How it works
Inside a electromuscular stimulation session.
Place the pads
Skin-safe adhesive electrodes are placed on either side of the target muscle or nerve pathway.
Set the mode
Depending on the goal we choose sensory-level (TENS for pain) or motor-level (EMS for muscle activation) settings.
Modulate signals
The current interrupts pain-signal transmission and drives fresh blood into the treatment area.
Retest and layer
We reassess range of motion and pair the session with adjusting, stretching, or manual soft-tissue work.
