User guide
A few simple pointers to get started with your Kinessia devices, whatever the model. The manual supplied with the product remains the reference: this guide does not replace it.
Before first use
- Fully charge the device if it runs on a battery.
- Check the size: measure the circumference of the calf, thigh, waist or wrist depending on the product and compare with the size guide on the product page.
- Settle somewhere you can stay seated or lying down for the whole session.
The first session
Always start at the lowest intensity, even if it seems too gentle. The aim of the first session is not to go hard: it is to get to know the sensation and find the setting that suits you. You will then increase session after session.
Frequency and duration
A 15 to 20 minute session, 3 to 4 times a week, is a good starting point. Electrical devices must not be used beyond the duration stated in the manual, nor during sleep. Regularity matters more than intensity.
Care
- Wipe surfaces in contact with the skin with a slightly damp cloth after each session.
- Never immerse an electrical device in water and do not use abrasive products.
- Removable fabrics are hand washed at 30 °C, dried flat in the open air.
- Store the device away from humidity and heat, battery partially charged.
When not to use the device
Seek advice from a healthcare professional before any use in case of pregnancy, diagnosed circulatory disorder, thrombosis or phlebitis, open wound on the area concerned, or if you have a pacemaker or an electronic implant for devices with electrical stimulation.
Stop the session immediately in case of pain, unusual tingling or numbness.
