Therabody, popular for its massage guns and evolving recovery technology, has teamed up with Garmin to help you recover in a smarter manner. Garmin, well known for its smartwatches that provide advanced insights into your workouts and health, is helping Therabody step the way we use their products up a notch.Â
Therabody plans on using Garmin’s smartwatch data to improve the user experience. If you already own a Garmin and a Therabody massage gun, you’re in for a treat. Therabody scientists plan on looking at the information Garmin smartwatches provide based on your workouts to come up with routines to help all athletes with their recovery — no matter how experienced they are. This way, Therabody can recommend specific recovery routines with its products based on the type of workout you’ve done.Â
This will be powered through Therabody’s new AI-powered digital recovery platform in the app called Coach by Therabody. Coach by Therabody is meant to look at your health and activity data from Garmin in order to recommend recovery routines created by experts like sports scientists. Therabody aims to provide a helpful recovery experience based on all the data it collects from Garmin smartwatches, as well as external app platforms you sync it with, like Strava or Apple. This is a smart approach to recovery, especially if you are an athlete who owns Garmin and Therabody products. This can take the guesswork out of determining which muscles you should massage after a tough workout and if you should take that rest day instead of pushing through.Â
