OPTIMIZING RESULTS |
Positioning:
Be sure that there is no resistance against the Marc
Pro muscle contractions. Get into a comfortable
and relaxed position where the muscle can contract
as freely as possible. For the legs, a recliner type
position is ideal. For the traps and shoulders, try
to lean or lay back so you’re not having to support
those muscles in an upright position.
When to Use:
A short 10-20 min session before activity can be a
great warm-up. For the best recovery, start Marc Pro
shortly after activity completion or before the end of
the day. Using Marc Pro the next day or any time
after soreness has set in will still be effective, but
it will take longer to achieve the same results. For
improved conditioning and to proactively address
issues, use Marc Pro on the target muscles at least
three times per week for at least 30 minutes each
session.
How Long and How Often:
The best way to see more results is to use the Marc
Pro longer and/or more often. Remember that
recovery is not one size fi ts all. Sometimes 20-30
minutes will do the trick, other times you can see a
world of difference by using low frequency for hours.
Marc Pro low frequency won’t fatigue your muscles,
regardless of duration, but keep it convenient (e.g.,
if you’re watching a two-hour movie no need to stop
Marc Pro after 30 min; keep it going and if needed
turn down the intensity a bit).
Electrode Placement:
Use the book and online examples as much as
possible, but don’t get caught up in following those
exactly.
When using low frequency, make sure that your
target muscles are contracting. If the target muscles
are not being activated or if the activation is not
strong enough, reposition the electrodes to fi nd the
optimal placement. A slight adjustment can make a
big difference in muscle activation.
When using high frequency, make sure you feel the
“buzzing” directly over the painful area and bring
the intensity high enough to desensitize any pain
signals. The higher the intensity, the better the results
will be. The “buzzing” should feel strong, but within
your tolerance level. Never cause cramping or
muscle tetanization.
Electrode-Skin Interface and
Comfort:
Place electrodes on clean, dry, unbroken skin.
Removal of hair isn’t typically necessary, but can
help if you’re having a problem with adhesiveness,
comfort, or signal strength. Although the device
should often feel strong and even very intense, it
should not feel sharp or biting in any way. If this
occurs, fi rst check the condition of electrodes and
replace if overly worn. Next, try a slightly different
electrode position. A slight movement of electrodes
(even just an inch or two) can sometimes eliminate
an uncomfortable skin sensation. You can also use a
small amount of aloe based gel rubbed into the skin
beneath the electrodes to aid comfort.
