Work / Rest Selection
When selecting work and rest times
for manual programmes, the Warning
triangle is displayed if the Active Rest
period is less than:
Rest Time = Work Time * (WorkHz-16.66) /
16.66 seconds.
This is because muscle fibres can only
activate a limited number of times a
minute (about 1000) without becoming
fatigued.
Warning: Consult your healthcare
professional before altering these
settings. Correct settings depend on
your muscle tone and exercise goals.
Inappropriate settings
discomfort, undesired muscle balance,
or even muscle injury.
Intensity Selection
The aim of EMS is to produce powerful,
visible muscle contractions. The intensity
should be increased to roughy 3x the
level at which you can first feel tingling,
or to as high as you can stand without
causing pain.
Use a low intensity for the first session to
help you to understand how the machine
works.
Intensity should be increased throughout
a session and gradually over time. This
will help produce effective, pain-free
contractions.

Combining Voluntary
Activity
Voluntary muscular activity is more
effective than stimulation, and it may
improve progress
voluntary contraction with stimulation.
For best results, always try to contract
voluntarily during the work phases.
Frequency of Use
Ideally, use EMS programmes once every
two days for each muscle with a day of
rest in between. It is possible to work on
pairs of muscles, for example thighs and
abdominal muscles, treating one set one
day and the other the next day.
Regular use over a period of 4 - 6 weeks
should give good initial results,depending
on the body shaping, toning, sports
training or rehabilitation and recovery
needs.

Programmes

relieve muscle stiffness. Experiment with
the different programmes to find the one
that you find the most relaxing.
Programme 1 alternates between two
strong squeezing/kneading feelings.
Programme 2 alternates between slow
and fast tapping.
Programme 3 alternates between gentle
and strong kneading.
