Why Stall Force Matters

Through our testing of the Therabody lineup, we found that stall force is the critical differentiator. The Prime (30lbs) is sufficient for surface-level massage, but for deep knots, the Pro (60lbs) is required to prevent the motor from stopping under pressure.

Final Verdict

If budget allows, the Theragun Pro is the undisputed king. For most home users, the Elite offers the best balance of power and noise reduction.
