Learn More + Custom ProtocolsTraditional pain and wellness devices only address surface-level effects—working on outer layers like muscles and joints for short-term relief while deeper causes remain untouched. True recovery requires engaging all key layers of the body, including the fascia, nervous system, and subtle energetic layers that regulate balance and coherence.
The Recovery Pen's four natural modalities go far beyond surface-level relief, addressing root causes across both physical and energetic layers. Far-infrared energy, negative ion emissions, and magnetism—each concentrated and directed through a 24K gold acupressure tip—work together to support fascia mobility, circulation, nervous-system balance, and biofield coherence. This multi-level approach helps the body release tension, restore flow, and achieve deeper, longer-lasting results across hundreds of applications.
Experience noticeable comfort and balance in just minutes. Most protocols take only 3–7 minutes, making it easy to use anytime, anywhere—no cords, no batteries, no charging.
From fascia release and post-activity recovery to daily relaxation and nervous system balance, the Recovery Pen adapts to your needs with hundreds of meridian-based applications.
Handcrafted in Korea with care and precision. With over 500,000 units sold and original prototypes still in use after 25 years, the Recovery Pen is built to last.
The 24K gold-tipped acupressure provides a sharp, focused stimulation to skin and fascia trigger points which create a temporary neural reset in local pain circuits, helping nerves fire more cleanly.
The gold tip naturally amplifies the other three modalities (FIR, Negative Ions, & Magnetism) by acting as a conductor: it focuses magnetic field lines, channels far infrared radiation more efficiently, and attracts the flow of negative ions toward the tip—concentrating their combined effects exactly where the Pen touches the body and directing them deep into fascia, nerves, and surrounding tissues.
The effect feels like tension and 'static' in the system being cleared, allowing the nervous system to calm and fascia to release.
Inside the Pen are rare earth neodymium magnets (3000+ Gauss) precisely aligned to direct magnetic fields out of the tip in a linear polarity.
Magnetic fields enhance local microcirculation—supporting oxygen and nutrient flow, lymphatic movement, and ion exchange around nerves and fascia.
The Pen contains a proprietary crystal-infused ceramic–carbon compound that naturally emits FIR peaking in the 9–10 μm range—with 9.5 μm known as the wavelength our bodies absorb most effectively.
How it works (naturally powered FIR): the compound absorbs your body’s own infrared heat and re-emits it in a more concentrated, coherent stream through the Pen tips.
Key benefits of pinpoint FIR at this optimal range:
Promotes vasodilation and nitric oxide release for improved oxygen delivery.
The crystal-infused ceramic–carbon compound also emits negative ions—similar to those found in forests, waterfalls, and caves—which are naturally drawn to the magnetic field.
These ions concentrate at the tips, where they interact with tissue.
Negative ion emissions are known to help:
Encourage overall tissue balance and recovery.

After having to withdraw from the US Open due to pain, the Recovery Pen played a crucial role in getting me back on the course the very next week. I now use it daily and always keep it close for any pain management needs. It has significantly reduced my reliance on pain medication and made a real difference in my life. I highly recommend the Recovery Pen for anyone looking to manage pain effectively and stay at the top of their game.

Real Results: Restoring Comfort After Months of Chronic Shoulder Pain
This client had chronic neck and scapula (shoulder blade) pain after seeing multiple doctors and healthcare professionals without any relief. I applied the Recovery Pen to the upper neck and scapular region.
In the photo, you can see a red area on the shoulder blade—this is a normal tissue response where the Pen was used. The accompanying thermal image shows a bright white region in the same area. The white color represents a significant heat response to the tissue which promotes vasodilation (increased blood flow) to stimulate the body's healing response and ultimately decrease the chronic inflammation in this area.
Following this session, the client reported he felt more relief of discomfort, than he had experienced from any other approach in the prior six months.
Born from Dr. Chi Kyung Kim's love and determination to help his wife recover, the original Pen sparked a worldwide movement in natural recovery. Today, over 500,000+ people around the globe trust The Recovery Pen — redesigned for modern life, engineered for strength, and built to last.

Frequently Asked
Questions
What is The Recovery Pen?
The Recovery Pen creates a new category of frequency-based recovery by combining the intelligence of ancient meridian science with modern material engineering. It is the first handheld tool to deliver targeted negative-ion emissions and pinpoint Far-Infrared energy through a precision-engineered 24K gold acupressure tip—while requiring no batteries or cords. Powered by your body’s own natural energy field, it channels and concentrates four synergistic forces—Far-Infrared, magnetism, negative ions, and gold-tipped acupressure—to activate circulation, relieve pain, improve mobility, and restore balance exactly where the body needs it.
How does it work without batteries?
Instead of relying on batteries or cords, the Recovery Pen draws subtle electrical energy from the skin, which is channeled through a 3,000-gauss magnetic field to activate its crystal–ceramic–carbon composite core, whose properties naturally emit Far-Infrared energy and negative ions. These emissions are amplified and focused through the gold tip to create localized Far-Infrared, magnetic, and ionic fields, forming a portable, pocket-sized system that supports fascial release, nervous-system balance, biofield coherence, and rapid pain relief—helping the body remember how to heal itself.
Is it safe to use every day?
Yes. The Recovery Pen is non-electrical, non-invasive, and designed for daily use. Most people use it once or twice per day for a few minutes at a time. Because it works through natural fields and gentle acupressure, there’s no limit to how often it can be used — just follow your body’s comfort level.
What does it feel like when using it?
Most people notice sensations ranging from a gentle, warm feeling to a more noticeable, energetic, or tingling sensation. The intensity varies by person and by area of the body. You control the intensity by how long you hold the Pen on the point as well as how much pressure you apply.
Areas holding more tension, inflammation, or “trapped energy” may feel stronger at first, which simply means the Pen is engaging where it’s needed most. As the tissue and energy balance, those sensations typically soften or disappear, showing that the area has begun to harmonize.
How long are sessions?
Session length depends on how many areas you’re working on. Each protocol generally lasts about 3 to 7 minutes, with each point or placement held for 15 to 60 seconds. It’s not uncommon to feel noticeable relief after the first placement, depending on the area and your body’s sensitivity.
Some users do quick, targeted sessions before or after activity, while others enjoy longer system balancing relaxation routines. Start small and explore what feels best—there’s no wrong way to use it.
What’s the warranty and return policy?
Each Recovery Pen includes a 10-year warranty and a 60-day satisfaction guarantee. If you’re not completely happy with your purchase, you can return it within 60 days for a full refund—no questions asked. Our support team is always available to help with returns, replacements, or any questions along the way.
Who is it for?
The Recovery Pen is for anyone seeking natural recovery, balance, and performance—whether you’re an athlete, biohacker, wellness seeker, or clinician. World-class athletes use it to enhance mobility, reduce post-training soreness, and accelerate recovery. Practitioners and bodyworkers integrate it into hundreds of meridian-based protocols to release fascia, restore flow, and support the nervous system.
It’s also used by those looking to ease everyday tension, improve sleep, calm the mind, and promote biofield coherence. From pain relief and flexibility to relaxation and nervous-system balance, the Recovery Pen adapts to every body and intention—helping you feel aligned, grounded, and restored.
