Brad & Bob Q2 Mini Pro Massage Gun: Just the right punch in a pocket-sized package

Article by Michael Ellenberger 

Brad & Bob Q2 Mini Pro Massage Gun  ($89.99)


As runners, it goes without saying that we are constantly battling tight muscles and nagging issues that threaten to derail our training (just check my running log on any given day). When Brad & Bob sent me their Q2 Mini Pro massage gun to test, I was admittedly skeptical - I’ve tested a lot of massage guns, and usually, the size of the device dictates its effectiveness to a high degree. 

This thing is, well, mini! Could something this compact really make a difference? After several weeks of use, despite never having heard of this brand, I'm genuinely impressed.

Just in terms of convenience, this thing is awesome - it’s actually really impressive to me how effective a smaller-form massage gun can be. 

While it doesn't have the same raw power as my full-size Theragun, it's more than capable of handling tight hamstrings, calves, and other problem areas runners constantly deal with. I even used it effectively on my Achilles when it was acting up after a particularly hilly long run (did this fix my problem long-term? No. Did it provide some much needed relief? Oh yeah).


Initially, I thought the heat and cooling features were just marketing gimmicks, but I've come to use them regularly. The heat function works wonders on chronically tight areas, while the cooling option provides immediate relief after hard workouts. Both features activate surprisingly quickly – no waiting around when you need relief now.


The biggest downside is that the heating/cooling system requires separate charging from the massage mechanism itself. That said, the charging situation is actually pretty convenient because (a) it's USB-C and (b) the device holds a charge for a very long time. I've gone nearly two weeks of regular use without needing to plug it in.


For runners looking for effective recovery on the go, the Q2 Mini Pro delivers performance well beyond its compact size. It's become my go-to option for travel races and quick treatment between runs.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I found myself stuck in a cycle that had no end to it,I knew I needed to break out of that matrix or watch all I have ever worked for go down the drain all for nothing . The setbacks & mountainous taxes I faced in the later stages of my investment while trying to withdraw my assets, I vividly recall experiencing none of that in the earlier rounds when I started investing.Despite being faced with these abrupt taxes which I willingly paid hoping that my withdrawal process will be approved.Withdrawing my trading gains turned from a walk in the park to nothing but a disappointing & frustrating experience filled with unending commission and denied withdrawals altogether.This could have gone on until I was bankrupt or worse homeless in the streets, it breaks my heart When I remember how lost & broken I felt upon discovering the investment company was fraudulent because I always thought I knew better & not the type to fall victim to such. Finding yourself in such situation and not knowing what to do or where to begin your search for a solution to get your invested asset out is an experience and a feeling that not just anyone understands,”it’s like a been there done that kind of situation”, drowning in your own pool of regrets & self blame while battling the thoughts of the possible loss of your whole investment . I Searched high & low and left no stone unturned in my quest for assistance,I faced countless disappointment from firms & institution I thought I could rely on, not to mention the discouragements from friends & family who wanted me to give up on my search and consider damage control, instead of trying to recover what I lost as it was clearly costing me more & taking it’s toll on my overall wellbeing, but of course I paid no attention to the negative comments.
And it’s not until I tried and tried and tried again did my search lead me to “VALOR HACK RECOVERY TEAM”. Valor Team handled my request & complaint with ease and ethics that I have never seen before in my life , after “VALOR TEAM’S” interception in my case my idea of possibilities heightened. My newly found awareness towards Investments & “Investment Frauds” gave me the push to share my experience in an attempt to help the next victim who is probably going through the same emotional rollercoaster of uncertainty and failed expectation from sources they trusted ,to search no further but head straight to a Renowned & Legit asset recovery company “VALOR HACK RECOVERY TEAM” , because this team in question worked round the clock to ensure my invested asset were pulled from the fraudulent investment company. It became clear to me after getting scammed that it’s no news anymore to loose money through an investment scam ,it has become a widespread problem that’s eating deep into the savings account of my fellow Americans and the world at large and it’s high time we fight fire with fire. Fighting Fraud, Fraud prevention, detection & Asset recovery works better when everyone that has ever come in contact with “Valor team” and can attest to the company’s authenticity(who ) also understands how this team works, to go Public make & it an obligation to educate your family, team, anyone & everyone within your reach (the next victim or the world in general) to use a trusted Asset Recovery Solution like “VALOR HACK RECOVERY TEAM” to identify problems/foul play in any investment or business deal they wish to venture in to. Delegate tasks like this to the right experts - VALOR HACK TEAM- they can detect & deal with any red flags raised by the investment company that you are already investing with or about to invest in, with their expert insight in fraud detection system.
