PRE-WORKOUK
High-tech warm-up, promote blood flow // 10-20 minutes
POST-WORKOUT RECOVERY
Speed up muscle recovery, decrease muscle fatigue and stiffness // 20-60 minutes
INJURY REHAB (ACUTE & CHRONIC) / POST-OP REHAB
Reduce edema, pain and stiffness; increase ROM, prevent further injury; speed incisional healing // 20-60+ minutes (in 1+ sessions per day)
