Los Angeles-based pioneer of patented wearable recovery technology, Myovolt is launching new products exploiting focal vibration to massage muscles, stimulate blood flow, promote localised circulation, relieve soreness and increase flexibility for athletes on the move. Using the products for ten minutes can reduce muscle and joint soreness by up to 70%.

The company’s arm, shoulder, lower back, and leg units are all equipped with module, with vibration software and electronics technology embedded in a soft, size-adjustable package designed to conform comfortably to the body to deliver clinical-grade results during warm-ups and cooldowns.

“We’ve created clothing with physiotherapy benefits built-in,” said Myovolt co-founder, Steve Leftly. “The Myovolt module is lightweight and easy to operate with one-touch controls, so it can be used anywhere and immediately after an intense training session to reduce soreness and alleviate DOMS – delayed-onset muscle soreness. The wearable recovery therapy category is growing fast and is set to become the next generation of sports technology.”

The team has a proven track record in this area. Over the last 20 years, it has developed garment-integrated electronics and wearable tech for NASA, the US military and global brands including Apple, Adidas, and Nike. The team’s work with these major sportswear brands led it to create the world’s first performance-enhancing garments for elite athletes, produced exclusively for winning Olympic teams. This technology is now available to everyone, validated by years of research and independent clinical studies supporting the physiological benefits of vibration therapy.
