Microcurrent

flows in the body. These can be
affected by earlier surgical scars

distance from the present pain. It is
possible to clear the body of these
"blocks". Try covering the scar with
the electrodes or, on larger scars,
putting one electrode at each end,
and treating for 10 minutes four
days in a row.
"unblocks" your body's electrical

and the pain may also temporarily
increase. After treating the scar,
allow time to treat the painful area
as well.

TENS Pad Placement
The easiest way is to apply the electrode
pads around/near the source of the pain.
TENS activates the nerves best if it travels
along the nerve rather than across it. So,
place one pad further from the spine
than the source of the pain, and one
closer. If the pain is in, or close to, your

spine you can place one pad either side
of the spine.
Note: See examples of positioning
in the instructions enclosed with
your electrode pads.
EMS Pad Placement
Electrode placement for EMS is important
for obtaining the best results.
Place two electrode pads over the bulk of
the muscle, with one electrode over the
muscle's motor point. The motor point
is the area on the skin that is located
closest to the motor nerve's entry into the
muscle – about 1/3 of the way down the
muscle from the spine. Here, it is easiest
to trigger a contraction by electrical
stimulation.
Experiment by moving the electrode
pads across the skin until you locate
the point over the muscle that gives the
cleanest contraction.
Note: The + electrode pad needs
to be plugged in to the red lead
wire connector, the – pad to the black
lead wire connector.
