Why Everything You've Tried Has Failed (And It's Not Your Fault)

Right now, as you read this, your leg muscles are dying.
Not from the injury itself. Not from lack of trying. From electrical starvation.

Every muscle in your body needs electrical signals to survive. When spinal cord injury severs the connection between your brain and legs - those life-giving signals stop entirely.

Your leg muscles literally begin to starve.

Traditional therapy tries to force starving muscles to work harder. It's like whipping a dying horse and wondering why it won't run faster.

The result?

  • Months of grueling exercises with minimal progress
  • Watching your legs become thinner as muscle wastes away
  • Growing frustration as your legs refuse to respond
  • The devastating reality of becoming dependent on others for basic tasks

Meanwhile, your leg muscles continue to atrophy, day by day, as the electrical starvation deepens.

But what if there was a way to feed your leg muscles the electrical nutrition they're desperately craving?

The $15,000 Therapy That's Been Hiding in Plain Sight

In 1961, a Soviet scientist made a discovery that changed spinal cord injury rehabilitation forever.
Using electrical impulses, he could make completely paralyzed muscles contract with remarkable strength. Leg muscles that hadn't moved in years suddenly came alive under electrical stimulation.

The implications were staggering for SCI patients.

If muscles could be exercised electrically, spinal cord injury patients could maintain muscle mass. Atrophy could be prevented. Independence could be preserved longer.

But there was a problem: the equipment was enormous, expensive, and required trained technicians to operate.

For 60 years, Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) remained locked in spinal rehabilitation centers, available only during limited therapy sessions or to patients who could afford $200+ private treatments.

Spinal cord injury patients knew electrical stimulation worked - they experienced it during rehab. But they couldn't access it at home where consistency matters most.

Until now.

The Stepmend EMS Butterfly Pad contains the same therapeutic technology used in spinal rehabilitation centers - compressed into a device smaller than your smartphone.

How "Electrical Exercise" Rebuilds Leg Muscles When Your Spinal Cord Can't

Your brain controls leg muscles through electrical signals sent down your spinal cord. When spinal cord injury damages those pathways - the signals to your legs are blocked entirely.

NMES bypasses your damaged spinal cord completely.

Instead of waiting for signals that can't get through, it sends powerful electrical pulses directly to leg muscle nerves. These pulses cause full, natural muscle contractions - identical to voluntary exercise, but without requiring spinal cord function.

Your leg muscles can't tell the difference.

They contract, work, and maintain strength exactly as if you were performing perfect leg exercises.
But here's the breakthrough that shocked spinal cord researchers: Each electrical contraction prevents the rapid muscle atrophy that makes SCI recovery so devastating.

Published studies prove this isn't theory:

  • Spinal Cord Medicine Journal: NMES maintained 95% of muscle mass in paralyzed limbs
  • Journal of Rehabilitation Research: 60% improvement in muscle tone after 12 weeks
  • International Journal of SCI: Significant reduction in muscle atrophy progression
  • Archives of Physical Medicine: Enhanced circulation and reduced complications

For the first time, you can maintain leg muscle strength even when your spinal cord can't send signals.

Picture Your Life 90 Days From Now

It's Tuesday morning, three months from today.

You look down at your legs and see definition. Actual muscle tone instead of the thin, wasted appearance that's haunted you since your injury.
You perform your morning transfer - smooth, controlled, confident. Your upper body isn't compensating for completely atrophied legs anymore.

When your caregiver arrives, something is different.

The transfers are easier. Your legs have substance again. There's visible muscle where there was only skin and bone.

Throughout the day, you notice the victories:

  • Your legs maintaining muscle mass instead of continuing to waste away
  • Feeling contractions when the pad stimulates - your legs responding again
  • Transfers that don't leave your caregiver exhausted
  • Looking in the mirror and seeing your legs look alive, not dead

Most importantly, you see the change in how you feel about yourself.

No longer watching helplessly as your body deteriorates. No longer feeling like a complete burden. No longer seeing nothing but atrophy ahead.
Instead, you see evidence that you can fight back. That your legs can stay strong. And something you thought was impossible: hope that you can maintain what you have.

This isn't fantasy. This is what happens when paralyzed leg muscles that have been electrically starved finally get the stimulation they need to stay alive.

  • Step 1

    Charge the device (2-hour charge provides weeks of use). When fully charged the blue light will turn off.

