How a Video Game Inventor Ended Up Revolutionizing Muscle Recovery | Jeff Maier

Before Jeff Maier became an inventor in the health and wellness industry, he was writing software for GPS satellites and developing video games for the Commodore 64. He even helped create a surfboard controller that let players experience surfing through a video game.
So how did someone who spent his early career developing software and gaming technology end up creating a device designed to help people with muscle stiffness and recovery?
Jeff's journey took an unexpected turn when his interest in yoga, physical health, and engineering led him to explore the effects of high-frequency vibration on the human body. The two of us discuss how he went from video games to co-founding Rapid Release Therapy.
