What Compex does

Compex is a Switzerland-founded (1986) e-commerce and physical-retail brand specializing in electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) devices for muscle recovery, performance, and drug-free pain relief. Its product portfolio spans three core EMS ranges (SPORT/SP, FIT, and CoreBelt) plus adjacent recovery hardware including the Ayre wireless compression boots, Fixx percussion massage guns, Ion and Molecule vibrating rollers, and ComfortTENS wraps with heat therapy, supported by consumables (replacement electrodes), kinesiology tape, recovery socks, and compression supports. The Compex Coach companion app provides a digital layer over the hardware ecosystem.

The company operates a hybrid go-to-market: direct-to-consumer e-commerce through compex.com (with localized storefronts for USA, South Africa, and LATAM), a global network of 254+ physical retail locations spanning specialty fitness retailers (Decathlon, Cisalfa, Forum Sport, FitShop), department stores (El Corte Ingles), and medical/wellness distributors, and B2B supplier partnerships with professional sports organizations such as Chelsea FC Women. Revenue mechanics are predominantly one-time hardware sales at price points ranging from $83.99 (ComfortTENS wraps) to $1,468 (SP 8.0 WOD Edition), supplemented by recurring consumables repurchase. Compex has been a subsidiary of US-listed medical technology company Enovis, and serves both consumer and professional athletic segments across more than 40 countries.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Chattanooga (DJO / Enovis): Chattanooga is a sibling brand within Enovis (Compex's parent) and a broad incumbent in clinical rehabilitation and electrotherapy equipment, sharing corporate resources and the electromedical device category but addressing a primarily clinical/physical-therapy buyer.
• HoMedics: HoMedics is a broad incumbent in consumer personal-care wellness devices including massage tools, TENS units, and pain-relief products, competing with Compex at mainstream retail price points across mass-market channels.

Emerging players

• Bob and Brad: Bob and Brad is a creator-led brand offering TENS/EMS devices and massage guns targeted at pain relief and home recovery consumers, competing with Compex's ComfortTENS and Fixx ranges through content-driven DTC marketing.
• RecoveryPump: RecoveryPump specializes in dynamic compression boots for athletic recovery, directly competing with Compex's Ayre wireless compression boots in the consumer pressotherapy niche.

Direct peers

• PowerDot: PowerDot offers app-connected EMS/TENS devices for athletes and consumers, directly competing with Compex's SP and FIT ranges on the smart, app-enabled muscle stimulation proposition.
• Marc Pro: Marc Pro is a direct peer in consumer and athlete-focused electrical muscle stimulation devices for recovery and performance, sharing the same core EMS technology category and athlete user base as Compex.
• Therabody: Therabody (maker of Theragun) is a direct competitor in the consumer muscle recovery and percussive therapy device category, targeting overlapping athletic and wellness consumers with a similar premium DTC-plus-retail go-to-market motion.
• iReliev: iReliev manufactures and retails TENS and EMS combination units for pain relief and muscle recovery, competing head-to-head with Compex's SP, FIT, and ComfortTENS product families at accessible price points.
• Hyperice: Hyperice is a direct competitor across EMS-adjacent recovery categories including percussion massage devices (Hypervolt) and Normatec compression boots, directly overlapping Compex's Ayre and Fixx product lines with strong pro-athlete endorsement strategies.

Others

• TheraGun (legacy / pre-Therabody brand holders): TheraGun's legacy domain/brand presence represents the original percussion-massage device category that Compex's Fixx line competes with; treated as adjacent ecosystem reference given Therabody now operates the unified brand.
