Pro R1 Therapy Massager - Handheld Deep Tissue Vibration Massager for Full Body Pain Relief & Fascial limitation & Treats Sensitive Areas | Pressure Point Massage Tool (Upgraded)-Blue

I have issues with my neck and migraines. My chiropractor recommended a rapid release tool and after searching Amazon, the Hyako Pro seemed like a great product and well priced. I bought one and I absolutely love it. I use it every day wherever I am hurting and it really helps. The small metal tip is perfect for the area where the base of the skull meets the neck to work out knots and relieve tension. It is particularly convenient that you just need to turn the massager to the tip that you want to use. No searching for and switching attachments like those massage guns. It is also powerful and the charge lasts a very long time. A few weeks after I got mine, I sent one to my son as a gift to help with his sore muscles and tight calves. He loves it too. After several months of use, mine is working perfectly but his stopped working properly. I contacted customer service and Hyako responded within minutes and told me they would send him a free replacement. He received it a few days later and he is thrilled to have his favorite massager again and just in time to take with him on vacation. We both highly recommend this product and are very happy with how the company stands behind their product and their warranty.

My acupuncturist used this on me and I ran home and purchased it immediately, this is so much better than a massage gun, as a massage therapist, I know the damaged that be done to tissues and lymphatic systems, especially in older or more fragile bodies ... This does the work with no pain, no deep pulse, its very superficial but the speed makes it deep and much broader than the massage gun, gentle, feels amazing, safe and super effective... LOVE this and cant say enough about how good this is... stop looking , buy this

I think this product is very helpful. It is worth the money! This lightweight, portable device helps to reduce pain and is easy to use. It has a good level of vibration and works well. Thank you HYAKO!

I have some chronic muscle pain issues - and try a variety of movement and exercise daily. The Hyako is not a percussion massager. I'm not a fan of percussion massage which often creates more pain than benefit and is not optimal for massaging thinner sheets of muscle. Rather, I have found kneading massages (think Shiatsu) or gentle orbital massages (like MedMassager units and now the smaller Hyako) are best. This is a (gentle; depends on settings) vibration massager and can be run over just about anywhere and has multiple options for which contact surface to use - including a tiny point for intense force on a small area. This has reduced pain sensitivity for me allowing less stiffness and better sleep. 5-10 minutes all over the legs, glutes and lower back works wonders. I personally often use the edge of the machine between the two steel prongs and find it just right even on the lowest power setting. One reviewer mentioned best not to use directly on skin - that's probably true - I would suggest on the outside of garments or throw a towel over the area and massage through that as some of the silicone contact surfaces could bind otherwise. This is powerful and adjustable and I'm going to be using this daily for a long time.

Stopped working after 30 days *edited Worked with the warranty team and they sent me a new one Working well. A bit on the heavy side but its robust

Well made massage tool. Powerful and easy to use. I’m a massage therapist and use it on my clients often. It provides a good and fast release while being well tolerated by most people. I like the different heads and the fact that I don’t need to stop to change anything. It can be used with oil or over clothes. I find it easy to use on myself too. It holds charge for a long time. (I have only been using it for couple of months so far.) It’s well weighted, not too heavy - not too light) and thought it’s little noisy my clients don’t seem to mind. The sensation of the vibration feels relaxing and deep. The tool is well priced also. I would be happy to recommend this tool to professional body workers as well as for personal use.

