What can you use it for?

• Treating chronic musculoskeletal complaints (lower back, neck, shoulder, knee)
• Releasing muscle tension
• Reducing joint stiffness
• Supporting recovery after sports injuries

Device features

How to use

1. Clean the skin area to be treated
2. Apply a generous amount of ultrasound gel
3. Turn on the device – wait for the head to warm (~1–2 minutes)
