Firefly Portable Recovery Device

Description

Used by Olympians, professional athletes, and weekend warriors, this pair of Firefly Portable Recovery Devices provide a revolutionary new way to recover from workouts 3x faster by increasing full-body blood flow.
Unlike traditional recovery devices, Firefly doesn’t tie you down with wires and bulky equipment. It’s designed to move with you and fit into your active lifestyle.

Features:

• Recover Faster, Train Harder: This pair of Firefly Portable Recovery Devices are small and portable, so you can take them with you wherever you go.
• Stimulates Blood Flow: The portable devices send small electrical pulses to stimulate your peroneal nerve in your leg, creating a small foot “flutter” and increasing blood flow by 400%.
• More Blood & Oxygen: Increased blood flow means your muscles get more oxygen and nutrients to reduce soreness and help your body recover from exercise faster.

How to Use:

Step 1: Identify proper placement.

Firefly is easiest to place if you are seated and your legs are bent. To find the fibular head, start at your outer ankle bone and follow the side of your leg up toward your knee until you reach the bony spot, known as the fibular head. It will be found just below the knee on the outside of the leg. Your peroneal nerve will be found here.

Step 2: Apply Firefly

Peel off the plastic backing and save it to store the device later. Ensure the application area is clean and dry before placing the Firefly device. Stick it to your skin so that the raised indicator line (marked with arrows) is positioned at the center of the fibular head. The circular head of the device should be positioned towards the front of the leg, while the tail of the device is wrapped around to the back of the calf, just below the crease of the knee.

Step 3: Operate the Device.

Once you have the device secured in place, press the “+” button to turn on. There are 7 levels of intensity. The light will blink to indicate the level (2 flashes = level 2). Increase the intensity by pressing the “+” button or decrease by pressing the “-” button. Find a level that is comfortable while also providing a slight “flutter” of your feet. When finished, press and hold the “-” button 3 seconds to power OFF. After you remove the device, replace the plastic backing for storage.