**Updated Review as of October 12, 2025 — HYAKO Pro R1 Max (After Extended Use)** As a personal trainer and coach, I initially had high hopes for the original HYAKO Pro R1 but ran into a few issues with durability over time. The great news is that HYAKO’s customer service was absolutely top-notch once I brought those concerns to their attention. They immediately reached out and offered to replace my unit with the upgraded R1 Pro Max, which was designed to address the very issues I mentioned in my first review. I’ve now been using the R1 Pro Max weekly for several months, and I purposely held off on updating this review to make sure it could hold up over time — and it absolutely has. The build quality is noticeably improved, the performance has been consistent, and the overall power of the unit is excellent. For context, I’ve been testing this side by side with a much more expensive competitor (Rapid Release), and the R1 Pro Max has held its own impressively well. In fact, when it comes to portability and self-use, the R1 Pro Max is actually more convenient. I’m very happy with this version of the product and can confidently say it’s worth recommending — especially for fitness professionals or active individuals who want a high-quality vibration therapy tool without spending over a thousand dollars. **Original review** As a personal trainer/Coach I was really hoping to like this and being able to recommend to clients that can’t withstand using the percussion guns. The product is good in the first few weeks of use but with more use the head gets looser the noise level raises. Retuned my first one (really good customer service) but replacement came and within a month of purposely lighter/limited daily use, the head started to separate from the body again and make a lot of noise. Unfortunately, can’t waste another $100+ USD on this again. I’ll see if I can return this one because do I like the vibration concept but if not I will probably look to spend a little more money on the rapid release brand since that I what I was introduced to by my chiro originally a few years ago when it was still $1,500 usd. Again it is really good for a couple of months or really light use. Battery is really good on this unit as well but at $100+ I can’t recommend for an avid user or gym goer.

I've been and clinical massage therapist for nearly 30 years. I do use therapy tools but am particular about what I choose and when I use them. I've used percussive massage guns but find them somewhat limited in what they provide therapeutically. The Hayako Pro vibration tool is a completely different tool. It penetrates deeply without being abusive and induces warmth and blood flow into the tissues. Clients have commented about how deep and effective the vibration is but that it is very comfortable, even when passing over bony prominences. The tool is solid, heavy, easy to use and quite versatile with the various incorporated attachments. I find that I rarely use my percussive massage tool anymore. On another note: The customer service from Hayako has been magnificent. After approximately 11 months, my original tool began to lose power and vibrate intermittently. I messaged Hayako customer service and told them of the issue. They were very quick to respond and express delivered a new unit the next day. There are other vibration massage tools out there that sell for a lot more money. The specs on the Hayako seem very similar and I can't imagine those other more expensive units work any better or can exceed the customer service experience I've had with Hayako.

Ich benutzte eine Massagepistole schon seit 2 Jahren, habe mit der anderen durchaus auch Erfolge erzielt. Aber dieses Gerät hier von Hyako ist eine ganz andere Liga. Die normalen Massagepistolen sind vom Gefühl her wie ein Hammerschlag, sehr hart und erreichen nicht die Umdrehungen, die dieses Gerät hat. Und man muss umständlich verschiedene Aufsätze draufmachen, wenn man die Anwendung wechseln will. Hier nicht, die 3 Aufsätze und noch dazu die flache Fläche oben denken alles ab. Und vom Gefühl her, ist es halt eher ein Vibrieren statt ein Klopfen, sehr wohlig mit der flachen Fläche, gezielt mit den anderen Teilen. Meine Frau hatte die Pistole immer als unangenehm empfunden, bei dieser hier war sie begeistert. Ich habe in 20 Minuten Spannungen in ihrem Rücken spürbar lösen können. Übrigens schreibe ich hier als Privatperson, kein Sponsoring oder dergleichen. In den höheren Stufen dringen die Vibrationen spürbar in das Gewebe ein. Das Gewebe wird gelockert und tatsächlich auch zur Behandlung von Faszien. Oder auch als Akkupressurgerät an den Triggerpunkten. Und auch an den Füßen tut es sehr gut. Fazit: ich bin wirklich begeistert von diesem Gerät. Lieber mehr Geld in die Hand nehmen und etwas zu Hochwertiges wie dieses Gerät kaufen.

Good item

This massager is excellent. I have an inflammation in my Achilles tendon and today after my flair up , I decided to use this massager and see if it actually works. So I did and I noticed , unlike the Thera gun that I have, this works more like the tens unit my physio therapist uses on me and my pain dropped down dramatically, apon use. Don't think, just buy. No regrets. None whatsoever.

Great hand held massager brought as a gift for my husband. If you like pressure this is great for you with extras included for different types of massage.

Tolles Gerät und um einiges besser als eine Massagepistole. Hat einfach mehr Power und ist angenehmer.
