Therabody acquires smart muscle stimulator PowerDot
Therabody, a tech wellness innovator and the creator of the Theragun, announced it has acquired the smart muscle stimulator, PowerDot.
Benjamin Nazarian, CEO of Therabody, said: “The integration of PowerDot’s clinical technology complements and further expands our product line, making cutting-edge, natural alternatives to traditional medicine available to everybody. PowerDot’s technology is superior to its competition and has changed the way consumers manage pain and optimise recovery. We’re looking forward to working with Eric and the PowerDot team in order to grow this electrical stimulation technology.”
Therabody’s products and services are grounded in research and backed by science. Now on its fourth generation of Theragun percussive therapy devices, Therabody recently added the Wave Duo and Wave Solo to its suite of vibration therapy devices and relaunched RecoveryAir pneumatic compression technology. By adding PowerDot’s electrical stimulation technology, Therabody is expanding its portfolio of whole-body wellness products for any need.
Dr. Jason Wersland, founder and chief wellness officer of Therabody, said: "Electrical stimulation is widely used in the medical industry and has been proven to be incredibly effective in recovery and pain management. PowerDot complements our ecosystem of innovative products and is another efficacious way of helping everybody feel better naturally."
The FDA-cleared Class II medical grade device uses electrical stimulation to cause muscles to contract and release, increasing blood flow to help improve muscular strength and endurance, shorten recovery times, prevent injury, and temporarily relieve and manage pain. PowerDot’s Smart Recovery AI technology not only allows for the compact simulator to understand the user’s activity, but also connects to an intuitive mobile app that offers custom programs designed to address specific pain and recovery needs, including pad placement and recommended intensity settings, making personalised electrical stimulation attainable at-home, in the gym, or on-the-go.
Eric Glader, CEO of PowerDot, said: “I couldn’t be more excited to work with Therabody as we make electrical stimulation more widely attainable. Like Ben, Dr. Jason and the rest of the Therabody team, our sole focus is helping people feel better and empowering them to keep moving towards their best. There is still so much work to be done in the wellness category, and Therabody’s innovation, scale, and reach will help to grow PowerDot.”