  • Step 2

    Attach the butterfly pad to clean, dry skin over target muscle and select your comfort level out of 6.

  • Step 3

    Apply to target area for 15 minutes and relax while the device exercises your muscles and relieves pain.

Trusted By Spinal Rehabilitation Professionals Worldwide

The Stepmend EMS Butterfly Pad delivers the same NMES therapy protocols used in leading spinal cord injury rehabilitation centers. The device specifications mirror professional-grade equipment used for SCI patients:

  • Therapeutic frequency range: 1-70Hz (clinical standard for paralyzed muscle stimulation)
  • Safe voltage output: 4.5V, 12mA (spinal rehabilitation specifications)
  • Medical-grade adhesive pads: Hypoallergenic and dermatologically tested for sensitive skin
  • Precision timing: 15-minute optimal session duration based on SCI clinical research

"I've been a spinal rehabilitation therapist for 18 years. Electrical stimulation is essential for SCI patients to prevent muscle atrophy, but access has always been limited to clinic sessions. When patients started using the Stepmend pad at home, I saw dramatic improvements in muscle mass retention. Patients who were losing muscle rapidly suddenly maintaining tone and definition. I now recommend home NMES to every SCI patient who wants to fight atrophy between therapy sessions."

Dr. Michael Chen, DPT, Board Certified Clinical Specialist in Neurological PT

Developed using the same protocols trusted by spinal cord injury rehabilitation centers worldwide.

After initial inventory is sold, the price returns to full retail ($99.90). Current stock remaining: 247 units.

Consider this: A single physical therapy session costs $75-150. One doctor visit costs $200+. A week in rehabilitation costs thousands.

For less than the cost of one therapy session, you can have professional-grade muscle rehabilitation available 24/7 in your own home.

Every day you wait is another day your muscles could be getting stronger instead of weaker.

The window for optimal recovery narrows with each passing month. Muscle fibers that could respond today may be gone forever if left unstimulated much longer.

This may be your last chance to access this technology at this price.

FAQs

How quickly will I see results?

Most users feel muscle activation during the first session. Strength improvements typically begin within 1-2 weeks of daily use. Significant functional improvements usually occur within 4-8 weeks.

Is it safe for my specific condition?

The Stepmend pad uses the same safe parameters as clinical NMES units used in hospitals worldwide. However, consult your doctor before use if you have a pacemaker, are pregnant, have active cancer, or have metal implants in the treatment area.

How is this different from a TENS unit I can buy elsewhere?


TENS units only block pain signals to provide temporary relief. The Stepmend pad uses NMES technology to actually contract and exercise muscles, building strength and function over time. It's the difference between masking a problem and solving it.

What if it doesn't work for my level of weakness/paralysis?

NMES technology works even on completely paralyzed muscles because it bypasses the brain entirely. However, if you don't experience meaningful improvement within 90 days, return it for a full refund under our guarantee.

How long do the adhesive pads last?

Each pad provides 20+ sessions with proper care. Replacement pad sets (4 pads) are available for $19.95 and can be reordered as needed.

Can I use it on multiple body areas?

Yes. The butterfly pad design works effectively on arms, legs, back, shoulders, thighs, and calves. Many users treat different areas on alternating days or purchase multiple units for simultaneous treatment.

Is this covered by insurance?

As a consumer device, it's typically not covered by insurance. However, many users find that the cost of the device pays for itself by reducing the need for ongoing therapy sessions.

What's included in the box?

Complete system includes: Stepmend EMS device, 2 medical-grade adhesive pads, USB charging cable, wall adapter, user manual, quick-start guide, recovery eBook (digital), and 90-day habit tracker (digital).

Ten weeks post knee replacement and I was still struggling to get out of my favorite chair. My physical therapist said my quad muscle had "shut down" from the surgery trauma. I felt like I'd wasted $45,000 on a surgery that wasn't working. My daughter found this EMS device online. Week 2, I felt my quad muscle activate for the first time since surgery. Week 6, I stood up from that same chair without using my arms. Last week I climbed stairs normally for the first time in 2 years. At 68, I finally got the recovery I paid for.

Hip replacement recovery was taking forever. Three months post-surgery and I was still using a cane, afraid to put full weight on my leg. Started using the device while watching evening TV. Four weeks later, my surgeon said I had the fastest muscle recovery he'd seen. I'm back to my morning walks and can sleep on my side again. The confidence in my new hip finally came when my muscles got strong enough to support it properly.

