Recovery has become just as essential to performance as training itself. But conventional tools like compression boots or clinic-based electrical therapy are often bulky, expensive, and stationary.
Firefly, a lightweight wearable recovery device, reimagines this process with a portable approach designed to work during travel, downtime, or even your daily routine.
Using neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), Firefly activates key nerves in the lower leg to promote blood flow, flush out metabolic waste, and speed recovery—all without interrupting life off the field.
The Firefly device wraps just below the knee and stimulates the peroneal nerve, triggering small, rhythmic muscle contractions. These contractions help mimic the body’s natural movement, increasing circulation without strenuous activity.
Unlike TENS units, which are used primarily for pain relief, Firefly’s goal is circulatory stimulation for recovery. The effect is similar to what might be achieved by walking or light cycling—but without requiring actual movement.
Each session can run up to four hours, and a single battery lasts approximately 30 hours.
Weighing just a few ounces and free from wires or heavy components, Firefly is built to go wherever recovery is needed:
During flights or long drives
Between back-to-back training sessions
While working at a desk
Post-surgery or injury, under clinical guidance
The adhesive patches and adjustable intensity settings make it adaptable for individual needs and routines.
Firefly is already in use across professional sports and clinical settings:
Elite athletes in the NFL, NBA, and Olympic teams
Physiotherapists and trainers integrating it into rehab protocols
Endurance athletes recovering between training blocks
Active individuals looking for better recovery from workouts
It’s also gaining traction among post-operative patients seeking to reduce swelling and improve circulation during early recovery phases.
