Do you have a question about the PlayMakar MVP+ and is the answer not in the manual?
Simulates elbow technique for myofascial trigger point release on soft tissue.
Simulates dual thumb shiatsu for large muscle groups like back or spine, enhancing healing.
The PlayMakar® MVP+ Percussion Massage System is a professional-grade device designed for targeted therapy to improve freedom of movement and enhance performance. It utilizes percussion massage, which delivers rapid, short strokes deep into muscle tissue to release lactic acid, pain, and tension. This type of massage helps improve blood circulation, increase range of motion, stimulate muscle growth, enhance recovery, and decrease stress. The device also incorporates vibration massage, which uses an up-and-down movement on muscle groups to soothe or stimulate soft tissues, depending on the applied speed and pressure.
The MVP+ features QUIETVYBE™ Technology for a quieter operation and patent-pending ProTips™ with EchoFlex™ Technology for effective and comfortable treatment. The device is intended for adult use only and should be used on dry, clean body surfaces with light pressure for less than one minute per body area, for a maximum of 30 minutes at a time. A rest period of at least 15 minutes is recommended between uses. It is designed for soft tissue areas and should not be used on hard or bony prominences, or on the head. Users experiencing pain or discomfort should discontinue use immediately. Bruising can occur, and the device should not be used on bruised, contused, rash-affected, irritated, or injured skin areas until fully healed. Care should be taken to avoid contact with fingers, toes, hair, and other body parts to prevent pinching or entanglement. The device should not be used under a pillow or blanket to prevent overheating.
The MVP+ is equipped with a powerful brushless motor and offers a 14 mm stroke length. Its repositionable tool head receiver allows for easy attachment and removal of various massage heads. The device features a cone-shaped ergonomic grip for comfortable handling. It is powered by a rechargeable Lithium-ion battery, providing up to 3.5 hours of use per charge, and includes a 4-bar power indicator. The touchscreen display features a play/pause function and a SpeedLock™ patent-pending feature that locks the RPMs, preventing accidental changes to the intensity level. The device has 6 intensity levels, ranging from 1000 to 3000 RPM, and boasts a soft-touch matte black finish, weighing only 2.3 lbs.
The MVP+ comes with several ProTips™ with EchoFlex™ Technology, each designed for specific therapeutic needs:
Optional accessories are also available, such as the GlidePro™ Roller Massage Head and the ShocDuo™ Absorption & Reverberation Massage Head. The GlidePro™ Roller Massage Head simulates the elbow stripping technique used in massage therapy, delivering continuous pressure across narrow bands of soft tissue to release myofascial trigger points. The ShocDuo™ Absorption & Reverberation Massage Head is designed to simulate the dual thumb shiatsu massage technique, providing a low-intensity impact for vigorous massage to enhance tissue healing and freedom of movement, ideal for targeting large muscle groups like the back or along the spine.
To operate the MVP+, users first switch the device to the ON position at the base of the handle, which illuminates the touchscreen display. Intensity levels can be increased or decreased using the (+) and (-) buttons, respectively, with blue bars on the display indicating the current speed or RPM level (0-6). To prevent overheating, treatment sessions at level 6 should be limited to 10 minutes, followed by a 3-5 minute device shutdown before resuming therapy. The play/pause button allows for temporary discontinuation and resumption of therapy. The SpeedLock™ feature can be activated by simultaneously touching and holding the (+) and (-) buttons for 3 seconds, which locks the screen to the desired intensity level, indicated by a lighted lock icon. Unlocking is done by repeating the same action until the icon disappears.
For maintenance, the MVP+ should be kept completely dry and never immersed in water or placed in high humidity areas. It should be kept away from liquids and heat sources. The ventilation openings must be kept free of debris, dust, dirt, sand, or liquid. The device should only be charged with the supplied two-pronged, double-insulated 24VDC MVP+ charger (model # MX24W1-2401000U). It should not be charged overnight or left unattended while charging or in use. After charging, the charger should be unplugged from the MVP+ battery handle before use. The MVP+ should not be dropped, disassembled, dismantled, altered, or have its battery removed, as this will void the warranty and could result in damage or injury.
Charging the battery involves inserting the DC connector into the 24V adapter charging port and the AC connector into a standard 110-120V wall outlet. The battery indicator on the touchscreen will blink and show the number of bars, with 3 white bars indicating 70-100% charge, 2 white bars 30-70%, and 1 red bar 1-30%. No bars indicate 0% power. Charging is complete when all 3 white bars are present. A full charge typically takes up to 3 hours.
The PlayMakar® MVP+ Percussion Massager comes with a 1-year warranty from the date of purchase, covering defects in material or workmanship. An extended warranty is available for devices registered online. Consumable items like massage heads and AC adapters are guaranteed to be free from defects at the time of delivery. The warranty does not cover damage from failure to follow operating instructions, accidents, abuse, alterations, or unauthorized disassembly. PlayMakar reserves the right to repair or replace the unit at its discretion.
