We’ve been hearing a lot about PlayMakar, a burgeoning brand that’s making quite a bang in the world of sport.
They recently launched a range of products designed to help athletic and fitness-oriented people optimize their training and recovery.
Speaking to Wes Coleman, EVP of PlayMakar we wanted to find out more about their products and how they’re breaking down barriers to bring professional tools to the masses.
Q: Please explain in one sentence what the PlayMakar brand is all about?
PlayMakar develops FDA cleared, medical grade athletic training and recovery tools for professional athletes, trainers, sports medicine doctors, therapists, and consumers.
Q: Tell us a little more about your product line, objectives and commitments?
PlayMakar is a comprehensive line of sports recovery products designed to help athletic and fitness-oriented people achieve their best by optimizing warm up, training, and recovery.
There are plenty of companies out there providing standard training and recovery equipment like rollers, ice bladders, or vibration devices.
We are differentiating ourselves by providing true medical grade products that are clinically proven and tested.
These technologies were prescribed by doctors and medical professionals for years and we are now bringing them to the masses ‘over the counter’.
We are committed to innovation, elevated customer experiences, and developing training tools that help you reach your performance goals and recover faster, just like the pros.
These technologies were prescribed by doctors and medical professionals for years and we are now bringing them to the masses ‘over the counter’.
Q: What was the motivation behind starting PlayMakar?
As a college athlete at the University of Oregon, our CEO Mike Williams noticed that many amateur and collegiate level athletes did not have access to the same technology and devices that high level collegiate and pro level athletes had access to.
To combat the lack of accessibility caused in large part by the insurance reimbursement model in the United States, PlayMakar set out to develop a line of FDA cleared, clinical strength medical devices that would be available to everybody at a fraction of the price.

Q: Could you tell our readers a little more about these products?
PlayMakar PRO Electrical Muscle Stimulator:
Our PlayMakar PRO is the first of its kind, a truly wireless muscle stimulator that combines electrical muscle stimulation waveforms for muscle warm-up, strength, endurance, recovery and TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) for pain management.
PlayMakar PRO has 14 total programs, and can be expanded to run up to 20+ pods at one time.
PlayMakar SPORT:
The PlayMakar SPORT was designed to be the most highly effective device in its class and offers premium features like the large, backlit display screen and rechargeable battery.
The SPORT has 8 TENS & EMS (electrical muscle stimulation) programs, including a special “explosive strength” mode that is exclusive to the device.
PlayMakar MVP Percussion Massager:
PlayMakar MVP offers deep percussive muscle therapy that uses rapid, repetitive strokes to stimulate blood flow and heat.
Our 10mm stroke delivers an effective muscle treatment that is perfect for muscle recovery and safe warm-up.
PlayMakar Power Gel:
Aches and pains come with the territory. PlayMakar Power Gel gets rid of those aches and pains so the players can go harder for longer.
Our Power Gel is a safe, all-natural cool relief formula comprised of natural ingredients including Arnica, Burdock and 6% Menthol.
Power Gel applies easily and penetrates quickly for instant, cool relief.
Q: Anybody who visits our site regularly knows we’re super interested in TENS and EMS. Tell us what makes PlayMakar’s Muscle Stimulators different to other electric muscle stimulators?
While there are a handful of brands that offer genuine muscle stimulation, there are number of features that differentiate us while ensuring our prices are in-line with what consumers find affordable.
Our claim to fame is our advanced preset modes which include warm-up, endurance, recovery, explosive strength and pain relief.
PlayMakar was the first TRUE wireless muscle stimulator for both muscle conditioning and pain relief.
Q: It seems like PlayMakar has come a long way in a short space of time, what’s next for the brand?
It’s our quest to develop a complete line of recovery products.
We will continue to break down barriers and bring clinical strength medical devices to the masses at a fraction of the price.
Take our (aforementioned) PlayMakar MVP-1000 Percussion Massager as an example. This is our latest addition to the market.
