Safety, Pressure, and Control | Recovery Lab

A robot that touches the body has to feel calm, predictable, and controllable. Therabot is designed around user control, pressure sensing, and firmware limits that keep the session bounded.

Therabot app interface used to control massage settings — The app gives the user practical control over the session while the robot works within bounded settings.

A simple principle

Therabot should feel controlled. Not surprising. Not aggressive. Not like a device doing something you did not ask it to do. Because Therabot is a motorized massage device, safety and control are not side features. They are part of the product architecture.

You start the session intentionally

Therabot is app-gated. A session starts through the app, not by accident. That matters for a device designed to apply pressure. The user should know when the device is about to begin, what mode is selected, and what pressure level is being used.

Pressure is measured, not guessed

Therabot uses force sensors under the rollers to measure contact pressure. The device also uses position and motion feedback to understand how it is interacting with the leg.

As it moves, the shape of the leg changes. Calf, shin, ankle, and thigh areas do not all behave the same. Therabot is designed to respond to those changes rather than apply pressure blindly.

Firmware limits matter

Therabot includes firmware-level safety limits, including pressure ceilings and shutoff behavior. The purpose is straightforward: no app mode, setting, or user preference should override core safety boundaries.

Safety cannot depend only on the user making perfect choices. It has to be built into the device.

Designed for adult leg use

Therabot is designed for adult legs. It is not designed for the neck, head, torso, or other body areas. It should not be used in ways outside the product instructions.

If massage or compression may be risky for you, ask a qualified clinician before using any device like this.

Therabot is designed as a wellness and recovery product. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition. If you have a medical condition or concerns about massage or compression, talk with a qualified clinician before use.
