Electrode Placement:
Use the book and online examples as much as possible, but don’t get caught up in following those exactly. Just make sure
that your target muscles are contracting. Or that high frequency is buzzing right where the pain is without causing any
muscle tetanization. If they’re not, adjust and try different placements until you nd what provides the best results.
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. Though the device should often feel strong and even very intense
it should not feel sharp or biting in any way. If this occurs 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
completely beneath the electrodes to aid comfort.