Total hip replacement at 72. Recovery was brutal and much slower than expected. Couldn't drive, couldn't shop, felt like a prisoner in my own home. My daughter researched home rehabilitation devices and found this one. The muscle activation was incredible - I could actually feel my hip muscles working again. Three months later, I'm back to my independence and gardening. My surgeon asked what I did differently because my muscle strength was exceptional.

Bilateral knee replacement left me feeling like I'd made the worst decision of my life. Six months later, I still couldn't get up from low chairs or climb stairs normally. My wife researched muscle stimulation therapy and ordered this pad. Today I walked down the aisle at my daughter's wedding without fear of falling. The entire family cried seeing me move like my old self. This technology didn't just heal my knees - it saved my sanity.

Eight weeks post-surgery and still dependent on a walker. My quad felt completely dead despite daily PT. Insurance was cutting off therapy sessions just when I needed them most. Started daily sessions with this device while doing my prescribed exercises. My orthopedic surgeon was amazed at my 12-week follow-up. I'm now hiking again and planning a trip to Europe I thought I'd never take.

Knee replacement recovery stalled completely. Four months post-surgery and my quad was still weak as jelly. Getting out of bed required planning and strategy. Started using this muscle stimulator daily while reading. The change was remarkable - within weeks I felt strength returning. Yesterday I jogged for the first time in 3 years. My physical therapist said she's never seen such dramatic quad reactivation in someone my age. Dancing at my granddaughter's recital next month.

Ordered this for my 84-year-old mother who was getting frail. She started using it religiously and within a month was steadier on her feet. I tried it for my chronic back pain and was amazed - my core muscles felt stronger than they had in years. We've now bought 3 more for the family. Best investment we ever made.

I'm an ICU nurse and pretty cynical about 'miracle devices.' Bought this for my stroke patient husband out of desperation. The science behind NMES is solid, but I didn't expect much from a home device. Three months later, he's regained 70% function in his affected arm. I now recommend it to my patients' families.

Chronic fatigue made traditional exercise impossible. Even gentle stretching left me bedridden for days. Stepmend lets me strengthen my muscles without triggering crashes. My muscle mass has increased for the first time in 5 years, and I have more energy than I've had since my diagnosis.

Incomplete T12 injury left my legs severely weakened. After 2 years, I'd accepted wheelchair life. Six months with Stepmend and I can stand for 20 minutes at a time. I've converted to a standing desk at work and my colleagues are amazed. My pressure sores healed completely.

I have a pacemaker and was worried about electrical devices. My cardiologist approved it after checking the specs. No interference whatsoever, and my leg strength has improved dramatically. Finally feel confident walking without fear of falling.
Peter P. June 2025

First two weeks I felt nothing and almost returned it. Customer service convinced me to try different pad placement. Week 3 everything changed - muscles started responding. Now at month 4 and I'm stronger than I've been in years. Patience is key with this device.

Dad has Parkinson's and limited dexterity. I was worried the device would be too complicated. It's incredibly simple - just stick and press one button. His tremors have reduced and he's more stable walking. Even helps with his freezing episodes.

After insurance stopped covering PT, I couldn't afford to continue. This device cost less than two therapy sessions but gives me daily treatment. My therapist was impressed with my continued progress and asked for the details.

Business travel made consistent therapy impossible. Stepmend fits in my carry-on and I can maintain my rehab routine anywhere. Hotel rooms, airports, even used it on a long flight. My recovery never stops now.

Original shipment went missing. Customer service immediately sent a replacement overnight at no charge and followed up to make sure I received it. The device itself works perfectly for my post-surgery recovery. This is how companies should treat customers.

Diabetic for 15 years, neuropathy in both feet was getting worse. Couldn't feel my toes and balance was terrible. Six months with Stepmend and sensation is returning. My podiatrist documented nerve function improvement. Still have diabetes but quality of life is so much better.

My husband was giving up after his stroke. This device gave him something he could do independently for his recovery. Seeing his arm muscles contract again brought back his fighting spirit. He's now doing regular therapy again and making real progress.

My PT actually recommended I look into NMES therapy but clinic sessions were $200 each. She reviewed the Stepmend specs and gave it her approval. Now incorporates it into my treatment plan. Professional-grade results at home.
