Knee & Hip Pain: What to Expect

The device does not cure knee or hip pain, but many users do experience relief and improved comfort with consistent use.

If you’re using the device for knee or hip discomfort and not seeing the results you expected, here are a few tips:

1. Use the Correct Pad Placement

Proper pad placement is essential for stimulating the right muscle groups.
(If you want, I can add diagrams or text instructions here.)

2. Start With Lower Intensities and Increase Slowly

Knee and hip areas contain smaller stabilizing muscles. These muscles often respond best when you begin at a low intensity and increase gradually.

3. Be Consistent

Like exercise, NMES benefits build over time. Most users feel noticeable improvement after several sessions rather than immediately.

How the Device Helps

The device stimulates the muscles at the motor point, causing gentle contractions that help:

  • Relax overactive or tight muscles

  • Activate stabilizing muscles

  • Support mobility and comfort

  • Target deeper muscle groups that are difficult to reach through traditional home exercises

Research Insight

Studies on home-based NMES programs have shown promising results for individuals with knee discomfort related to osteoarthritis. These programs have demonstrated:

  • Comparable outcomes to resistance training

  • Better adherence

  • Less strain and effort than traditional physical therapy

(We always recommend speaking with your physician before starting any new treatment or exercise regimen.)
