This unit may be used in two different ways.
If it is practical, the unit may be applied during exercise. Place a treatment electrode pad, one at either end of the muscle or muscle group that will be prone to fatigue during the activity. For example the thigh muscles in cyclists.

If it is not practical to use the unit during exercise apply the unit immediately prior to the activity. Remember you can use the Y connector to make a four-pad application so two muscle groups may be boosted simultaneously

Use the unit for 30 minutes after training or competition (within 0 -2 hours is ideal).
We suggest that it should be applied following a cooling down activity.

The unit may be used in two different ways. For specific areas of muscle fatigue place a treatment electrode one at each end of the muscle or muscle group affected. For a general application use the Y connector so that a four pad application may be applied. Place one pad on the top of either foot (from one wire coming from the unit) and a single pad on the top of each hand. fig. 9

Synapse micro-current units are completely safe to use. Pad placement to some extent is subjective.

The Tendonworks® unit is a registered medical device and is completely safe for unsupervised use. However tendon problems come in many different forms and as such required different treatments and management. What can present as pain, stiffness and loss of function to the individual can have many different causes, which is why we always recomend that someone who is suffering with a tendon problem obtains a proper diagnosis and as such an appropriate treatment.

The Tendonworks unit is designed to accelerate the rate at which new type 1 collagen (the main tissue in tendons) is produced which will facilitate a quicker rate of repair. To work at its most efficient a properly tailored exercise regime should be implemented along side the Tendon Works treatment protocol. The Tendonworks unit can be used for several different conditions affecting tendon tissue, such as strains, tears, chronic (long-term) discomfort and dysfunction.

Accel Heal will produce an accelerated rate of tissue repair in skin. The mechanism behind wounds that fails to heal properly or at all is not fully understood and is certainly multi-factorial. The Accel Heal unit can be use on all types of skin wounds and is currently being trailed on chronic non-healing wounds such as venous and diabetic ulcers. In addition, Synapse has some interesting anecdotal evidence to suggest that it may also be used on reducing the effects of scarring in skin tissue.

Connect an electrode to the end of each cable leading out of the Synapse Micro-current Unit.

If you need to treat an area of the body that requires the electrode pads to be placed in two areas of the body at the same time see interactive pad placement guide place one Y cable to the end of each cable leading out of the Synapse Micro-current unit, (see diagram below) allowing you to connect an electrode pad (4 in total) to the ends of these Y cables. You must ensure you have a positive + and a negative - pair of electrodes at each target area.
Example of using Y leads to give simultaneous treatment to both legs. Please note the colours below are for illustrative purposes only. All leads are white. It is unimportant whether the + or - pads are located top or bottom.

If you need to increase the length of the cables leading out of the Synapse Micro-current unit, simply connect an extender to the end of each of these cables and connect the electrode pads to the extenders ready for use. You can also connect the Y cables onto the extenders if any extra length required when using this accessory.
