increased and maintained at a level that produces muscle activity. In these programs pain relief is
achieved by triggering the release of endorphins, the body’s own pain relief mechanism.
If you find the muscle contractions with programs B and E uncomfortable, switch to program C. In mode
C the stimulus is delivered in bursts, i.e. a group of pulses rather than a single pulse. You will get muscle
activity at a lower intensity and thus you may find it more comfortable.
If you are using programs that produce muscle contractions, it is recommended that you also keep your
first treatment short (approximately 15 minutes) to check your response. Assuming no adverse reaction,
you can then increase subsequent treatment periods but subject to a maximum of 60 minutes at a time to
avoid muscle fatigue.
