Frequently asked questions

Who's the company behind Therapulse

Medical Technology Ltd, a UK based healthcare device manufacturer. MTL's head office is in Guernsey with offices in London and a fulfillment operation in Southampton.

Is Therapulse proven to cure restless leg syndrome?

TheraPulse has been proven in clinical trials to help alleviate movement of the legs from RLS. In the most recent study 88% of the patients surveyed experienced relief from the condition.

Is TheraPulse guaranteed to remove all movement in my legs?

No. The level of relief varies between patients and can range from complete removal of all movement for some to a reduction in others. As with all healthcare devices its effectiveness is dependent on the patient and can vary. Limb stability, a common measure of the severity of restless leg syndrome, almost always increases with regular use.

What do I do if it doesn't work for me?

Simple, every order comes with a pre-addressed label for returns so you can easily post it to us for a refund. We operate a 14 day money back guarantee for UK orders.

Will TheraPulse help me if my restless leg syndrome is serious?

In the most recent survey of 100 patients, the selection procedure chose the most serious cases. Many patients had previously had all the available treatments before being referred for the study. No participants in the survey had mild symptoms. 88% had relief using TheraPulse.

Can Therapulse be used for other disorders?

Yes, there are other variations of TheraPulse for conditions such as tennis elbow and patella tendonitis. Please contact us for more information if you're interested in these.

Can I use Therapulse anywhere?

TheraPulse is light, portable and safe to use at any time it is convenient. Many users use the device in bed to help them get to sleep as this is the period of maximum discomfort from the condition.

Can I use the device if I have a pacemaker/am diabetic/on medication

TheraPulse has no 'contra-indications' so is safe to use when pregnant, for pacemaker wearers and when on other medication. It should not be used if you have an open wound or you are under 16 years of age without supervision of an adult.

Can I use Therapulse with other treatments?

Yes. You can safely combine Therapulse with any other treatment. Therapulse is safe and side effect free and does not inhibit the effectiveness of any other treatment. A 1984 study in the Journal of Pain showed that combining other modalities (methods of therapy) with vibration therapy meant greater overall pain relief.

Is Therapulse usable for other areas of the body?

No. Therapulse is specifically designed to help manage the symptoms of RLS. We do have 'sister' products which are similar for other conditions. Please contact us for more information.

How long do the batteries last?

On a single charge the integrated battery is suitable for 3 to 4 treatments. Charging takes 6 to 8 hours.

How do you charge the device?

Push the charger plug fully into the green pad where it says 'DC' and plug in the other end of the cable into a USB socket. There is a faint red glow when charging and a bright green light when charged. Remove the charger cable before activating the device.

How do you use the pulse settings on the device?

Press and hold the on/off button to turn the device on. Repeated pressing of the button cycles through the pulse modes. Press and hold the button to turn off. When starting, the device will always start at setting one. When cycling through the modes after mode 10, the device returns to mode 1.
