Theragun percussion massagers are up to $110 off right now
With the world the way that it is, it can't hurt to have a massage gun on hand. And now's a good time to snag one. Wellbots has an exclusive deal for Engadget readers on three popular Therabody models. Save up to $110 today on that tempting Theragun you've been eyeing. You'll save the most on the top-of-the-line model. The Theragun Pro Plus G6 is a powerhouse with a 16 mm amplitude. (That's how far it can travel with each pulse.) Its motor delivers up to 60 lbs. of force. That should be more than enough to pound out whatever ails you. The Theragun Pro Plus G6 supports vibration, heat and LED light therapy. It comes with five attachments: standard ball, dampener, thumb, micro-point and wedge. The device has an ergonomic grip, so you can easily reach those shoulder and back muscles. It's long-lasting: up to 300 minutes on a single charge. The gun even integrates with the Therabody app, where you'll find guided routines. This model usually costs an eye-popping $650. But can get it for $540 with our exclusive code. Enter ENGADGET110THERA at checkout. Although impressive, the high-end model is overkill for most people. You can also save on a model that's great for casual users. The Theragun Relief G6 is a lightweight massage gun (1.37 lbs.) that's easy to throw into a gym bag. It has a 10 mm amplitude, which feels less like hard pounding and more like a pleasant vibration. This one doesn't support heat therapy. But it still includes three attachments: standard ball, dampener and thumb. The Theragun Relief G6 retails for $160. But our code ENGADGET30THERA slashes it to $130. For something between the first two options, you can also save on the Theragun Prime Plus. Like the first model we covered, this one has an impressive 16 mm amplitude. It's 95 percent quieter than its predecessor, so it won't disturb anyone. This model also supports heat therapy. It includes four attachment heads: standard ball, dampener, wedge and heated percussive plus. You can also use it for cold and vibration modes, but those heads are sold separately. The Therabody Prime Plus typically costs $430. But Engadget's code lets you save $60. Enter ENGADGET60THERA at checkout to bring it down to $369.

What you didn't know you could use your HSA for
(NewsNation) — A health savings account lets you put pre-tax money aside to pay for your medical expenses, but there are some items that you can buy with your HSA that you might not think about. HSAs do come with an investment option, so any earnings will grow tax-free if you decide to invest. Any contributions are also made with pre-tax dollars. Typically, you will have the option to add an HSA to your health insurance plan through the government or your workplace. Low levels of lead exposure may worsen academic performance: Study Here are some not-so-obvious items that you can purchase with your HSA: Breast pumps Light therapy face masks Massage guns Transportation Medical conferences Improvements to your home Weight-loss programs Alcohol and drug treatment programs Your health insurance plan will typically cover your breast pump and any needed supplies. However, if you don't like the one that is being offered and want a different model, you can use your HSA to purchase one. If you don't have health insurance and just have existing HSA funds, you can use those, but extra bottles for milk storage wouldn't count. Debate rages over RFK Jr.'s MAHA report on root causes of disease HSAs can also be used to help with the cost of breast reconstruction surgery or breast implants after cancer. However, if you just want breast augmentation surgery, you won't be able to use your HSA funds. This one was a bit shocking, but yes! You can use your HSA funds to purchase a light therapy face mask. These masks are typically FDA-approved, and they use red and blue lights to help prevent acne and keep your skin clear. Massage guns can also be purchased with your HSA funds! A Theragun helps with deep-muscle therapy and increases blood flow. It can also help get rid of any tension you might have. These massage guns can run anywhere from $150 to $600. Proposed THC ban in Texas about 'protecting kids,' lawmakers say Theraguns must be used for medical purposes and be purchased with your HSA funds. Your HSA funds can also be used to cover local or long-distance travel, as long as it is essential for your medical care. This can include costs for: Ambulances Buses Rental cars Planes Car services Trains If you are driving a car you own, you do have the option to add up the expenses. You can also use the IRS' rate of $0.21 per mile for 2025. If you are going to a medical conference that is related to a chronic illness, you can use your HSA funds to pay for admission to the conference as well as transportation. The person who has the chronic illness could be you, your spouse, your child or your eligible dependent. RFK Jr. ends COVID-19 vaccine recommendation for healthy children, pregnant women However, you can't use your HSA for the cost of meals or hotels while in town for the conference. If there are improvements that need to be made to your home for your medical care, you can use HSA funds to cover those. This can be for you, your spouse, your child or your eligible dependent. Tips for families traveling with loved one with Alzheimer's Some improvements that would be eligible include: A ramp to get into your home Widening your doorways or hallways Installing handrails Modifying any door handles If you are diagnosed with obesity or high blood pressure (or other related issues), you might be able to use your HSA funds for a weight-loss program. However, gym fees and food would not be covered. If you have a drug or alcohol use disorder and you need treatment, you can use your HSA to cover those costs. This would include a treatment center where you are staying and the meals. You could also include any transportation to meetings like Alcoholics Anonymous. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

