FIRMING
Indication
To be used as the main treatment for muscle firming. Firming
programmes represent exercise of medium intensity, and are aimed to
improve muscular density without causing muscle soreness.
Effects
To regain muscle firmness and restore the support function of the
muscles.
Electrodes Electrodes positioned as indicated according to the stimulated muscle.
See suggested electrodes placements on the fold out cover.
Intensity
Maximum tolerable stimulation energy, which is one of the key factors
for the effectiveness of the treatment. The higher the stimulation
energy, the greater the number of muscular fibres (motor units) working.
Try to gradually increase the energy level during a treatment session.
Option 2+2 If the patient experiences discomfort and pain during stimulation, the
2+2 function allows this programme (ch 1+2) to be combined with a pain
relief programme (ch 3+4).
