Therabody has kicked off its Black Friday sale almost two weeks early, so if you want to save yourself some money on a brand new massage gun or compression boots, now’s the time. The only difficulty you may have is knowing which recovery tool is right for you and actually worth your money because, let’s be honest, Therabody does offer a lot.

As T3’s Active Writer, I’ve been lucky enough to test many of their products and see if they actually help improve my post-workout recovery. As a whole, Therabody is a fantastic brand and one of the best on the market for recovery gadgets, however, even I think certain products are worth the hype more than others.

Below are three Therabody Black Friday products that I actually genuinely rate and think are worth the money…

Therabody ThermBack LED
Brilliant for lower back pain
Therabody ThermBack LED: was £249 now £199 at therabody.co.uk

If you suffer with lower back pain, then this gadget is a game-changer. You have to use it consistently though, don’t expect one use and all your back problems to vanish. It’s a belt that delivers four science-backed treatments – LED light, heat, vibration, and far infrared therapy – which, according to Therabody, work together to relieve lower back pain, speed up recovery, and improve mobility. My Dad (who has damage to one of the discs in his lower back) also sang its praises. Although it kind of looks a little gimmicky, the results are far from it.

Therabody JetBoots Prime
Best for lower body relief
Therabody JetBoots Prime: was £469 now £399 at therabody.co.uk

Compression boots aren’t cheap, but if you regularly tackle endurance events or heavy leg days, they’re a worthwhile investment. The JetBoot Prime are Therabody’s more affordable wireless option – noticeably cheaper than many competitors – and I was impressed when I tried them. They’re lightweight and easy to use, making them more portable than most (even if they’re still a bit bulky). While they didn’t completely eliminate DOMS, they made post-workout recovery feel much smoother and more manageable.

Therabody Theragun Relief
A great beginner massage gun
Therabody Theragun Relief: was £129 now £99 at therabody.co.uk

I’ll cut straight to the chase, this isn’t the most powerful gun in the Theragun lineup, but that’s exactly why I like it. Some people find some massage guns too powerful, and if that’s you, then I highly recommend this massage gun. It still packs a punch to relieve bodily aches and pains, but it uses the gentlest level of percussive massage therapy, making it great for those who prefer mild massage, rather than a beating.
