The Thumper Sport deep tissue massager is also designed with a long ergonomically designed handle to ensure your self massage can reach every muscle on your body particularly those in the middle of your back or around the glutes and calves.

The drive unit which powers the percussion massager is powerful enough to deliver a continuous, rapid and penetrating motion know as tapotement. Despite the power being delivered through the percussion heads, there is very little feedback or resonance to the handle. This is important as it allows the user of the Thumper to maintain the massage without any vibration discomfort.

The level of massage can be altered either via the use of changeable heads or by amending the speed control selector. The speed can be altered between 20 and 40 pulses / second.
