Contraindications
Shiftwave is designed to improve your well-being, but first it's important to ensure it’s safe for your use.The vibrations are similar to what you'd feel during intense exercise or when riding a motorcycle.
Here are some of the contraindications you should be aware of:
Do NOT use Shiftwave if you:
- Are pregnant
- Have a retinal tear or detachment
- Have blood clots or thrombosis
- Have unstable angina
- Have epilepsy or are prone to seizures.
Consult your doctor before using Shiftwave if you:
- Have a heart condition
- Recently had surgery
- Have a surgical implant (e.g., shunt, stent, mesh, pacemaker, aneurysm clip, venous filter)
- Have any condition that worsens with vibration or causes concern
About Vibratory Urticaria ("Runner’s Itch")
Some people experience itching from vibrations, scientifically known as Vibratory Urticaria. It's usually mild, one of our cofounders has it and now no longer experiences symptoms when using Shiftwave. To help, Shiftwave includes a control to lower intensity and reduce the chance of itching. However, if you have severe Vibratory Urticaria, we recommend not using Shiftwave.*
