  • The heart of the operation: This is the main device that generates electrical impulses.
  • Versatility: It should offer adjustable intensity levels, pulse durations, and frequency to cater to different client needs and treatment goals.
  • Channels: Multiple channels allow for simultaneous stimulation of different muscle groups.

Electrode Pads

  • Conductivity: High-quality pads ensure efficient current transmission. 
  • Adhesiveness: They should adhere well to the skin without causing irritation.  
  • Variety of shapes and sizes: Different pads are needed to target specific muscle groups.
