To achieve the massage wave effect it is essential that you use 2
stimulation channels, e.g. the 4 stimulation electrodes. It should
be noted that one channel alone (only 2 electrodes) can be used
for joint pain, in particular tendonitis of the elbow or knee: A sen-
sation of suction under the electrodes.
Placing the electrodes: Place the electrodes (2 or 4 depending on
the extent of the painful area) directly on the painful area - please
refer to the photos of the electrode placing on page 14 and 15
(dynamic stimulation).
Programme 11: Fast analgesic massage by dynamic Gate Control
Symptoms: Especially for heavy limbs: Calf venous return - Joint
pain
This programme is similar to programme 10, but the movement of
the massaging wave is quicker. It is also used for heavy limbs to
facilitate venous return: In this case place the 2 electrodes of
channel 1 on the right calf, and the 2 other electrodes of channel
2 on the left calf. (Please refer to page 14). For use on the joints,
place the electrodes directly on the joint.
Please refer to Placing the electrodes: Place the electrodes (2 or
4 depending on the extent of the painful joint) directly on the pain-
ful joint – please refer to the photo guide to the placing of the elec-
trodes on page 13.

back of consuming more energy.
