Successful one-two punches in recovery combine two good things to make one great thing. For example, foam rollers with vibrating cores give athletes a relaxing dose of vibration therapy as they target myofascial releases post-workout. When it comes to percussive massage therapy, however, it’s a tougher matchmaking process. There’s simply too much movement to incorporate another mode for relief.

That is, until Hyperice decided to turn up the heat (literally) with its latest innovation.

The brand’s all-new Heated Head Attachment combines the effects of percussive massage therapy with heat therapy thanks to its internal unit, with three settings capable of reaching temperatures between 109º F and 120º F. The new attachment, which looks no different than Hyperice’s other flat-faced heads, features a rechargeable power source with a battery life of up to 75 minutes.

“By combining heat with our full line of Hypervolt percussion massage devices, we aim to more effectively address muscle tension, stiffness and discomfort,” says Hyperice CEO Jim Huether.

The combo promises to unlock a slew of perks previously unforeseen in recovery (outside of the few heated massage guns already on the market).

The Benefits of a Heated Head Attachment

Beyond taking the relaxing sensations of percussive massage therapy up a degree (or three), the Heated Head Attachment can also allow essential nutrients and oxygen to reach the targeted muscle tissues more efficiently. This can lead to faster recovery and better tension relief.

When it comes to warming up, heat has a calming effect on the body, which can lead to a reduced sense of anxiety pre-workout or pre-event. The Heated Head Attachment can also help keep the muscles themselves flexible and engaged before strenuous activity like lifting weights, agility training or running.

Which Hyperice Massage Guns are Compatible with the Heated Head Attachment?

The Heated Head Attachment is intended for use with the entire Hyperice Hypervolt family, including the entry-level Hypervolt 2, the powerful Hypervolt 2 Pro and the ultra-portable Hypervolt Go 2. The brand also states that this innovative accessory will work with previous-generation Hypervolt profiles, too.

Will Hyperice Have Dedicated Programming for the Heated Head Attachment?

While the brand has not stated whether specific modules will be added to the Hyperice app’s library, there will be resources to increase understanding of the new product. The brand is releasing an innovative educational content series on its companion app and YouTube channel to show athletes how to improve their overall wellness and recovery regimens.

Content will include user-friendly guidance across a number of Hyperice products, including the Heated Head Attachment, as well as personal insight from multiple wellness and performance experts such as Joe Holder, Betina Gozo and others.

The Heated Head Attachment is available as of this morning for $59.
