On the shoulder the bone is relatively close to the surface, one turns the massager to its side for a softer vibration. Also time matters, initially one spot gets 15 seconds and then you move to the next. Hubby has lower back pain which acts up occasionally to the point of almost crippling, he uses the soft head. The Theragun has several different types of heads, and in a few minutes he is out of pain. The massager increases the blood circulation. But each area of the body responds to its preferred form of massage.
I never travel anywhere without my trusty massager. It gets priority packing along with my tooth brush.
