The Pulse Device sticks directly onto your muscle(s) and sends out localized vibrations that help you perform better and recover faster.

Localized Vibration Training (LVT) is the subtle evolution of Whole Body Vibration (WBV) Training, whereby instead of applying a vibration to the whole body through a vibrating platform, the vibrations are targeted on individual muscles. These vibrations are naturally occurring low-frequency sinusoidal vibrations, which increase muscle activity in the target area and improve performance, rehabilitation, recovery, and even preparation for exercise. In conjunction, these vibrations mimic a training/rehab technique called muscle tapping, where somebody gently taps on the muscle of focus in order to strengthen your mind-muscle connection with said muscle. Our product imitates this tapping feeling by creating a vibrational pulse directly onto the target muscle, dramatically improving the users proprioceptive function. 

The Pulse Device utilizes medical grade silicone gel adhesives that can last for up to 3 workouts. These adhesives are double-sided, moisture resistant, and easy to use. Once one side becomes less sticky, flip it over and use the other side for the skin! Since you get 20 adhesives when purchasing the bundle, you won't have to repurchase for many months. We encourage our customers to take advantage of the alcohol wipes that we provide because the longevity of the adhesive goes up substantially if you apply it on dry, clean skin. You can even apply water droplets to the adhesive to clean any dirt off of them and help them last even longer.

Our device is quite different from FES, EMS, or TENS. Our device is meant to stimulate skin receptors in order to cue your central nervous system to specific stubborn muscles. In addition, our device uses unique vibrational frequencies to stimulate the muscle itself and subtly increase targeted muscle activation and blood flow. Our device does not cause strong involuntary contractions like electrical stimulation, but gently helps you to engage the muscle of focus and facilitate better/stronger movement and function on your own. Think of our device as a proprioception and activation tool that helps you improve natural processes, instead of just causing artificial contractions that don't improve motor learning in the short and long term. Since our device doesn't trigger strong involuntary contractions, users can also continue to load the muscle with relatively normal weight while utilizing it for exercises, making it a much better alternative for building muscle (hypertrophy) than electrical stimulation where using larger weights can add substantial injury risk.

Absolutely! The Pulse Device serves as a great priming tool during warm ups, which is why many collegiate and professional level athletes use it before they hit the field. Localized vibration training has been shown to increase the excitability of resting muscles to the same level as contracting muscles, which prepares your muscles and gets them ready to fire properly during the workout/training to come. This helps to improve blood flow, strength, and even reduces injury risk. Many people utilize our warm-up settings prior to general activity or movement as well.

Absolutely! The Pulse Device helps fitness enthusiasts of every level take their workouts to the next level. Whether you're a beginner who is just getting started, an intermediate lifter who has been training for 6-12 months, or even an expert who has been working out for years, our product will help you feel, activate, and grow your muscles. If you're someone who feels like their plateuing, has muscle imbalances (ie. right bicep bigger than the left bicep), can't activate certain muscles, can't feel certain muscles working, can't break past genetic weak points, can't seem to get a good pump, or someone who just wants to intensify their workouts, our product is for YOU!

Yes, dramatically! High frequency vibrations utilized by the Pulse Device have been shown to reduce pain, tension, and muscle soreness, making our product a gentle and more portable and hands off alternative percussive therapy to massage guns.

Absolutely! The Pulse Device uses local vibrations that have been proven to improve muscle strength, motor function, balance, proprioception, activation, circulation, and more. It's great to utilize in conjunction with your rehabilitation protocols so that you can live and feel better than ever before.
