Where to Place the Pads:
There is NOT a specific right way to position or place the pads. The best approach is to place the pads wherever they relieve pain the most. Experiment and see what will work best for you. General Guidelines for a Small Area Hamstring: Use one channel and two pads. Place one pad (either one) directly on the pain. Place the other pad either directly above the other pad (at least a pad’s width apart) or directly below the pad (at least a pad’s width apart).
Use one channel and two pads. Place one pad directly above the pain and one pad directly below the pain or place one pad on each side of the pain.
General Guidelines for a Large Area of Pain:
In our examples, channel one has yellow pads and channel two has green pads.
Option one: one pad from channel one placed above the area of pain and one pad placed below the area. One pad from channel two placed in front of the area of pain and another pad from channel two placed behind the area of pain. This arrangement forms a cross pattern.
Option two: one pad from channel one in the upper right corner of the area of pain and one pad from channel one in lower left corner of the area of pain. One pad from channel two in upper left corner of the pain and one pad in lower right corner of the pain. This arrangement forms an X pattern.
General Guidelines for Pain Referred from Another Area:
An example would be hamstring pain that is coming (referred) from the back. Using channel one, place the two pads along the nerve pathway. Reminder: don’t place pads over open wounds or areas with excessive hair. Clean the area with soap and water prior to placement of the pads.
Hamstring Treatment: Cross-fiber massage using the massage gun.
