I followed your protocols and my Dr was giddy when he saw me at 5 weeks. I had both knees done. I'm back in the gym getting stronger every day. Sean was a peach too!
I could not get my quads to fire after my knee replacement I bought one one of the EMS devices and it’s been great, wish I’d had your advice earlier. Thanks Kelly, hope recovery going well.
Can you please describe your sleep settings? I just bought the OTC H-Wave and tried to use it during my sleep and it actually kept me up all night. What should I be looking for in terms of pad placement and settings on the dial that WON’T adversely affect my sleep?
What make and model of NEMS did he say he’s using? Anybody catch it? I’ve backed up the video a few times and I can’t tell what he’s saying (0:47). Thanks in advance!
NMES on the other hand (often referred to as EMS) stands for NeuroMuscular Electrical Stimulation and uses electrical signals at higher Hz rates to stimulate muscle fibres. This technology is widely accepted by trainers, Olympians, and elite athletes. Typically utilized in conjunction with training or post-session for speeding up recovery, flushing out lactic acid, and increasing oxygenated blood flow.
TENS is the most universally known modality of electrical muscle stimulation but typically found as low cost over the counter devices that are not FDA cleared. Used widely for pain relief, TENS sends a series of electrical pulses across the skin and along nerve strands. These electrical pulses distract the brain from the pain signal, according to the Gate Control Theory. The Gate Control Theory of Pain says that non-painful stimulus or input closes the “gates” to the Central Nervous System, preventing it from feeling any pain. TENS also stimulates an endorphin release, which likewise mitigates pain.
I wonder about crossing the spine when the pads are on the torso. Isn’t there some thing about that not being good for your heart.... I can’t remember.

Another great video adding to the arsenal of recovery and rehab. Thank you for sharing.
I’m finding this series very helpful now that I am 3 weeks post ACL reconstruction.

Is there a limit to how long or times per day you can use the NMES device?

H-Wave
Is that device also similar to 'Tens unit?'

Cross the spine, not the streams lol.
