This protocol combines diathermic, analgesic, and mechanical effects through muscle pumping. It can be applied globally with two electrodes on the calves and one on the lumbar region, or locally by placing two electrodes around the joint to be drained. The muscle stimulation intensity should be adjusted according to the patient’s sensation.
