My daughter plays volleyball for the University of Toledo. Coach Wright introduced the girls to Firefly’s and they have been a game changer. One of the best products she has used for her knees. The only reason I had to give 4 stars instead of 5 is the battery life on the units. She is getting about 40 hours of therapy and then needs another. You really need to make a rechargeable unit. St a new unit every 2 weeks, the cost is prohibitive for the team of 18. Thank you for a great product to start.
Thank you for sharing this thoughtful feedback — we’re so glad to hear Firefly has been a game changer for your daughter and her team. We understand the feedback on battery life and are actively working on solutions to make the device last longer or become rechargeable.
This is an early review - I just started using the Firefly and I am already a believer. I am a runner and will be using it pre workout and races as well as for recovery and travel. Used it this morning for 1 hour, the day after a speed workout yesterday and my legs feel like I haven't run in 2 days. I have a 10 mile race this weekend and then I'm traveling to Berlin to run the marathon so I will provide an update after that. Wish me luck!
Thank you for sharing your early feedback — we’re so glad Firefly is already making a difference in your routine! Best of luck in your upcoming race and safe travels to Berlin, we’ll be cheering you on!
As an avid 50 year old runner I have been using the recovery bands for several years and my recovery time has been cut in half. I was recently diagnosed with late stage cancer and have been undergoing radiation daily and also taking testosterone deprivation medication, both of which are delaying my recovery times as I am still running. Since my treatment began I have started wearing my bands more often and for longer durations which has greatly assisted me in being able to maintain my fitness through this. I am not sure if I would even be able to run at this point if not for the Firefly recovery bands.
Thank you for sharing your story. We’re so glad to hear Firefly has supported your running and recovery, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
I've been marathon training and my partner has to drive long distances for work. I deal with sore and tired legs, and he deals with water retention and swelling. Both of us are seeing positive results afer just a short time. Super happy, will order more
Thank you for sharing! We’re thrilled to hear Firefly is making a difference for both you and your partner and that you’re seeing positive results.
Wore my Firefly Recovery on the long plane ride from Colorado to Italy before an 8 day trek in the Dolomites, and they were wonderful. Legs felt fresh, ready and strong! My husband and I own a local physical therapy and sports performance clinic in Boulder and plan to recommend this to our clients for recovery and travel.
Thank you for sharing! We’re so glad Firefly helped you feel fresh and strong for your trek, and we’re honored that you plan to recommend it to your clients.
As a professional soccer player, I’ve found Firefly incredibly helpful for recovery, especially after training sessions and during long travel days. After long flights, my legs often feel heavy and sluggish, and I sometimes experience swelling in my ankles and feet. Using Firefly has made a noticeable difference in reducing that discomfort and helping me feel more refreshed and recovered.
Thanks for sharing! We’re thrilled to hear Firefly helps you feel refreshed and ready after training and long travel days.
This device is awesome for recovery. I primarily use it for long flights when I have a professional game the next day! Keeps me ready for game day always! Is great for injuries as well
Thanks for sharing! We’re so glad Firefly helps you stay ready and feeling your best while traveling and preparing for game day.
In recent years I’ve struggled with my legs and ankles swelling anytime I travel. I would wear compression socks and do exercises to try and promote blood flow to lessen it but it would always still be a problem and take away from my trip. This last weekend I tried firefly for my flights and had ZERO issue! Unbelievable game changer. Instead of me chasing the swelling firefly got ahead of it and made it a non issue. I am so excited for this moving forward I can just enjoy my trips instead of feeling miserable!
We’re so glad Firefly made your travel experience more comfortable! Love hearing that it helped you enjoy your trip to the fullest.
Compression socks and I are NOT friends. They are hot, make me feel claustrophobic and leave indentations. When I came across an article about how firefly could help with circulation during flight, I knew I had to try them. First fight was 10 hour nonstop redeye to Europe. It took a little bit of a learning curve, but once we had everything so correctly, it only took about 15 minutes for us to forget we had them on. We slept a few hours, etc and upon arrival, we were in shock at how refreshed we felt. Not sure if it was sleep or the firefly, we tried on the day time flight home and same results. So impressed! We’ve now done 6 flights at least 8+ hours over the last 2 months - we are definitely customers for life!
