PainPod
From £89, painpod.co.uk
Pain’s not cool. To cope with it, many of us simply pop a painkiller or two, but that’s really not cool either. Thankfully PainPod, the selfstyled ‘physiotherapy in your pocket’, is here to save the day.
It’s a collection of contraptions – a PainPod Mi (£89), PainPod 3 (£319), plus extra applications for hands and feet – which uses the body’s ‘bioelectrical system’ to manage pain. Like a more intuitive TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) machine, but one that not only blocks out messages of pain from reaching your brain, but claims to also speed up recovery, too.
