6 minute read
Hi, I'm Anthony. Theragun is the most-recognized percussive massage brand and one of the most-asked-about products on Burst.
Short answer. Yes. Theragun (Therabody) percussive massage devices (Theragun Pro, Theragun Elite, Theragun Prime, Theragun Mini, Theragun Sense, Theragun Relief) and the Therabody+ guided routine subscription can be FSA or HSA reimbursable with a Letter of Medical Necessity. The IRS treats percussive massage devices as dual-purpose under Publication 502 and Notices 2006-69 and 2007-2: consumer recovery products by default, medical equipment when documented. The contexts that approve consistently are chronic muscular pain, fibromyalgia, post-surgical mobility work, and PT-supplemental home use. Below is the framework.
If that already describes you, the request takes about three minutes and you can skip the rest of this guide.
What's eligible with an LMN
Theragun Pro. Premium model with rotating arm and longest battery.
Theragun Elite, Prime. Mid-tier models.
Theragun Mini. Travel-size.
Theragun Sense. The wellness-focused model with HRV-guided routines.
Theragun Relief. Lower-cost entry model.
Therabody+ subscription. Guided routine app. Reimburses on the same LMN.
Replacement attachment heads (cone, dampener, supersoft, large ball).
Replacement batteries for ongoing use.
What's not eligible
Therabody branded apparel.
Cosmetic upgrades.
Theragun for someone without their own LMN.
Common reasons people get a Theragun LMN
Chronic muscular pain (back, neck, shoulders)
Fibromyalgia
Post-surgical mobility work (when paired with PT)
Chronic tension headaches and TMJ-adjacent muscle work
PT-supplemental home use for chronic conditions
Sciatica and piriformis syndrome
Plantar fasciitis (foot-targeted percussion)
A few common Theragun FSA/HSA pitfalls
Forgetting Therabody+. The subscription reimburses on the same LMN as the hardware.
Submitting general athletic recovery as the LMN context. Plan admins want documented medical contexts.
Letting the LMN expire mid-subscription. Annual refresh keeps Therabody+ covered.
Theragun FSA/HSA FAQ
Is Theragun HSA eligible without an LMN?
Theragun is a recovery product by IRS default. The LMN creates eligibility.
Is the Therabody+ subscription covered?
On the same LMN as the hardware, yes.
Can I cover both Theragun and Hyperice Hypervolt on the same LMN?
When the contexts are distinct, yes. Otherwise, one device typically suffices.
Can I get an LMN for a Theragun I already bought?
Per IRS guidelines, LMNs must be for purchases made on or after the LMN request date.
Is the LMN fee itself FSA/HSA eligible?
Yes.
