increases arterial flow and consequently aids the removal of allogenic
substances and helps to restore normal physiological conditions. Do not
position the electrodes close to inflamed areas. Daily application is
recommended, the number of applications is not defined; the program can be
used to reduce pain.
Session duration: 20 minutes.
