FAQ
What is the Rekka Pod? The Rekka Pod is a wireless EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) recovery device built for gym-goers and active adults. It sticks directly onto the muscle you want to target and sends gentle electrical pulses to stimulate contraction and relaxation — the same category of technology used by physios and sports clinics. Use it after training to support recovery, ease soreness, and feel ready for your next session sooner.
How is EMS different from a massage gun or foam roller? A foam roller is manual and only works the surface tissue. A massage gun is loud, hand-held, and needs you to actively use it. EMS stimulates the muscle from the inside by triggering contractions through the skin, hands-free, while you sit or move on with your day. No grip required, no muscle effort.
Who is the Rekka Pod for? Anyone who trains hard enough to feel it the next day. That includes lifters, runners, footballers, CrossFitters, and active adults who want shorter recovery windows between sessions. The Rekka Pod is a consumer wellness device, not a medical device — it is built for fitness recovery support.
Is the Rekka Pod safe to use? Yes, when used as directed. The Rekka Pod runs at consumer-safe intensity levels with multiple settings so you can start low and build up. Do not use it if you have a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device, if you are pregnant, on broken or irritated skin, near the heart, or above the neck. If you have a medical condition, check with your doctor first.
HOW DO I USE IT?
How do I use the Rekka Pod? Stick a patch onto clean, dry skin over the muscle you want to target. Click the puck onto the patch, press power, choose your mode, and set the intensity. Start at a low level and work up to something firm but comfortable. A typical session runs 15–20 minutes.
How often can I use it? Most people use it once a day after training. You can run shorter sessions on rest days to keep muscles feeling loose. Listen to your body — if a muscle feels overworked, give it a break.
Where on my body can I use it? On large muscle groups: quads, hamstrings, glutes, calves, biceps, triceps, traps, shoulders, lower back. Avoid the chest, throat, head, and any area near the heart. Do not place patches over joints, broken skin, or tattoos that are still healing.
How long does the battery last? The Rekka Pod is USB-C rechargeable and lasts multiple sessions on a single charge. A full charge takes around 2 hours. The charging cable is included in the box.
Do the patches need replacing? Yes. The electrode gel patches are consumable — they lose stickiness over time, usually after 15–25 uses, depending on skin type and care. Keep them on the plastic backing between sessions and store them somewhere cool to make them last longer. Replacement patches are available on the store.
WHAT'S IN THE BOX?
What comes with my Rekka Pod? Each kit ships with the Rekka Pod device, electrode gel patch, a USB-C charging cable, and a quick-start guide. Everything fits inside a compact case that slips into a gym bag, glovebox, or backpack pocket.
Can I add extra patches or accessories? Yes. You can add replacement gel patches or a carry case at checkout. Replacement patches are also available as a one-off reorder whenever you need them.
WHAT ABOUT RESULTS & EXPECTATIONS?
When will I feel a difference? Most people feel looser and less stiff during the first session itself. The bigger win shows up over the following days, when soreness from a hard session does not linger as long. Use it consistently after training for the clearest results.
Will it help with muscle soreness? Yes — that is exactly what it is built for. EMS stimulation supports circulation and helps ease post-workout stiffness so you can train again sooner. The Rekka Pod does not treat injuries or chronic pain. If you have a medical concern, speak to your doctor.
Does it hurt? No. The sensation is a buzzing pulse that gets stronger as you raise the intensity. Start low. You should feel the muscle working, not pain. If anything feels uncomfortable, drop the intensity or move the patch.
