activity and blood flow and improving tissue oxygenation with an intake of
nutritional substances. Therefore, the positive effect can be amplified by
combining TENS with muscle stimulation of the area concerned.
Electrodes' positioning and intensity levels
The electrodes have to be positioned to form a square over the painful zone
by using the channel 1 and 2 as shown above in Figure 1 (red or black up or
down are not important for the therapy purposes, follow the indications in
the Positions manual). The intensity should be adjusted to a level between
the thresholds of perception and pain: the maximum intensity level is the
moment in which the muscles surrounding the treated area begin to contract;
over this limit the stimulation does not become more effective, just more
irritating, so it is best to stop before that point.
