Myostimulators – how to use them correctly?

Choosing a myostimulator

If it is quite easy to understand the operating principle of the myostimulator, then choosing the right device is a more difficult task. Manufacturers of such equipment offer many options, each with its own features and characteristics. What should you pay attention to first?

First, you need to decide what you need a myostimulator for, i.e. on what problem areas you plan to use it. There are models in the form of a belt for back muscles, options for the neck and shoulder girdle, for abdominal muscles. And it is also important to consider what functions the device has:

Number of programs;

Adjustment of intensity and number of its levels;
Ease of control;
Automatic shutdown function after a certain period of inactivity;
Duration of operation from one battery.

It is very convenient if the myostimulator has a self-adhesive gel film and an additional set of electrodes. It is also necessary to check that the myostimulator is thin, flexible and accurately takes the shape of the corresponding part of the body.

Rules for using the myostimulator

But let's get back to the operation of the device itself. To make the most of all its functions, it is not enough to know only the operating principle. It is important to understand how to use the myostimulator so that it brings benefits and not harm. To begin with, a few key rules:

Training of one muscle group should not last more than 40 minutes;
Everyone chooses the optimal regime for themselves. Most experts believe that the best option is to exercise for 15-20 minutes daily or 30-40 minutes every other day;
Depending on the number of electrodes, it is possible to work on several muscle groups at once;
The strength of the impulses must be adjusted so that no pain or discomfort is felt;
To protect against burns, remove all metal jewelry;
The places where the electrodes are installed are treated with a special gel (if there is none, you can use salted water);
The training is carried out approximately 2 hours after a meal and an hour after it.

Before using the device, you must study the electrode installation diagram. Such information is always in the instructions for the myostimulator. You can turn on the device only after you have made sure that all its parts fit tightly to the skin. By the way, the skin must be clean.
