Percussion Massagers and Vibration Therapy Tools
Vibration therapy equipment splits along a line that is easy to miss when everything gets called a massage gun. A percussion gun delivers short, forceful strokes through a small contact head and is aimed by the user. A professional percussion massager such as the Thumper line is built for a therapist working on a client for an hour. A vibrating wrap does neither: it straps on and works passively while the wearer does something else.
MediDepot’s Massage and Vibration Tools collection holds 36 products across seven brands, and those three delivery styles are all represented. The range covers Therabody and iReliev percussion guns, Thumper professional and equine percussion units, Brownmed Intellinetix wearable vibration therapy, Air Relax and Pro Tec handheld tools, a Mettler bench massager, and a full set of interchangeable massage heads.

Seven Brands, Four Ways to Deliver Vibration
The catalog organizes by how the vibration reaches the body.
Consumer and Prosumer Percussion Guns Therabody contributes seven products, led by the TG0003970-1A10 Theragun PRO Plus, which combines percussion with heat, vibration, and LED therapy. The TG0004116-1A10 Theragun Prime Plus is a heated percussive gun supplied with four attachments. The TG0004351-1A10 Theragun Sense adds LCD guided routines across five speeds, and the TG0004352-1A10 Theragun Mini Plus is a compact heated model with three speeds, three heat levels, and Bluetooth. iReliev offers the MA-2020 percussion massage gun and the IR-MVP-500 MVPmini compact percussion system. Pro Tec Athletics supplies the ForceMiniGun2.0w Force Mini Gun 2.0 with a FlexEdge attachment.
Professional Percussion Massagers Thumper accounts for nine listings and takes a different design approach, using a broader multi-head or single-head contact surface rather than a bullet-style tip. The Maxi Pro 1007NA is the professional variable-speed unit, the J501 Lithium8 is a five-speed cordless professional massager, and the K501 Lithium2 and M501 Lithium1 are cordless rechargeable models. The G501NA Verve is a single-head variable-speed unit, the E501NA Thumper Sport is the handheld model, and the D401NA Mini Pro is a three-speed handheld professional massager. The 1007ENA Equine Pro serves equine practitioners, and the J300 lithium replacement battery fits the Lithium2 and Lithium8 units.
Wearable and Passive Vibration Brownmed’s Intellinetix line covers five products that apply vibration without being held. The 07238 Headache Therapy Band targets headache relief, the 07236 Therapy Eye Mask addresses headache and sinus symptoms, the 07240 Universal Therapy Wrap is a general wearable wrap, the 07250 Heated Hub combines heat with vibration, and the Intellinetix Therapy Gloves apply vibration to the hands. iReliev’s MA-2000 Relaxable Eye Massager with heat and Therabody’s SG0004133-1A10 SmartGoggles second generation, which pairs heat and vibration with a biometric sensor, cover the same wearable-eye category.
Bench, Handheld, and Specialty Tools The Mettler ME 610 Digital Turbo Massager is a bench-style unit with speed adjustable from 15 to 60 cycles per second. The iReliev MA-4050 Shiatsu Neck and Back Massager covers the seated shiatsu format. Air Relax’s HM-1 Hammerz is a handheld vibration massager supplied with 15 interchangeable heads at 120 V. Therabody’s TB03285-01 TheraCup is a digital cupping device combining suction, heat, and vibration across three cup sizes. The iReliev IR-IAM-330-P is a leather-wrapped cork stretching and massage roller.
Attachments and Accessories Nine products cover heads and add-ons. iReliev supplies the IR-MVP-540 MVPmini HeatTip, the IR-MVP-505 MVPmini DynamicDuo set with edge and bullet heads, the IR-MVP-2005 MVP+ Dynamic Duo with the same pairing, the IR-MVP-2040 MVP+ HeatTip, the IR-MVP-2010 MVP+ ShocDuo tool head, the IR-MVP-2020 MVP+ GlidePro roller, and the IR-MVP-2050 MVP+ PowerUp charging station. Therabody’s TG0003982-9A10 Theragun Cold Plus attachment offers three temperature levels and is sold without a device.

