Q: are there any side effects?
a:
If used on too high an intensity,
for too long or too many times in
the day, some users may over work
their muscles in the same way as
over exercise does, causing muscle
strain and sleeplessness. Start
conservatively and increase the
intensity and duration as your
body adapts.
Q: Should i bathe before use?
a:
It is not necessary but good hygiene,
especially the soles of your feet
is important.
Q: Do i need to add special creams to
the soles of my feet before use?
a:
It is advisable to moisturise the soles
of your feet before use. This will
maximise the therapeutic effects but
special creams are not required.
Q: How long and often should i use
the device?
a:
We recommend that you use the
device for 0 minutes a day and up
to a maximum of six () times a
day. You will only keep feeling the
benefits of the device if you use it
on a regular basis. We recommend
up to a total of three () hours per
day and leave regular intervals
between each session.
Q: Why sometimes do i need a higher
intensity level to feel the electrical
impulses?
a:
If your feet are dry, cold or your
body is dehydrated you may need
to use a higher intensity level to
feel the same effect. This can be
offset by moisturising the soles
of the feet and ensuring that you
drink plenty of fluid. Also, if you
have an injury (internal or external)
or nerve damage (in the case of
stroke patients or diabetics) you may
need to increase the intensity level.
Alternatively, you can also enhance
the stimulation by adding the
electrode pads to the area that has
a weak sensation.
Q: is it dangerous to use the
circulation Booster
®
with
moisturised feet?
a:
No, the device’s electrical current
has been stepped down to only
DC V. Also, the foot pads are made
of rubber too for added protection.
Q: can i use the foot pads and
electrode pads at the same time?
a:
Yes, you can use both at the same
time to enhance your treatment
sessions or independently of each
other. Please refer to the quick set
up guide for usage instructions.
You can also purchase glove
applicators for your hands.
Q: can i use the device immediately
after a meal?
a:
It is recommended to have a
0 minute interval before use.
Q: Do i need to drink fluid before
using the device?
a:
It is advisable to keep hydrated and
drink fluid before and after treatment
(this excludes alcoholic beverages).
Q: Sometimes why do i feel tired and
sleepy after the treatment?
a:
This is because you have been working
your muscles and increasing your
circulation so your body and mind are
relaxed. Nerves in the feet connect
to a region in the base of the brain
responsible for sleep, relaxation
and rejuvenation.
Q: What should i do if the stimulation
is too strong even at the lowest
intensity levels?
a:
Start off the ‘SOLE’ intensity level at
1 and work up slowly until you can
feel the mild electrical impulses;
the stimulation should always be
set at a comfortable level for your
requirements. You can always reduce
the time of the treatment as well.
Q: My symptoms have worsened since
using the device. is this normal?
a:
This is nothing to be duly concerned
about. It is quite normal that
symptoms may worsen during the
initial treatment phase before getting
better. This may occur if the body has
not yet adjusted to increased muscular
activity and blood circulation.
Medically it is called “acclimatization”.
If this occurs, simply reduce the
intensity level and the duration of the
treatment; this will reduce the initial
symptoms and they will disappear
over time.
Q: is the circulation Booster
®
safe for everyone?
a:
There is a wide body of evidence
surrounding the efficacy and safety
of Electrical Muscle Stimulation
(“E.M.S”) which is traditionally
the realm of physiotherapists.
Nevertheless, please consult the
cautions and contraindications section
of this user’s manual prior to use.
Q: How long do i have to use the device
before i will notice results?
a:
Everyone’s body will react slightly
differently to the therapy but you
should notice significant improvement
within four () weeks of daily
treatment. If you’ve suffered from your
ailment for a long time it may take
longer to notice improvement. Please
remember that like all exercises and
therapies, if you stop using the device
you will stop receiving the benefits.
