10 Pre-set Programs
EMS
JUMP START WARM UP
Program 1 should gently prepare the body for exercise by gradually increasing the heart rate and circulation; this will loosen the joints and increase blood flow to the muscles. Stretching the muscles prepares them for physical activity and prevents injuries.
MUSCLE RECOVERY
Programs 2 produces muscle twitches at a low frequency. Ideal for muscle recovery from fatigue to help decrease muscle stiffness. Great for recovery and relaxation following an intense workout.
ACTIVE RECOVERY
Program 3 is similar to 2, except that the muscle twitch rate slows down during the session. It feels like a tapping massage, but softer than Program 2. Use it after intense exercise to promote recovery and relaxation.
MUSCLE ENDURANCE
Program 4 uses a low frequency pulse which may favor slow twitch fibers, for potential development of aerobic capacity and capillary supply. It helps to improve fatigue resistance during long duration and moderate intensity exercise.
MUSCLE STRENGTHENING
Program 5 uses a pulse frequency appropriate to help fast twitch muscle fibers. It may help improve anaerobic capacity and may help improve muscle strength. The exercise comprises of a sequence of work phases separated by longer relaxation phases.
EXPLOSIVE STRENGTH MODE
Program 6 uses a burst pulse frequency appropriate for fast twitch muscle fibers. It may help improve anaerobic capacity and may help improve muscle strength.
TENS
RELIEF FOR LOWER BACK PAIN
Program 1 and 2 is great for temporary relief of pain associated with sore and/or aching muscles in the lower back due to strain from exercise or normal household and/or work activities. Comfortable pulsing sensation. The underlying pain should decrease.
RELIEF FOR ARM & LEG PAIN
Program 3 is great or temporary relief of pain associated with sore and/or aching muscles in the upper and lower extremities (arm and/or leg) due to strain from exercise or normal household and work activities. Variable comfortable mild tingling sensation (sensation will appear to come in waves).
CHRONIC PAIN RELIEF & ARTHRITIS
Program 4 is for symptomatic relief and management of chronic, intractable pain and relief of pain associated with arthritis. You should feel a variable comfortable tingling and pulsing sensation that comes in waves.
Why PlayMakar SPORT?
Gain the Competitive Advantage.
When athletes don’t have adequate time or energy to implement recovery time, EMS can be an extremely beneficial tool. Active recovery practices that encourage circulatory mechanisms within the body can help facilitate a more complete and expedient recovery. PlayMakar P2 and P3 programs produce muscle twitches at a low frequency. Ideal for muscle recovery from fatigue to help decrease muscle stiffness. Great for recovery and relaxation following an intense workout.
What is TENS and EMS?
What is TENS?
TENS stands for “Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation”. It’s a safe, non-invasive drug-free method of pain relief used by doctors for over 30 years. TENS works by blocking the pain signals from traveling to the brain through low voltage pulses to the skin. As a result, it produces endorphins, the body’s feel-good chemical.
What is EMS?
EMS stands for “Electrical Muscle Stimulation”. It is the elicitation of muscle contraction using electrical impulses. EMS helps activate the muscles to assist in the increase of strength and endurance, and to speed up recovery. Once electrode pads are applied onto the skin, the electrical impulses interact with your motor nerves to send signals that cause your muscles to contract. This is the same natural action you feel when you work out your muscles.

Great unit too bad it’s designed for only playmaker pads
No where n the ad and description does it say to use only playmaker pads. I’ve tried to other brand pads because of the sizes I need and the connectors are so loose it will not work. I called and was told I needed to use playmakers pads. That’s BS and should be a bullett point in the product description.

Worked as expected.
The pads are terrible. I did as instructed and only got a very few uses out of them. You have to buy replacement pads from company as no other fit and they are very expensive to replace!!

Great Relief
I like to use this on my shoulders after I have been working out. It helps to relax that muscles there so that I don't get quite as many headaches. It's easy to set up and use. Very happy.
Product went out on me after only using it a few times. I have tried to reach the company to see if they can warranty it out for me since I've had it less than a year but so far I am disappointed no response from REATHLETE LLC.******UPDATE they reached out to me with amazing customer service and are sending me a new machine. Great Company!!
