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

voluntary contraction with stimulation.
For best results, always try to contract
voluntarily during the work phases.
Frequency of Use
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 body shaping, toning, sports training
or rehabilitation and recovery needs.

IFT
Programmes
IFT works in the same way as TENS but
delivers a continuous stimulation deep
into the affected tissue. In addition
to providing pain relief by the same
mechanism
that
physiotherapists consider that IFT's major
role is to accelerate the inflammatory or
healing rate. IFT is used to treat almost
any
condition
where
is
a
problem.
For
injuries;
arthritic
conditions;
and swellings, back pain, arthritis and
muscular pain.
IFT achieves this deep penetration by
using a 4000 Hz carrier wave to overcome
the skin impedance. TENS signals travel
around the top 1cm of the skin surface.
IFT signals travel almost directly between
