Hi, @tkhuntington - welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect.

I'm wondering if you have a peripheral neuropathy diagnosis, and if so, what symptoms you are experiencing? Are you asking about use of a chest rub ointment?

Theragun is a brand of a handheld percussion massage device. You might want to try typing it in the search box at the top of the page and search for others who have used the device.
