That’s right, this foam roller can connect to your phone and the Therabody app, which can provide you with built-in routines, guidance, and customization options to enhance your rolling experience. The range is very wide, and that’s amazing. The roller starts at 1200rpm, but at the top end, it can achieve an incredible 3400 verified rpm, making it one of the most powerful non-wired devices out there. Charging the roller takes about three hours according to the Therabody manual, but we’ve managed to charge ours in just over two hours. It would be great to have USB-C here. The connectivity and Therabody app have been a major selling point for us, with the built-in routines being awesome. The app allows you to roll on those things repetitively, using the same settings, for an optimal pre and post-workout routine. This means it can easily be stored in a bag, taken on a plane, and is highly portable. So, whether you’re on-the-go or just want to use it at home, the Wave Solo is a great option.

The combination of a foam roller with smart features is a winning combination, making this device more than just a gadget. It is a powerful tool that does what it says. The Wave Solo is a high-quality device with a great texture and shape that makes it easy to use and highly portable. There is also the laziness method for using the Wave Roller. You can position your point of pain on the roller and then adjust the vibration and let it do all the work and not ‘roll’ at all. I found that technique especially useful on my ITB where my point of pain was localised at the top of the tendon. When it comes to noise, the Wave Solo is a pretty quiet device, especially compared to some of its competitors like the Hyperice Hypersphere. I spent about a week first playing with Duo on its own, using it either as a way to start my morning or to cool down at night (or both, when I had the energy for it). Therabody’s app turned out to be key to an effective session, as I expect it would be for anyone who isn’t a physical therapist or otherwise have multiple structured recovery routines memorized. Therabody’s app turned out to be key to an effective session.While it may not be as intensive as the Wave Roller or as versatile as the Wave Duo, it is still as good as the other two. The Wave Duo definitely a nice addition to a soft-foam roller, although this one is more aggressive due to the shape and firm texture. So, whether you’re using it at home or on-the-go, the Wave Solo is a great option for anyone looking for a top-notch, effective massage therapy device. The Theragun Wave Rollers lasts for 3 hours on one charge and it can be charged with the included wired charger, or via a wireless charger (sold separately). As mentioned, the wireless charging feature makes it the first of its vibrating foam roller category with this capability. Wireless charging makes it so much more convenient to re-charge a high use device like this, and the battery life of 3 hours also is higher than the top competitors.

We know from working with massage guns that vibration therapy helps speed up muscle recovery by breaking up fascia, enhancing mobility, increasing blood flow, getting more oxygen to tissues, facilitating lymphatic drainage, and more. Vibrations help you to roll out the tensionand speed up the recovery process. And the textured silicone they’re each wrapped in feels nice against the skin — soft enough to cushion your movements but solid enough not to feel mushy and absorb all the vibration. That coating also makes them compatible with body oils; you can just wipe it off after, no fuss. I tried this with Therabody’s TheraOne CBD oil and it added a nice warming sensation to the experience. I love cannabis topicals and this is no exception.All in all, we think the pricing and warranty are both solid and make for a great investment in your overall wellness. Dynamic movement involves anchoring a part of your body and then moving the adjacent joint to adjust tension
