Selecting the Therapy Intensity Level
This device off er a maximum of 25 intensity levels.
The intensity of the electrical current determines the number of working fi bers
in the stimulated muscles. The lower the current intensity the lower the number
of working fi bers in the muscle. The higher the current intensity the greater the
number of working fi bers in the muscle.
If using the device for help with temporary relief of pain associated with sore and
aching muscles then you will fi nd that setting the current intensity to your own
comfortable and pleasing level will give you much satisfaction. This level is diff erent
for each user so adjusts slowly and accordingly.
If you desire to stimulate healthy muscles (EMS) in order to improve and facilitate
muscle performance then you want to achieve a signifi cant number of working
fi bers. You require a minimum intensity (approx. 30mA) to accomplish this .
This can be achieved relatively quickly (2 to 3 sessions) by progressively increasing
the intensity during the session. Once this threshold is reached, continue to
progressively increase the current intensity making the session more eff ective.
