Most often during stimulation you will feel a simple#160; tingling sensation caused by the stimulation current, which is inevitable. However, the high quality of the Compex currents  guarantees you get the most comfortable stimulation current possible.

 

Let's consider two types of programs which do not produce the same sensations:

• Pain relief and wellness: the electric sensation is light, hardly perceptible for some people. It is restricted to tingling or tickling, so a completely comfortable sensation.
• Muscle building: for the muscle building programs, the "electric" sensation may be more pronounced, however:
  • Most often, it is the power of the contractions which limits the progression, much more than the "electric" sensation.
  • Then, all users quickly get used to the sensation felt, which makes progression quite easy.

Why is using the maximum intensity tolerable encouraged for muscle reinforcement type programs?

When aiming to develop muscular qualities, the intensity of stimulation is crucial.

The higher this intensity of stimulation, the higher the percentage of muscle fibers that are working. You must always therefore work with the maximum intensity you are able to tolerate.

To make progress, you will have to increase the intensities used throughout each session and also from one session to the next. This is why when an electrostimulation session is done seriously, it is not always pleasant and it is not possible to perform another activity at the same time.
