# Powerboost Pro+ Is The Big Daddy Of Percussion Massagers *By James Hills — Updated January 2025* For the most part, most percussion massagers on the market are the same today. The biggest differences tend to be in the style of the massage gun, which comes down to personal preference. While a few (including this one) offer unique attachments to improve their massage performance, they all pretty much do the same thing - pound your muscles into submission. The Powerboost Pro+ by Sharper Image though is different. While it has everything that I mentioned previously, it also comes with Hot and Cold massage heads that are capable of delivering an additional level of therapy to your sore muscles. For additional information about the [Powerboost Pro+ Hot and Cold Massager](https://amzn.to/40JVpaZ) please visit Amazon. We previously reviewed the [Powerboost Move](index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3567:powerboost-move-percussion-massager-is-a-great-traveling-companion&catid=16:stuff&Itemid=530) [(also available on Amazon)](https://amzn.to/3E7ZqNt) that was designed for travel purposes but this one is clearly designed more for home use, though I suppose you could pack it in your gym bag as well.  When not in use it comes with a very nice carrying case that includes space for all six of the attachments and charging base though I think most men will prefer to set up the base and leave the case in the closet somewhere (though it is still good for storing the attachments). This ensures that the Powerboost Pro+ is always ready for action. ### Cruise Ship Wi-Fi Guide for First-Time Cruisers First-time cruiser connectivity made simple: ship Wi-Fi versus cellular day passes, which cruise lines include internet, security considerations for banking, and practical strategies to match your usage without overspending.

Stainless, no propane tank to wrestle, and hot enough to cook for four guys rather than reheat for one.

As with anything involving percussion massagers though, it is very important to use it properly. We have discussed in previous posts the importance of avoiding sensitive and bony areas of the body such as back, neck, and head - but you should also make sure to use the cold therapy in time limited sessions. At a max low temperature of only 10 degrees Fahrenheit this can cause you to freeze your skin. As such, it is important to be careful not to apply the therapy for too long and also to always use the same precautions you might do with ice packs ie consider using a towel to avoid directly pressing the attachment to your skin.
