Exercise surge options


This is a feature that allows exact control of Electrical Muscle Exercise - so is only available in the surge mode. [Not available on Analgesic or Analgesic+2 models]

Mode
Contract

Recommendations
Always start at 6 seconds

Mode
Modulated

Recommendations
Start by setting at least equal to the Contract time (may be set at up to double the contract time to avoid over-exercising, but this is quite a conservative setting).

To increase the vigorousness of the work out:

  • Increase the contract time
  • Decrease the relax time
  • Increase the length of the work out session

Example:

A leg work out may start at 6 seconds contract time and 6 seconds relax time for a session lasting 15 minutes. Over a period of two weeks, the work out may peak at 10 second contractions with 2 seconds rest between each contraction, for a total time of 30 minutes.