Working Out Which Tool Fits the Job
Choosing here comes down to who is holding the tool, for how long, and what part of the body is being treated.
- Therapist use versus self use. A therapist working through a full session benefits from the broader contact surface and sustained-use design of the Thumper professional units. Someone treating their own legs after a run is better served by a percussion gun.
- Corded or cordless. Cordless models such as the Thumper Lithium1, Lithium2, and Lithium8 and the entire Theragun range offer freedom of movement. Corded units avoid battery management in a busy clinic. The J300 replacement battery is available for the Thumper lithium models.
- Heat as part of the treatment. The Theragun PRO Plus, Prime Plus, and Mini Plus include heat, and the iReliev HeatTip attachments add it to the MVP and MVPmini. The Theragun Cold Plus attachment goes the other direction with three temperature levels.
- Hands-free requirement. Brownmed Intellinetix wraps, bands, gloves, and eye masks apply vibration passively, which suits someone who needs relief while working or resting rather than during a dedicated session.
- Head and face applications. The Intellinetix Headache Therapy Band and Therapy Eye Mask, the iReliev MA-2000 eye massager, and the Therabody SmartGoggles all address the head and eye region, where a percussion gun is not appropriate.
- Attachment compatibility. iReliev heads are split between MVPmini and MVP+ platforms and are not interchangeable across them. Check which system a head is listed for before ordering.
- Speed range. The Mettler ME 610 offers adjustment from 15 to 60 cycles per second, giving fine control for a bench unit. Handheld guns list speed settings rather than a cycle range, so compare within format rather than across formats.
- Specialty applications. The Thumper Equine Pro is built for equine work, and the TheraCup addresses cupping rather than percussion. Neither substitutes for a general-purpose massager.

Buyers should confirm speed settings, stall force where listed, battery runtime, attachment compatibility, and voltage requirements directly on each product page before ordering. MediDepot does not make claims about the effectiveness of percussion or vibration therapy for any specific condition. These tools should be used according to their labeled instructions and kept away from bone, joints, open wounds, and areas of acute injury unless a clinician has advised otherwise. Anyone with a circulatory condition, a recent injury, an implanted device, or who is pregnant should consult a clinician before using percussion or vibration equipment.
Building a Practical Kit
Most buyers end up with more than one tool, because no single device covers every area or every use case.
- Pair a main unit with a compact one. A full size gun for large muscle groups and a mini for travel, shoulders, and hands covers most situations without duplication.
- Buy heads with the device, not later. Edge, bullet, and roller heads change what a gun can do, and the DynamicDuo sets bundle the two most-used shapes.
- Match battery strategy to your schedule. Clinics running back-to-back appointments should plan for a charging station such as the MVP+ PowerUp or a spare battery like the Thumper J300.
- Stock a hands-free option for headache and eye complaints. These are common presentations where a percussion gun is the wrong tool entirely.
- Plan cleaning between clients. Heads contact skin directly, so build wipe-down into turnover time and consider spare heads for high-volume days.
- Keep specialty devices scoped. The TheraCup and the Equine Pro address specific practices, and buying them without that practice in place leaves them unused.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a percussion gun and a professional percussion massager?
Percussion guns such as the Theragun range and the iReliev MVP series drive a small interchangeable head at high speed, letting the user target a specific point. Thumper professional massagers use a broader contact surface across multiple heads, designed for a therapist covering large areas over a sustained session. The two are built around different working patterns rather than being higher and lower versions of the same thing.
Are iReliev MVPmini and MVP+ attachments interchangeable?
No. The heads in this collection are listed separately by platform. The IR-MVP-540 HeatTip and IR-MVP-505 DynamicDuo are MVPmini heads, while the IR-MVP-2040 HeatTip, IR-MVP-2005 Dynamic Duo, IR-MVP-2010 ShocDuo, and IR-MVP-2020 GlidePro are MVP+ heads. Confirm the platform listed on the attachment page against the device you own before ordering.
Which products work without holding them?
The Brownmed Intellinetix line is designed for hands-free use: the 07238 Headache Therapy Band, 07236 Therapy Eye Mask, 07240 Universal Therapy Wrap, 07250 Heated Hub, and Therapy Gloves all attach to the body. The iReliev MA-2000 eye massager, Therabody SmartGoggles, and MA-4050 Shiatsu Neck and Back Massager also operate without being held in position.
What does the heat function add on a percussion massager?
Heated models such as the Theragun PRO Plus, Prime Plus, and Mini Plus and the iReliev HeatTip attachments warm the contact head during use, combining thermal application with percussion in a single pass. The Theragun Cold Plus attachment provides the opposite, offering three temperature levels for cold application. Whether heat or cold is appropriate depends on the situation and, for an injury, on clinical advice.
Should I choose a corded or cordless unit for clinic use?
Cordless models including the Thumper Lithium1, Lithium2, and Lithium8 and the Theragun range move freely around a table, which suits bodywork. Corded units such as the Air Relax HM-1 and the Mettler ME 610 bench massager avoid runtime limits entirely. Clinics running long days often keep a corded unit as the primary tool and a cordless one for mobility, or plan for spare batteries.
Is the Thumper Equine Pro usable on people?
The 1007ENA Equine Pro is listed as a professional equine percussion massager, meaning it is built and specified for equine practice. Practitioners treating people should select from the human-use models in the range such as the Maxi Pro 1007NA, Lithium8 J501, or Thumper Sport E501NA rather than adapting the equine unit.