Thank you for sharing this awesome feedback! We’re thrilled to hear Firefly has made long flights so much more comfortable and refreshing for you, thank you for your continued support!
I have been having some issues with my legs and numbness since a car accident 3 years ago. I have been undergoing some tests to figure out what we are dealing with. So when I knew I had a 5 hour flight ahead of us I was starting to panic. I ordered Firefly and am so grateful I did! I am seriously thinking I will use these on all my flights in the future. I could feel just a little pulse to my leg and I had no additional numbness or pain. I walked off the flight strong and less pain than I have in a long while. Grateful! Thankful!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re glad to hear Firefly helped make your flight more comfortable, and we love knowing it’s become a go-to tool for your future travels. Safe travels ahead!
I was a little skeptical from the start with all the hype about this product, but I can say now after using it for 2 months it is totally worth it. I’m going into my 7th professional basketball season and this is one of my favorite recovery products. Using it is simple and effective. Long days on the court and in the weight room making my legs heavy before games are gone. Amazing product!
Thank you for sharing your honest experience! We’re thrilled to hear Firefly has become one of your go-to recovery tools and that it’s making such a positive difference in your routine.
Thought this may be some hokey science but for whatever reason I sure felt better the next day after spending an hour wearing these.
We love hearing that you felt the difference after using Firefly! Sometimes the best “proof” is simply how much better your legs feel the next day.
I used on an almost 8 hour flight and I believe they helped tremendously HOWEVER the adhesive came loose on one and it fell off somewhere in the airport before my connecting flight. In addition, I had to keep making sure they were actually on .. as I couldn’t feel the pulsation. I believe it had moved and had to be repositioned. At $50 a pair I would expect them to stay on longer. I will use the straps next time to make sure I get the full benefit.
Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad to hear Firefly made a difference during your long flight. We also appreciate your notes on adhesive and placement — using the straps is a great way to keep the device secure and ensure consistent stimulation.
We’re sorry to hear your device fell off. While it may not have been the case for you, please note that if the adhesive comes into contact with water or excessive heat, it can become less sticky.
I have chronic neuropathy in my left leg (sciatica, numerous restorative foot surgeries, spinal issues and post-chemotherapy). And the am always looking for ways to minimize my discomfort. I bought these Firefly units to use on a recent long haul flight from Miami-Bali. They were easy to use and helpful, but I still experienced the symptoms that give me the most discomfort…swelling.
Thank you for sharing your experience with Firefly on your long-haul flight — we’re glad to hear you found the devices easy to use and helpful. While Firefly is designed to support circulation and recovery for athletes and travelers, it is not marketed as a solution for medical conditions.
I’ve been using Firefly Recovery for the past month and it’s made a huge difference in my recovery routine. The device is easy to use, feels great after tough training sessions, and really helps with reducing muscle soreness and overall performance. As an athlete, having a tool that supports faster recovery is invaluable, and Firefly delivers on that. Highly recommend for anyone serious about their training and recovery.
Thank you for the amazing feedback! We’re thrilled to hear Firefly has made such a positive impact on your recovery routine and training.
I brought these after seeing them online. I suffer from swollen legs. I wear flight socks for long haul flights. I recently took 2 long haul flights 9hrs to Canada and 18 hours to Thailand. These were my lifesavers. I had no swollen legs/ankles which is a miracle. Just don’t wear them through airport security as you’ll be strip searched like I was. Just wish they were rechargeable.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad Firefly helped keep your legs feeling great during those long flights. We also appreciate your note about recharging — we are working on longer lasting and rechargeable options for the future.
I love using the firefly after long runs. It really does make a difference in recovery time. My only issues are that it can be difficult to locate the right location on one of my legs to get the connection. My other issue is that it would be great if there was rechargeable battery option so that you are only buying new straps periodically which seems less wasteful. Ultimately, grateful for this tool during marathon training and will definitely buy again.
Thank you for your thoughtful feedback! We’re so glad Firefly has been a helpful part of your marathon training recovery. We also appreciate your input on placement and reusability—our team is actively working on making the devices rechargeable and longer lasting.
