Compex SP 8.0 WOD edition - All Questions

Compex muscle stim uses very high quality and high comfort level currents.
Muscle stim can be used in an intense way in complete safety:

- Without causing nervous fatigue
- By protecting your joints
- Electrostimulation has no side effects; it is a non-invasive treatment method, often an effective alternative to drugs, for pain treatment.

Muscle Stimulation is a tried and tested medical treatment method, used for rehabilitation, pain treatment and for training sportsmen and women.

The working principle behind muscle stim is very simple. It faithfully reproduces the process by which muscle contractions are controlled by the brain.

So, with muscle stim, the activity in your muscles is triggered by electrical impulses sent by our devices to the motor nerve. Your muscle cannot distinguish between a contraction triggered by your brain and one triggered by muscle stimulation. This is known as electrically induced contraction.

Yes. The work carried out during Compex sessions (depending on the programme selected) induces adaptations in the muscle fibres, with one of them being the increase in muscle volume.

No. Muscular stimulation and electrotherapy in general has existed for decades and no problems have ever been found.

No. There is no danger if the electrodes are badly positioned. The stimulation will simply become less effective.

Where to place the electrodes is indicated in the Compex manuals for the different muscle groups.

Hi V tsoi,

The main difference is the accesories included, the design and the warranty as the WOD edition can be extended 3 years for free (to be 5 years in total).
