A common reaction to stress and strain on the body is
muscular tensions, often located in the back or neck/
shoulders. Such tensions can increase in pregnant
women and newly delivered mothers.
46
This massage program is inducing muscle vibrations
that help tense muscles to relax and circulation in the
treated area to improve.
Recommended intensity
Increase the amplitude until you get visible muscle
vibrations.
Recommended treatment time
Each stimulation session should last at least 30 minutes
and can be performed whenever you need massage/
muscle relaxation.
Preset program time
30 minutes.
Electrode placement
Place the electrodes on the muscles that are tense.
Electrode placement number: 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
PROGRAM 4
CIRCULATION – TIRED LEGS
This program can be used to relieve tired and swollen
legs, usually occurring during the latter part of preg-
nancy.
These symptoms can also arise from standing or sit-
ting in one position for a long time. The reason is often
reduced circulation.
The stimulation produces a muscular pumping effect
that increases the circulation in the venous and lym-
phatic systems. This promotes removal of waste prod-
ucts and excessive fluid from the treated area.
Recommended intensity
Increase the amplitude until you get visible muscle
vibrations to light contractions.
Recommended treatment time
The program can be used every day.
Preset program time
30 minutes.
Electrode placement
Sit or lie down with legs elevated during stimulation.
Electrode placement number: 10
PROGRAM 5
GET IN SHAPE
This program can be used to get in shape after giving
birth.
To restore your body to its pre-pregnancy shape, you
have to do exercises that strengthen the back, abdomi-
nal and pelvic floor muscles. This program is inducing
muscle contractions and will help you to regain muscle
strength, vigour and elasticity. Use it as a complement
to your other training.
Recommended intensity
Between the muscle contractions are periods of so
called Active Rest, which means that the stimulation
is active also during the rest periods. The Active Rest
stimulation keeps the muscle prepared for the next con-
traction and reduces muscle soreness afterwards.
Contraction: Increase the amplitude gradually until you
get a medium-intensity contraction.
Active Rest: Increase the amplitude gradually until you
get light muscle vibrations.
Recommended treatment time
The program can be used 3-4 times a week. Also
improve your fitness by walking, cycling, swimming or
other strength training a couple of times per week.
Preset program time
30 minutes.
Caution! If you have had a Caesarean section you
should wait 6-8 weeks before using this program,
because your muscles need this time to recover.
Electrode placement number: 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16
