Pain is an important signal in the human body warning sys- tem. It reminds us that something is wrong, without which, abnormal conditionsmay go undetected, causing damage or injury to vital parts of our bodies. Even though pain is a necessary warning signal of trauma or malfunction in the body, nature may have gone too far in its design.
That causes the muscle to exercise passively. It is a product deriving from the square waveform, originally invented by John Faraday in 1831. Through the square wave pattern it is able to work directly on muscle motor neurons. The EMS System has low frequency and this in conjunction with the square wave pattern allows direct work on muscle group- ings.

7) You may experience skin irritation or hypersensitivity due to the electrical stimulation or electrical conduc- tive medium (silica gel). 8) If you have suspected or diagnosed heart disease or epilepsy, you should follow precautions recommended by your physician. 9) Caution if you have a tendency to bleed internally, e.g. following an injury of fracture.
3) If the stimulation makes you uncomfortable, reduce the stimulation Intensity to a comfortable level and contact your physician if problems continue. 3.
