My guess is that the settings for pulse width or pulse rate are too high . I hope you can figure out how to change the settings. The TENS unit comes with a manual & you can download the instructions.
For anyone wondering how to actually start/activate the TENS and EMS process after completing all the settings: Increase the numbers (larger than 0) by pressing the channel 1 and 2 arrow-up buttons to activate the plugged in left and right electrodes/pads. If these two numbers remain at 0, nothing will happen. SLOWLY increase the number on each channel, one at a time. Your ideal tolerance level might be at 4, or lower, or higher. At some point during the treatment, you may feel that you could tolerate a higher level. What you have to do in order to increase each channel is first press the down arrow button, which will lower the intensity by one level. Only then can you press the arrow up button to increase the level to your desired new tolerance level. I guess, this is done for safety so you won't accidentally increase the level and hurt yourself.
Once all the settings are done, you must increase the numbers (larger than 0) of the plugged in left and right electrodes/pads. If these two numbers remain at 0, nothing will happen. Press the arrow-up channel 1 and 2 buttons and SLOWLY increase the number on each channel, one at a time. Your ideal tolerance level might be at 4, or lower, or higher.
Finally found out from another video what is missing from this one. After you set the mA, the clock will flash. WAIT. After a few moments, the pulsation will come on and go back and forth between pulsation and relaxation. This isn't mentioned in this video.
Can you tell me the link or title for the video that helped you? Long story short, I think there is something seriously wrong with the manual & video instructions for this 10 year old TENS unit. Maybe it is the unit itself. I will probably try to get a refund from the company I bought this from.

I really need to reset this device. Explaining what you are doing with the buttons and would be helpful. Slow down and give time to set. I'd love follow up to this video if possible.
Are these stretches only to correct a posterior pelvic tilt? Or do they neutralize the spine whether you have a posterior or anterior. I have what is described on your website as an anterior pelvic tilt as my hamstrings are always tight. Have been suffering knee pain in the upper/outer side of my left knee especially when walking down stairs or hills. I am told it is because my Biceps Femoris is too tight but after reading the website, constantly stretching this may cause problem, yikes! Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Hi Sam, Knee pain stems from many reason, it is a very consequential joint that often has pain when another area isn't providing the proper stability. With ascending or more commonly descending stairs, the inside part (VMO) of the quad is in control of the first 30 degrees of bending. If this isn't contracting how it should, it can cause pain. Based on the pain you described, it sounds like you'd need to have someone take a look at it before it worsens. Give us a call at # 305-331-2277 or visit us at symmetryptmiami.com so we can help you relieve your pain! Also, if hip stabilizers are not conditioned and strong, they can lead to additional pain on the knee. Usually if something is chronically 'tight' it means that you need to evaluate what is weak leading to something overcompensating and being tight. We need to get to the root of the problem and not just cover the symptoms.
