F.A.Q

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1. 

Should I bathe before using? 

Not necessary, but it is a good hygienic habit to wash the feet before use.

2. 

What level of intensity should I use? 

There is no fixed intensity level to follow as each individual has a different level of  
electrical resistance. You should adjust the intensity to a level until you feel comfortable.

3. 

Will I get the best result from the highest intensity? 

Not necessarily. Using an intensity that is too high, beyond the body’s acceptance, will 
cause muscle fatigue and could aggravate an illness.

4. 

Why do I need to choose a high intensity? 

It may be your feet are too dry; you only need to wash your feet or to apply skin lotion 
to soften the skin. Or it may be that your feet or nerves have been damaged (inside 
or outside), you only need to strengthen the intensity or place electrodes on the parts 
where the feeling is weak.

5. 

What is the recommended time per session and how many times per day? 

It is recommended that you use the unit for 30 mins each time and no more than 
6 times every day. The total time one person should use the unit for each day, is a 
maximum of  3 hours. It is better to take a 30-min rest before starting another therapy.

6. 

Can I treat both soles and body at the same time? 

Yes, because the same waveforms will be used and there are separate intensity controls 
for soles and body.

7. 

Will I get an electric shock if my feet are wet? 

No. Because the electrical current is only AC12v, also the footpads are made of  
plastics.

8. 

Can I bathe immediately after the therapy? 

It is advisable to have a 10 to 15 minutes break before showering, as your body 
temperature will rise as a result of  improved blood circulation.

9. 

Can I use the device immediately after a meal? 

Yes, it will help the detoxification process.

10. 

Do I need to drink a glass of water after therapy? 

Yes, it will help the detoxification process.

11. 

Is the device safe to use on sprains and torn ligaments? 

Do not use the device on sprains during the first 6 weeks. Rest for 2 to 6 weeks before 
using the device on sprains. As for torn ligaments, it needs a 6 months rest before 
commencement.

12. 

Why do I feel sleepy when and after use? 

This is because both your body and mind are relaxed after the therapy.

13. 

What should I do if I find the stimulation too strong even at the lowest intensity level? 

It may be that your nerves are too sensitive. You only need to reduce the usage time and 
frequency.

14. 

My symptoms seem to have worsened since using the device. Is this normal? 

Do not worry. It is quite normal that symptoms such as aches, pains and swelling may 
be worse during the initial treatment phase. This may occur if  the body has not yet 
adjusted to the acceleration of  blood circulation and muscle stimulation. Medically 
it is called acclimatisation. You only need to reduce the session intensity, treatment
