Page 11 A HISTORY OF MASSAGE THERAPY The beneﬁts of massage therapy are nothing new. In fact, they’re older than you, your parents, and grandparents! Massage therapy has been used in cultures throughout the world for many centuries. In fact, it has even been called the “art of rubbing” in ancient Rome. Cultures ranging from China, Japan, Egypt, and Greece all have a documented history of massage therapy as part of their medicinal practices.
Page 12: Advanced Features
What you might not know, however, is how ﬂexible and customizable the PL-009 massager is for your needs. Aside from the preprogrammed massages and adjustable speeds on the top part of the unit, you can choose the "Massage", "Beat", or "Knead"...
Page 13 What is the function of the "Repeat" button? The repeat button does NOT repeat a session from the beginning, rather, while using the device in one of the "Auto-Procedure" modes, such as "Shoulder", "Back", etc the program will cycle at regular intervals from one program (set of pulses and waveforms) to another.
Page 14 FOREARMS Carpal tunnel is devastating for many musicians such as pianists and other string players. Even if you don’t play an instrument, carpal tunnel is extremely painful and greatly limits your ability to use your hands and arms. TENS therapy can help alleviate the pain from this and similar ailments.
Page 15 To relieve yourself of discomfort and pain, use the truMedic Electronic Pulse Massager PL-009 on your shoulders. Start with the pads on either side of the center of pain. Adjust the distance of the pads to center the treatment on the source of the pain.
Page 16 THIGHS Bicyclists know the incredible stress and strain that your thigh muscles can experience. Since these large muscles are so crucial to mobility, it’s important to take care of them and help them relax. Placing the electrode pads on the top and back side of your thighs is an easy way to let the pulse therapy relax and de-stress this area.
Page 17: Best Practices
BEST PRACTICES So now that you know how to use the Electronic Pulse Massager PL-009 and are familiar with all of the beneﬁts it oﬀers, it’s time to learn the best practices for an even better experience! To enhance and ensure the desired results, each treatment should last approximately 10-15 minutes.
Page 18 Think of electrotherapy as a type of massage. Daily exercise is good, but too much is detrimental. You’ll deﬁnitely want to use the Electronic Pulse Massager PL-009 at least once a day to see consistent results. Only using it once a week or every once in a while doesn’t allow you to take advantage of its beneﬁts.

Page 20 Why is the stimulation weak or nonexistent? Since the Electronic Pulse Massager PL-009 is such a powerful device, the lack of stimulation means that it probably isn’t connected properly.
