HYAKO 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

This devices incredible.i had previously bought the other name brand device that is 10 times the cost of this device and though it was good I just couldn't justify the price and sent it back. I then found this device and was a bit skeptical at first. I mean how could this device that does the same thing be 10 times less than the other one? I Figured it would be cheap flemsy and have no power,but boy was wrong. Though is is rated for less power than the more expensive device, you can't tell the difference at all, it has plenty of power. I even like this device better than the more expensive device for a few reasons. This device is smaller and lighter than the other device, it fits in hand better and doesn't fatigue your wrist or arm. The other device comes with 2 batteries and a charging dock but the batteries only lasted about 15 minutes and took 3 hours to charge, but not so with this device..it has battery built into it and charges via a usb-c cable.. the battery in this device lasts a very long time, I've used it for days, multiple times per day and yet to need charged. I have many other massage devices including percussion and this is the best of all of them, it really gets down to the soft tissue and feels amazing. I honestly can't believe the quality of this device fir the price, it is sturdy and well built, you can feel the quality. I would highly recommend this device to anyone, you won't regret it

It’s a very well made. It feels great. You will feel great after. And you won’t need to use it for hrs to feel great. Some chiropractors use it as well. I have had neck, shoulder and back surgery. If tried percussion and many massagers. I originally wanted the rapid release but it is expensive. This one is just like it. Fraction of the cost and get same results. Dont hesitate. Just get it. It was in my cart for a long time cause I was skeptical. I should have gotten it a long time ago. Go for it and get it. You won’t be disappointed

Love that this works through vibration and not punches. I can massage a greater surface area and up my neck toward the back of my skull without it hurting or bruising. Battery hold up well.

As a retired chiropractor who used the Rapid Release instrument in my practice for 10 years, I feel that Hyako Pro R1 therapy massager works as well as the the Rapid Release instrument . The size and portability of the instrument is a plus factor and I would highly recommend this instrument

Powerful and effective massager. Does not need excessive pressure to be effective.

Super surprise by the quality of the massager the attachments help curve someone with sensitive spots. Very easy to use and charge.

**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 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.

A quality product and better than expected! Easy to use and after two days use I have seen improvements to my strained hamstring and glute issues! Thanks.

Use it daily. Comfortable to work with. . Arrived charged for immediate use. Good for overall body. Vibration easier on body than percussion massagers. Consider it an invaluable tool in my health toolbox.Have given it to adult children.they too are finding it very useful.

Good item

Amazing for the price!

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.
