind)

‘Don’t minimize language, People or their ABILITIES! Popular science!!!’ SHAMEFUL!
