Hi Edouard,

Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your experience with us. We truly appreciate your long-time support — and we hear you.

Given your heavy use and the challenges with your Tibial Plateau Fracture (TPF), it’s no surprise that even the more robust massage guns start to wear down faster. Unfortunately, most devices just aren’t built with long, intensive daily sessions in mind, especially with focused tips like the bullet head, which put more stress on the motor.

Between the Bob and Brad D6 Pro and the Ekrin Kestrel, we’d gently lean toward the Bob and Brad for you—mainly because of its higher stall force (60 lbs) and deeper amplitude (16mm). The Ekrin Kestrel, as you know, revs up to 3500 RPM, and believe me, it is intense and achieves similar results to the D6 Pro.

Both massage guns will build heat after long, heavy sessions. However, here is why I’m leaning towards the D6 Pro in your specific case: The Bob and Brad D6 Pro frame allows you to grab the massager from sections away from the heat source, AKA the motor — a big plus based on your concerns about heat buildup.

The Ekrin Kestrel is awesome for standard sessions, but I imagine you have long sessions that are outside of the intent of any massage gun. In that case, and depending on the angle you are using the muscle massager, you may need to grab the Ekrin from near the top where the motor is, and it might not be too comfortable.

If heat dissipation and motor longevity turn out to be issues again, we’d also suggest shorter sessions with breaks between them when possible — just to ease the strain on the internal components.
We’re always here to help — and again, thank you for trusting us. Let us know what you end up choosing. Wishing you a smooth recovery and many pain-free days ahead.

Warm regards,
