Cautions
• Be careful when applying stimulation:
• over areas of skin that lack normal sensation. It may cause
skin irritation due to the inability to feel stimulation until the
intensity is too high - use a low intensity to achieve a gentle
muscle contraction, and/or use for a shorter time, to avoid
overstimulation.
• over the abdomen during menstruation.
• after recent surgical procedures as stimulation may disrupt your
healing process.
• If your tissues are likely to bleed following an injury such as a
muscle tear – it is recommended not to stimulate the immediate
area within the first 12 hours after sustaining the injury. Use a low
intensity and/or shorter time to avoid over-stimulation.
• after a long period of immobility or inactivity – use a low intensity
and shorter time to avoid overstimulation or muscle fatigue.
Look for signs of skin irritation (redness), bruising or pain. If in doubt,
consult your doctor.
• The long-term effects of electrical stimulation are unknown.
