Benefits of using PowerDot
Athletic performance
Accelerated Muscle & Joint Recovery
In order for an athlete to reach the highest level it requires a dedication to training. All potentially set back by injuries, soreness, and fatigue. PowerDot’s proven stimulation technology provides these athletes with customized programs based on their training to keep them healthy and moving forward. By increasing blood circulation, oxygenated and nutrient rich blood is delivered to the muscles to kickstart the healing process and improve overall recovery.
Supplement Training
For healthy and athletic individuals, adding PowerDot neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) to physical training has the capacity to further enhance strength and muscular adaptations. It has been used by professional athletes for decades, and largely considered one of their best kept secrets. So for those athletes looking to break through plateaus to the next level, PowerDot is a device that you must have in your toolbox.
Effectively Warm-Up
PowerDot’s proven stimulation technology is equipped with a potentiation program designed to warm athletes up like never before. These muscle contractions positively impact the mechanical performance of subsequent muscle contractions. This is called post-activation potentiation
Natural pain relief
Interrupt Pain Signals
PowerDot’s TENS program works on what is called Gate Theory. This scientifically tested theory explains that non-painful input (or nerve stimulation) closes the nerve “gates” to painful input, which prevents pain sensation from traveling to the central nervous system. This means your pain is temporarily relieved for a period of time after use.
Release Endorphins
At various frequencies TENS will promote the release of endorphins into the bloodstream. These are your body’s natural pain killers. Studies have shown that there is a noticeable reduction in pain over 30-45 minutes that will last up to four hours after the device is turned off. This creates a short term pain solution while our massage and recovery programs work to create a long term solution that in some cases can relieve pain all together.
Reduce Inflammation
The NMES technology creates an electro-induced hyperperfusion that may help to wash out and clear away cellular debris accumulated during the inflammatory response thereby decreasing pain. The utilization of TENS has also displayed a significant impact in decreasing pain associated with DOMS and reducing markers of inflammation.
Injury rehabilitation
Increase Blood Flow
The NMES technology creates an electro-induced hyperfusion that may help to wash out and clear away cellular debris accumulated during the inflammatory response thereby decreasing pain. In addition, this extra supply of oxygen rich blood provides the tissue with the necessary nutrients to improve recovery.
Re-educate Muscle
PowerDot neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) has the capacity to further enhance strength and muscular adaptations. When atrophy is present, the device will manually activate the muscles which reducate the neural pathways allowing them to once again start firing on their own. This is a great way to accelerate the rehab process and reduce downtime.
Relieve Acute Pain
PowerDot’s TENS program works on what is called Gate Theory. This scientifically tested theory explains that non-painful input (or nerve stimulation) closes the nerve “gates” to painful input, which prevents pain sensation from traveling to the central nervous system. This means your pain is temporarily relieved for a period of time after use.
