Description

• Alternating, oscillating, high frequency, higher in voltage with lower amps. Alternates rapidly at more than 50 times per second.

• Produces a frequency of 100,000-250,000 Hertz.

Keywords

• Alternating current – or AC, the electrical current is alternating directions in a repetitive pattern

• Oscillating – a current alternating in direction

• Frequency – the amount of times the AC makes a circuit per second

• Voltage – The pressure required to drive the electricity around the circuit

• Amps – the flow of electrons in a circuit per second

The current flows

through the clients body

using the therapists

hands to perform

massage which

conducts the current.

The client holds the

saturator electrode to

complete the circuit.
