Stimulation intensity
The current intensity necessary to obtain muscular contraction is personal and
depends on the position of the electrodes, the underlying adipose tissue layer,
sweating, the presence of hair on the area to be treated, etc.. For these reasons,
the same current intensity can generate different feelings from person to person,
from day to day, and from the right side to the left side of the body. During different
sessions, it will be necessary to regulate the intensity in order to obtain the same
level of contraction because of the accommodation phenomena. The current
intensities recommended in the different phases are proposed as indicative values,
and each person should modify these levels according to his/her personal needs.
- Moderate: the muscle does not tire, even during long treatment. The contraction
is agreeable and tolerable. First level of the intensity graph.
- Intermediate: the muscle is visibly contracted but the stimulation does not trigger
the joint movement. Second level of the intensity graph.
- High: the muscle is contracted noticeably. The muscle contraction would extend
or bend the limb if not blocked. Third level in the intensity graph.
- Maximal: the muscle is contracted maximally. This is an intense treatment
that should be performed only after many applications.

In the descriptions of the treatments, the best levels of intensities are recommended.
NOTE: The recommended levels of current are only indicative.
Tens
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is a selective stimulation of the
large fibers of the peripheral nerves favoring the closing of the gate entrance for
the pain pulses and increasing the release of endorphin substances, reducing in
this way the pain intensity. Therefore with TENS we want to treat the severe and
chronic pain due to the main musculoskeletal pains.
The pain decrease following to the TENS currents application is due to these
factors:
a. Gate control theory
b. Endorphin secretion
c. Different sedative effects in relation with the frequency
