Prime Plus and PRO Plus both combine percussion with heat, but they are not the same device at different prices. Prime Plus focuses on a straightforward daily combination; PRO Plus offers a broader therapy system.

Key points

Prime Plus: focused heat and percussion.
PRO Plus: a broader multi-therapy system.
Heat should feel comfortable, never burning.

Prime Plus

Prime Plus provides five percussion speeds, three heat levels and four included attachments. It suits regular full-size use when warming sensation is the main extra feature.

PRO Plus

PRO Plus combines percussion with heat, vibration and infrared LED; cold requires a separately available attachment. The broader system makes sense only when those options will be used.

Compare the routine, not just specs

  • Can you comfortably reach your target areas?
  • Will a simpler device be used more often?
  • Will different household users value extra settings?
  • Can you name the feature that justifies the added cost?

Use heat safely

Start at the lowest heat level, keep moving and avoid numb, inflamed or acutely injured areas. Stop for pain, marked redness or burning and follow the manual for medical conditions.
