Product Summary
When it comes to pain relief, muscle recovery, and injury prevention, you want (and need) to feel like you’re in the hands of a professional. And, with the Bob and Brad C2 Deep Tissue Massage gun, you are!
Developed by well-known physical therapists Bob Schrupp and Brad Heineck, the C2 effectively works to get rid of lactic acid build-up, relieve muscle spasms and tightness, and improve recovery. Equipped with five speeds and five interchangeable head attachments, the C2 yields an impressive max speed of 3,200 PPM. The single-button operation is user-friendly.
Measuring 6.8 inches by 5.1 inches by 4 inches, the Bob and Brad C2 Deep Tissue Massage Gun is slightly bigger than most minis. However, it’s lightweight (1.5 pounds) and comes in a compact carrying case making it a great travel companion. What’s more, it charges with a USB-C charger, which you probably have several of lying around already (convenient, right?).
This massage gun boasts 35 pounds of stall force, which the manufacturer claims is best suited for professional athletes. In reality, a 35-pound stall force is just okay and probably better suited for your average gym goer.
And with only an 8-millimeter amplitude, professional athletes likely will not get the intensive deep-muscle penetration they are looking for in the C2. However, the C2 does have an aggressive PPM. Even at the lowest setting, it runs at 2,000 PPM, which is rather fast.
