Product Review: MyoBuddy Massager Pro


I'm really excited to review this product. This is the MyoBuddy Massager! MyoBuddy provided this unit for me for review and I'm very happy to have this in my self-maintenance toolbox!
Update:12/12/2017 and spoiler alert! I like this tool so much I decided to become an affiliate. Affiliate link below!


Upon receipt of the massager the first thing I noticed is it's visual similarity to a car wax buffer. I think the white and blue color looks very clinical and it does remind me of something I'd see in a PT office. The MyoBuddy comes with two different pad covers, one white and one blue. The white pad is to be used on clothes and skin for dry massage. The blue pad is for lotions and oils. I have not yet tried the blue pad so this review is only for the dry massage. The second thing I noticed about this massager when I removed it from the box is just HOW LONG the cord is. This thing is about 12 feet long! Super handy for being able to move around someone's body and not worry about hitting the end. I could see how this would be really useful for a professional to use on a client, and it's nice for getting around couches and obstructions and having plenty of space to use at home.

In addition to personal training and lifting weights I am also an amateur acrobat and I teach an AcroFit class. I am frequently sore and dealing with tired muscles and I have a lot of friends who are also sore and tired. Some of my favorite people walk around feeling a bit beat up. With this in mind, I decided it would be a great idea to bring the MyoBuddy Massager to the gym.

I let one of the other trainers use it just as he was finishing up a pretty intense powerlifting session. He used it on his chest and shoulders to help release tension and just to feel nice as part of his cool down. After that I left it on the desk and and let my clients try it. Everyone who picked it up was impressed with how it felt on their sore muscles. That night was my weekly AcroFit class, and I also brought the massager to class for people to try. The MyoBuddy got a lot of use that night and the thing I heard from people the most often was "OOOOOoooooooooOOoooooHhhhhhhh Thhhiiiiiiiisssssss issssss ssssoooooo GGgggGGggooooooooooooDDD! Everyone who touched it really appreciated how it feels no matter whether you're using the edge or the flat part of the pad. 

The final test was using the MyoBuddy on my massage therapist. I like deep massage and so I get a massage from someone who does Thai on me at least once a month. This gets deep into the muscles like a sports massage but it's very relaxing and invigorating. My massage therapist really enjoyed being on the receiving end of the MyoBuddy as well! It was a nice way to give her some of the same benefits of relaxation and deep invigorating massage she gives me! She loved the percussion and the heat and vibration and so this was perfect. She was curious aboutffects of the percussion and I directed her to the FAQ on the MyoBuddy site where this information was already available.

I believe that it helps to decrease my perception of discomfort after an intense workout. As I type this I'm planning to use it on my forearms and elbows. I love how the percussive bit feels to loosen everything up and then I turn up the high vibration until all of my muscles feel nice and gooey. I give this thing 5 stars. I'm pretty excited about having it for sharing with friends at Acrojams, for my clients to use on themselves and for my own personal use.
