Therabody, the parent of Theragun, has acquired the PowerDot, a smart muscle stimulator.
“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,” explained Benjamin Nazarian, CEO, Therabody. “PowerDot’s technology is superior to its competition and has changed the way consumers manage pain and optimize recovery. We’re looking forward to working with Eric and the PowerDot team in order to grow this electrical stimulation technology.”
The FDA-cleared Class II medical-grade device uses electrical stimulation to cause muscles to contract and release, increasing blood flow to improve muscular strength and endurance, shorten recovery times, prevent injury, and temporarily relieve and manage pain. PowerDot connects to a mobile app that offers custom programs designed to address specific pain and recovery needs, including pad placement and recommended intensity settings, making personalized electrical stimulation.
By adding PowerDot’s electrical stimulation technology, Therabody is expanding its portfolio of whole-body wellness products.
“Electrical stimulation is widely used in the medical industry and has been proven to be incredibly effective in recovery and pain management,” explained Dr. Jason Wersland, Founder and Chief Wellness Officer of Therabody. “PowerDot complements our ecosystem of innovative products, and is another efficacious way of helping everybody feel better naturally.”
“I couldn’t be more excited to work with Therabody as we make electrical stimulation more widely attainable,” said Eric Glader, CEO of PowerDot. “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.”
