Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Pocket Physio, exactly?
Pocket Physio is a professional-grade self-care tool that uses a specific, gentle vibration frequency to stimulate sensory nerves.
It’s informed by the Gate Control Theory of Pain—a well-established concept in neuroscience—and is designed to support your body’s natural system for processing discomfort.
It interacts with your nervous system, where pain perception is controlled.
How is it different from other massage tools?
Pocket Physio doesn’t use percussion, which is a rapid, pounding motion commonly found in massage devices that aim to push deep into muscle tissue.
Instead, it uses a specific, gentle vibration frequency designed to interact with sensory nerves, not just the structure.
This makes it smarter, gentler, more focused, and easier to use, especially on sensitive or bony areas where percussive tools often feel too intense or bounce off the body.
You stay in control of the pressure, placement, and duration—typically just 20–60 seconds per area.
How does the Gate Control Theory work?
When vibration is applied to the skin, it activates non-painful sensory nerve fibres. These signals travel to the spinal cord and can compete with pain signals.
According to the Gate Control Theory, this may help reduce how strongly pain is felt—by essentially “closing the gate” before the signal reaches the brain.
Where on the body can I use it?
You can use Pocket Physio anywhere on the outside of your body where you feel tension or discomfort—as long as the skin is intact and not inflamed.
Because it doesn’t rely on percussion or force, it’s especially helpful on sensitive areas and near bony edges—such as the jaw, under the skull base, around the spine, neck, and shoulder blades—where traditional tools may feel too aggressive or bounce off and lose contact.
Its thumb-shaped design helps you reach hard-to-access spots comfortably and with control. Due to its lightweight and compact design, Pocket Physio is easier to handle than many traditional self-care tools.
Do I need to know anatomy to use it properly?
Do I need to know anatomy to use it properly?
Not at all. Simply place Pocket Physio where you feel discomfort—no anatomy knowledge required.
Each device includes access to expert-led video tutorials at TheSelfCareHub.com, so you can learn how to use it safely and effectively—even if it’s your first time using a self-care tool.

Is it safe for daily use?
Yes—Pocket Physio is designed to be used throughout the day in short intervals. Its vibration is gentle and non-invasive. We recommend not exceeding 1 hour of total use per day.
Please read the included warnings and instructions, and consult a health professional if you have concerns or medical conditions that may affect suitability.
Will it hurt to use?
No—Pocket Physio is designed to be gentle and adaptable.
You can choose how firmly or softly to apply it, depending on what feels right for your body. Some people prefer a light touch on sensitive spots, while others use it with more pressure for deeper feedback.
Pocket Physio applies vibration through the skin, activating sensory nerve endings involved in pain processing. Depending on placement and pressure, it may also influence deeper nerve receptors in muscle, fascia, and connective tissue.
It’s about learning what works best for each area—and staying in control of the experience.
