How to Use Your Physiotrex Mini Muscle Stimulator

A Step-by-Step Guide for Effective Physiotherapy at Home

Follow these simple steps to ensure a safe, comfortable, and professional-grade therapy session every time.

Step 1: Preparation & Setup

Skin Prep: Clean the skin area you intend to treat with mild soap and water. Dry thoroughly. This ensures maximum conductivity and extends the life of your electrode pads.
Gel Application: Apply a thin, even layer of the Bonus 250ml Coupling Gel directly onto the black surface of the electrode pads or the tip of the point probe.
- Pro Tip: Never use the pads “dry,” as this can cause skin irritation or uneven stimulation.

Step 2: Connecting the Leads

Insert the red and black lead wires into the Channel 1 (CH1) or Channel 2 (CH2) ports at the bottom of the device.
Attach the other end of the leads to the electrode pads. If you are using the Point Probe, connect it to the desired channel’s output.

Step 3: Selecting Your Mode

Use the central toggle switches to select the treatment prescribed by your therapist:

Faradic Mode: Best for muscle toning, strengthening, and re-educating “lazy” muscles. It produces a rhythmic “on-off” contraction.
Galvanic Mode: Best for deep tissue stimulation, improving blood flow, and iontophoresis. It provides a continuous, smooth current.
INT/PLN Switch: Choose INT (Interrupted) for pulsed stimulation or PLN (Plain) for a steady flow.

Step 4: Positioning the Pads

Place the pads on the muscle group you wish to target (e.g., quadriceps, lower back, or shoulders).
Ensure the pads are at least 2 inches apart and secured firmly using the provided velcro straps if necessary.

Step 5: Powering On & Adjusting Intensity

Ensure the intensity knobs are at the “OFF” position before turning the unit on.
Slowly turn the knob for your active channel (CH1 or CH2) clockwise.
Listen to your body: Increase the intensity until you feel a strong but comfortable contraction or tingling sensation. It should never feel painful.

Quick Safety Checklist

Do’s	Don’ts
Use the provided coupling gel for every session.	Do not use over the heart, throat, or temples.
Start at the lowest intensity and increase slowly.	Do not use if you have a pacemaker or are pregnant.
Turn the device OFF before removing pads.	Do not submerge the device or wires in water.

Cleaning & Maintenance

After use, wipe the electrode pads clean with a damp cloth to remove excess gel.
Store the wires loosely coiled (avoid tight bending) to prevent internal wire breakage.
Keep the unit in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the difference between Galvanic and Faradic modes?

A: This is a dual-therapy device. Faradic mode is used for muscle stimulation and toning; it causes muscles to contract and relax, which is great for rehabilitation. Galvanic mode is a constant current used for deep tissue healing, reducing inflammation, and improving blood circulation.

Q2: Do I always need to use the coupling gel?

A: Yes. To get the best results and ensure safety, always apply the included Physiotrex Coupling Gel. It acts as a conductor between the electrode pads and your skin. Using it without gel can lead to an uncomfortable “stinging” sensation or poor conductivity.

Q3: Can I use both channels at the same time?

A: Absolutely. This is a 2-Channel (Dual Channel) machine, meaning you can treat two different areas—like both knees or both sides of your lower back—simultaneously. Each channel has its own intensity control knob for a customized experience.

Q4: Is this device suitable for home use or just for clinics?

A: While it offers clinical-grade power and is used by professional physiotherapists, it is designed with an intuitive interface that makes it perfectly safe and easy for home use. We recommend following the included “How to Use” guide for the best results.

Q5: What is the purpose of the Point Probe?

A: The Point Probe (the pen-like attachment) is specifically designed for Trigger Point Therapy. It allows you to target very small, specific areas or “knots” in the muscle that the larger pads might miss. It is also commonly used for facial nerve stimulation.

Q6: How often should I replace the electrode pads?

A: With proper care (cleaning them after each use and always using gel), the pads are highly durable and reusable. You only need to replace them if you notice the black conductive surface is wearing thin or if the stimulation becomes uneven.

Q7: Is there anyone who should NOT use this device?

A: You should not use a muscle stimulator if you have a cardiac pacemaker, implanted metallic devices, or if you are pregnant, without first consulting your doctor. Avoid placing pads on the front of the neck, the head, or directly over the heart.
