Top athletes are using and endorsing the firefly™ device for sports recovery.
We have been incorporating the firefly™ device as part of our post competition recovery strategy for a few number of seasons. The firefly™ provides us with a recovery tool that is easy to apply and wear whilst it provides our players with a tool that gives them the possibility to recover quicker after games. For us this is considered crucial, especially in periods of congested fixtures. The simplicity of the device offers a solution that allows players to wear them during travel after games, thus providing optimal acute recovery. We always try and provide our players with strategies that allow them to be ready to perform at an optimal level and we consider the firefly™ to be part of this.

With rugby league accommodating such a demanding season, it is crucial at Hull FC we optimise the way our players recover. Introducing the firefly™ device has been significantly beneficial to us.

The firefly™ is now incorporated into our recovery process, contributing towards gaining that competitive advantage we all seek to achieve.

Over the last 4 years firefly™ devices have become an important part of our athletes recovery and travel strategies. The nature of track and field competition means that in order to be successful athletes are required to repeatedly operate at their physical best over the course of 2-3 days, and therefore effective recovery interventions are key. We have found fireflyTM devices to play an important role in helping us restore muscle performance in a fast and effective manner.

"When playing international sport it is the small margins that get you over the line. So whatever I can do to give myself the best possible chance of performing to my maximum ability, I will do it.

"Having spent the last four years of my rowing career as part of the national team, I’ve learnt that the smallest of variables can produce the most important and sometimes pivotal effects on performance.

While our training program is built to prepare us for this strain, making the most of recovery is hugely important between races. Part of my recovery strategy is using firefly™ devices.