For placement, we recommend watching the placement video, but keep in mind that your legs can sometimes be at slightly different levels, so adjusting and trying slightly different positions may help. https://www.recoveryfirefly.com/pages/how-firefly-works
As a D1 college basketball player, being ready to play is the priority for all practices and games. Firefly is the easiest tool I have found helps my body warm up as well as recover after. I just throw them on before or after competition, which allows for my legs to get ahead of the game. Firefly is also great for long bus rides or plane trips by minimizing the toll that these have on my body.
Thank you for sharing! We’re so glad Firefly is helping you stay ready for practices, games, and travel by making both warmup and recovery easier.
as a full time fitness coach, i am on my feet literally all day everyday. i swear i go to sleep every night so sore even if it was a rest day from my own plan! my firefly recovery device has changed my recovery game. being able to simply strap it on and go about my life as usual (while actively recovering!!) has been insane! i truly don’t know how i would do without it now! if you’re looking to up your recovery game in a feasible way (much easier than cold plunges and massage gun time lol), check them out!
We’re so glad Firefly has become such a game changer for your recovery, especially with how active you are every day! Love that it fits seamlessly into your routine and helps you recover while on the move.
Using the Firefly Recovery device has helped me bounce back quicker from intense workouts and also keeps my legs from being heavy after being on a flight. The difference that I have seen in my legs since using them has been noticeable. This is a device that I plan to keep using as long as I am active.
We love hearing how Firefly is making such a noticeable difference for you both in training and travel! Thanks for sharing your experience — we’re so glad it’s become a part of your routine.
This is my second order and I gave half my first order to a friend to try. Even when my legs aren't overly tired, I use it to alleviate possible cramps.
Thank you for your continued support and for sharing Firefly with a friend! We’re glad it’s helping keep your legs fresh and ready.
I’ve always played sports and kept myself active, but recovery post competition/training was always a challenge. I’ve recently started training for a half marathon so I’m running longer than I ever have. Needless to say, my legs have been very sore and especially after an Achilles rupture. I’ve been using these fireflies for recovery and they are spectacular. My legs feel recovered within a couple hours of wearing the fireflies. I really wish I knew about these years ago-they would have come in handy after soccer tournaments, beach volleyball games, Spartan races, and cross fit competitions. I’m so glad I have them now to take on new adventures!
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad Firefly is helping you recover faster and stay ready for your training and adventures.
I started using the Firefly Recovery devices last year during my freshman season as a Division 1 gymnast, and it has completely changed the recovery game for me! I was struggling with some tendinitis in my lower legs, and the devices definitely helped with my pain and soreness. I highly recommend using the Firefly devices!!
Thank you for sharing your experience, we’re so glad Firefly has become such an important part of your recovery routine as a D1 gymnast. Keep crushing it this season, and we’re excited to continue supporting your training and performance!
Firefly has been instrumental in rehabbing my ankle after a second-degree inversion sprain. The peroneal muscles on the outside of the calf & foot, and nearby ligaments around the outside ankle bone bore the brunt of the injury, and are responding exceptionally well to the stimulation that Firefly provides, reducing soreness and restoring mobility. Also, the overall boost of circulation (blood, lymph, interstitial fluids) throughout the entire body had the added benefit of “awakening” the fascial highways/networks, resulting in un-sticking some longtime adhesions I had around the SI joint. This was totally unexpected! I don’t understand the mechanism, but it is a significant, far-reaching phenomena that pairs well with Somatic awareness and targeted muscle isolation exercises. It’s an exciting discovery for me, and I’ve relayed my positive experience to those in my immediate circle: ballet dancers, ice skaters, and bodyworkers.
Thank you so much for sharing your detailed experience — we’re thrilled to hear how Firefly has supported your recovery and overall circulation. It’s amazing to see how you’ve incorporated it into your routine and shared the benefits with others in your community!
I’ve been using Firefly Recovery after training, and it’s been a game changer. Super easy to use, totally portable, and I can wear it while doing other things. I’ve felt a big difference in how quickly my legs recover, I have less soreness and more energy for my next session. Highly recommend it to any athlete looking to take their recovery to the next level!
We love hearing how much Firefly has made a difference in your training routine! Thanks for sharing your experience — we’re excited to keep supporting your recovery and performance!
