Motive uses targeted neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) to strengthen the muscles that support your joints and spine. By activating and strengthening these muscles, Motive products aim to reduce pressure on the joints, ease pain, and improve mobility.

The Motive devices send comfortable electrical impulses through Therapy Pads placed on the skin over key stabilizing muscles, causing them to contract in a way that feels like a firm flex. With consistent sessions, these guided contractions strengthen the targeted muscles much like exercise. As those muscles get stronger, they provide better support for your knee or lower back, which can reduce stress on the area and improve comfort and movement.

Motive Knee focuses on the quadriceps—the muscles on the front of your thigh that act as shock absorbers for the knee joint. Weak quadriceps can increase load on the knee and contribute to pain, swelling, and stiffness.

Motive Lower Back targets the lower back and glute muscles that help support your spine. Weakness in these muscles can increase strain on the lower back and aggravate pain. By stimulating and strengthening the lower back and glute musculature, Motive Lower Back improves spinal support, reduces strain, and makes everyday movement more comfortable.
