Programmes

Sport Category

• Active recovery- To improve and accelerate the muscle recovery after an intensive exercise
  - To be used during the first 3 hours after each session of intensive training or after a competition
• Concentric - Combination of voluntary dynamic concentric contractions with weights and electrically induced contractions
• Eccentric- Combination of voluntary dynamic eccentric contractions with weights and electrically induced contractions
• Endurance- For athletes who wish to improve their performance in long-duration sporting events
• Explosive strength - For athletes practising a discipline in which explosive strength is an important factor in performance
• Hypertrophy- For competitive athletes who wish to increase their muscle mass
  - For body-builders
• Plyometry- For athletes who, on account of injury, must interrupt or limit their voluntary plyometric training sessions
  - For athletes who wish to increase the quantity of plyometric muscular stimulations without risk of injury
  - To reproduce plyometric work on muscle groups for which this type of work is difficult to achieve voluntarily (deltoid, latissimus dorsi, etc.)
• Potentiation- For optimum muscle preparation immediately before competition
• Regeneration- To be used the day after competition as recovery training or as a complement to this type of training, the intensity of which can then be reduced
• Resistance- For competitive athletes who wish to increase their capacity to sustain intense and prolonged effort
• Strength- For competitive athletes practising a discipline that requires strength and speed
• Stretching- For all athletes who wish to maintain or improve their muscular elasticity
  - To be used after all training sessions or during a specific stretching session
  

Vascular Category

• Capillarization - In the period before competition, for those participating in endurance or resistance sports
  - As a supplement to a programme in the Aesthetic category
  - To improve endurance in those whose fitness level is not high
• Drainage- To combat occasional swelling of the feet and ankles
  - As a supplement to pressure therapy or manual lymphatic drainage
  - Do not use without medical advice in case of oedemas that are the side effect of a pathological problem
• Heavy legs- To remove the feeling of heaviness in the legs arising in unusual situations (standing for long periods, heat, hormonal imbalance linked to the menstrual cycle, etc.)
  

Pain Category

• Arthralgia - Analgesic current specifically adapted to persistent pain in a joint, as in osteoarthritis and rheumatism (all joints in the limbs except the elbow: see the Epicondylitis programme below)
• Cervical pain - Analgesic current specifically adapted to pains in the back of the neck
• Contracture / Tonolysis- To combat recent and localized muscular pain
• Cramp prevention- Cramp mainly affects muscles of the lower limbs, in particular the calf muscles
• Endorphinic- To combat chronic muscular pain
• Epicondylitis- Analgesic current specifically adapted to persistent pain in the elbow
• Low back pain- Analgesic current specifically adapted to persistent low back pain (lumbar region)
• Lumbago- Analgesic current specifically adapted to sharp and sudden low back pain (lumbar region)
• Lumbosciatica- Analgesic current specifically adapted to low back pain (lumbar region) combined with pain in the buttocks running down the rear of the thigh and sometimes into the leg and foot
• Sophisticated TENS- All acute or chronic localized pain
• Thoracic back pain - Analgesic current specifically adapted to pain in the thoracic region (below the back of the neck and above the low back)

Rehabilitation

• Disuse atrophy / Disuse atrophy 1 - Treatment to combat any reduction of muscle volume:
  -as a result of trauma necessitating immobilisation
  -accompanying degenerative lesions to joints
• Muscle growth - After a period of using the Disuse atrophy treatment, as soon as the muscle shows signs of a slight recovery of volume or tone
  - Until the virtually complete restoration of muscle volume
• Reinforcement / Reinforcement 1 - At the end of rehabilitation, when the muscle has regained normal muscle volume
  - From the onset of rehabilitation for non-atrophied muscles

Fitness

• Aerobic - For those who do fitness exercises regularly to increase their endurance and improve the harmony of their figure
• Muscle building- To improve the musculature in general (strength, volume, tone)
  - Particularly recommended before using the Hypertonic or Hypertrophy programmes
• Muscle starter - To reactivate the muscles of sedentary users and restore physiological muscular qualities
  - The ideal preparation for using the other Fitness category programmes

Aesthetic

• Muscle firming - To be used as the main treatment for muscle firming
• Muscle tone- To be used to begin with in order to tone up and prepare the muscles before more intensive firming work
• Shaping-To be used when the firming phase is finished
