Pad Placement:
Never place pads in the following locations:
• Anywhere on or through the head • On the front or sides of the neck
• Across the heart (on the front of the chest) • From the front to the back of the chest
(transthoracic)
The Marc Pro Plus electronic muscle conditioning and pain device is comfortable and designed to be very easy to use.
There are two completely independent channels (A and B) and two self adhesive electrodes that stick to the skin per
channel. The two electrodes connected to channel A can be used on one muscle or group of muscles; while the two
electrodes connected to channel B can be used on another muscle or group of muscles.
It’s important to realize that electrode placement is not an exact science. Don’t be overly concerned with pin point
accuracy or matching any diagram exactly. The Marc Pro Plus was designed to be simple to use; you don’t need to know
about motor points, trigger points, or any signicant anatomy or physiology. How your body feels and responds is most
important to choosing the best electrode placement.
To start, identify the muscle that you would like to condition, help recover or address pain after activity. Think about a
potential weak link (what gets tired rst and recovers last). If it’s a single muscle place an electrode at either end of the
muscle or above and below the muscle belly (the most dense central part of the muscle). If you want to activate more
than one muscle with a single channel then place one electrode on the belly of each muscle and apply low frequency
stimulation (e.g., one electrode on the most dense part of your left trap and one electrode on the most dense part of your
right trap). If you are experiencing pain in your joint, take two electrodes and sandwich that joint and apply high frequency
stimulation through it. “Low frequency” stimulation includes all frequencies under 20Hz, “high frequency” is all frequencies
20Hz and above.
