My friend had a $600 Theragun that felt awesome. Online it looks like people have used power sanders for similar self massage results.

I have a power sander and am not looking to drop $600. I'd use it on big muscles like quad, glute, ham, spinal erectors.

Anyone tried this? How likely am I to eff myself up?

Make sure you use really fine grit

I'm pretty sure it's a car buffer not a power sander.

Was at the Chiro the other day for some neck stiffness after a wreck. It's a sports-mobility guy I typically see when my legs start giving me issues from running. He was out, so the PT that works with him saw me. Even though I was there for the neck, he left a note for the PT to work on my tight hips since he knows I run. PT is slightly effeminate. Nice guy, apparently straight, but kind of effeminate. He asks if I've ever had the Theragun used. I say no. He pulls it out and asks me to lay on my stomach. Next thing I know, I've got a dude with a power tool drilling me in the glutes. I'm ashamed to type that out.....but it happened.....and it felt good.


It is basically a jigsaw, but instead of a blade, it's a rod with a ball on the end.

I had boogars flying out of my nose from burst laughing.

So you liked getting pounded with rods with balls around the glutes? How deep did he go? Was it more of a smooth long powerful stroke or quick bursts?

My friend pounded me from behind in his office today. It was amazing. I'm like twice as loose as I was before.

Is there some sort of double meaning to this I'm not getting?

That's terrible they charge that much for that. That is a Worx jigsaw with a rubber ball on the end.

Nope, just grown men talking about power tools and using it on their asses.

Cool, that's what I was hoping for. I only did the Theragun on my spinal erectors, but I'll admit I was a little curious about how it would feel on other large muscles like quads, glutes, etc.

Looks like a jig saw with a rubber ball on the end instead of blades.

That's when you thought I set myself up, not this point?

I'm going to make a "theragun" in a little while. Let's see if it pleasures me.

I tried the power sander. Pretty blah. I'm probably going to DIY a Theragun from a jigsaw over the weekend.

The Theragun was awesome because it really dug into the muscle. The sander just jiggled my quads.
