FAQ / Rehab & Physical Therapy

Frequently asked.

Answers to the questions clinical buyers and care teams ask most about this product category.

What resistance level should I start with?

Most rehab patients start with the lightest band that still provides meaningful challenge — typically yellow (lightest) or red (light). Progress through green, blue, black, and silver as strength improves. A physical therapist can recommend the right starting point.

How often should TENS electrodes be replaced?

Standard self-adhesive electrodes can be reused 10–20 applications if cared for properly (clean skin, return to liner, refrigerate if recommended). Replace sooner if adhesion fails or skin irritation develops.

Can I use this equipment at home without supervision?

Home use is appropriate for patients who have been taught proper technique by a clinician and have a defined exercise plan. Supervised PT is recommended for initial training and for high-risk patients.

Is PT equipment HSA/FSA eligible?

Many rehabilitation and PT products are HSA/FSA eligible, particularly with a prescription or letter of medical necessity. Confirm eligibility with your plan administrator.