China tariff relief spurs shipping rush, U-turn on price hikes
The temporary relief means that US companies will try to quickly ship out products that were being held in China's factory warehouses. PHOTO: REUTERS It may only be a 90-day reprieve from the steepest of US President Donald Trump's China tariffs, but it is enough time to entice companies to restart factory operations and start shipping. Therabody, a Los Angeles-based maker of wellness products such as Theragun massagers, restarted manufacturing and is ramping up production again in China, chief executive officer Monty Sharma said. He added that 'in my 40 years of work,' he's never been happier 'about a 30 per cent increase in our costs'. Getting up and running again will not be straightforward. Sellers of imports from China are facing risks such as a sudden surge of shipping demand that is expected to raise costs and create delays. On top of this, the relatively short 90-day window in which tariffs are being lowered does not give companies a lot of wiggle room when it comes to trans-oceanic supply chains. Bogg Bag, a company known for its perforated tote bags, has reversed an earlier decision to raise prices and will instead keep them the same – at least for now. The company has also resumed production that was halted earlier this year. However, Bogg is planning to cut its fall and holiday product line-up by 45 items – or almost half of its collection – so that it does not have to rush production to make up for lost time. Additionally, Bogg wants to move quickly to get products out. 'Let's get them finished, let's get them loaded and on the water,' said Bogg's CEO and founder Kim Vaccarella, because ports will begin to get crowded. The temporary tariff relief means that US companies will try to quickly ship out products that were being held in factory warehouses in China, according to David Chitayat, CEO of Genimex, which does contract manufacturing for global brands. Many businesses will probably try to stock up on their products in the US to have a cushion of inventory in case trade talks break down or levies spike back up after the 90-day period. Some of those goods will still need to be produced, since some manufacturing was paused during the surge in tariffs. Mr Chitayat predicted companies will be able to absorb the tariffs at their current level – but consumers will still face higher prices. 'The tariffs are still meaningful, but should be manageable for most brands,' he said, assuming companies hike prices. A 30 per cent increase in manufacturing costs translates to roughly a 5 per cent to 10 per cent increase in the price consumers pay for the product, he added. Companies still face hurdles to ship their products to the US quickly during the 90-day window. In the short term, shipping is 'going to be a mess with everyone scrambling to get space', Mr Chitayat said. He expects container prices to go up but notes they are starting from a low point. Tarptent, a California-based seller of outdoor gear, which had previously asked its Hong Kong-headquartered supplier to pause purchase orders from its factory in China, is now exploring whether its orders can be resumed. The company is also gauging whether there is enough time to order and ship the US-made fabric it uses for its tents to the manufacturer in time for a production run to happen within the 90-day reprieve window in which the countries are engaged in talks. 'My guess is that it is pretty unlikely,' Mr Henry Shires, Tarptent's president, said in an email on May 12. 'At this point, I would say that the 90-day widow is very narrow – and the window givers are too unreliable – to risk a big investment' in fabric, he said. He said he was waiting for the sun to rise in Hong Kong to see if the manufacturer could use fabric that is already on site at the factory. The lower-tariff window will help Net Health Shops LLC in the short term, CEO Chuck Gregorich said. The home-goods company is looking into shipping dozens of containers from China that it paused in March. He expects this to boost its overall inventory and alleviate supply shortages. Whether he decides to ship those containers will also depend on ocean freight rates, he added. He anticipates that rates could rise due to pent-up demand as other businesses look to get more items delivered in the coming weeks and months. Longer term, he expects items from China to remain more expensive, so he's prioritising sourcing products from other countries like Vietnam and India. 'My mind is already in those other countries,' he said. BLOOMBERG Join ST's Telegram channel and get the latest breaking news delivered to you.
