Road Test

Dubbed a "portable physiotherapist" that you can take anywhere, PainPod is a drug-free, pocket-sized device which harnesses the body’s bioelectrical system to moderate and manage pain levels. It works by delivering bio-electrical nerve stimulation pulses through the skin to the nerve endings in the affected area, blocking pain signals from travelling to the brain. PainPod has a range of devices for different applications, including some specifically designed for hands and feet, but top of its bestseller list are the PainPod 3 and PainPod Mi. PainPod 3 has 12 treatments to choose from and 20 intensity settings; it’s also a 3-in-1 device, not only blocking pain, but also accelerating recovery and increasing performance levels. Meanwhile, the PainPod Mi is a tiny, ultra lightweight smaller version which is wearable all day, offering a 10 hour micro-current painless treatment, and with a touch of a button the device gives a 15 minute booster massage for immediate pain relief. Using either device is easy. PainPod 3 comes with pads of various sizes which you place on the affected area, then you simply switch it on, choose your desired setting, and let the device do its work. The feeling is akin to those beauty treatments you could get years ago to tone up flabby muscles, ranging from gentle tingling to intense stimulation. Although you may find you ache a bit during the treatment, afterwards your affected muscles will feel recharged. PainPod is an ideal travel companion for anyone who has ongoing pain. You can use the device while sitting on a plane or relaxing by the pool, and it’s small enough to pack into a handbag or carryon bag for easy transportation. Targeting a variety of different types of pain, PainPod is undoubtedly providing relief as as well a convenient, drug-free solution. And for travellers with ongoing pain it’s a godsend.
