Electrodes
Body Positionning and Voluntary Start of
the Contraction Phase
Sit and place a rigid (but comfortable) object
between your knees
Strongly contract your adductors, while
vigorously trying to bring your knees together
Sit. The voluntary movement phase can be
done in two ways:
• statically – immobilize your knees
• dynamically – to emphasise the treatment
with movement, using an object to create
a resistance
Strongly contract your quadriceps while trying
to extend your legs
Lie down on your stomach or stand up.
Important note: this treatment requires very
good muscular qualities and is not compatible
with certain morphologies.
Vigorously contract your muscles to try to close
your buttocks while trying to bring your thighs
behind your back

Abdominals Lie down on your back, which can be slightly
raised. The voluntary movement phase can be
done in two ways:
• statically, to simply start the muscular
contraction phase
• dynamically, to associate the treatment with
sit-ups. In this case, always work with your
knees bent so as to not accentuate the
lumbar region arch (lordosis)
Strongly contract your abdominal muscles,
while vigorously trying to raise your head and
shoulders from their support

Sit. Important note: it is necessary
to have strong muscles to use this method.
In case of repeated failure, we recommend use
of the recommended placement for combined
stimulation of the low back muscles and erector
spinalis. In this case, always take care to
position the electrodes at the level of the dorsal
region muscles, as shown in the picture.
