What electrostimulation
Using electricity to trigger a mechanical muscle response by stimulating the
nervous system is a simple principle that has stood the test of time. Over the
years, the effects have been improved by increasing the accuracy in controlling
this electric current. Compex® has played a major part in this development.
During the 1980s, in the midst of the ongoing
electronic revolution, Compex focused on
satisfying the requirements of the medical and
scientific communities. The resulting close ties
developed over time have allowed Compex’s
innovative technology to be combined with an
increasingly deeper knowledge of physiology.
The result was the creation of electrostimulation,
offering effectiveness, comfort and safety.
Today, electrotherapy is an integral part of
rehabilitation protocols, recognized by both the
medical world and the world of sports.
How does it work?
The principle of electrostimulation is very
simple: it reproduces precisely the processes
that occur when our brain orders our muscles
to contract. When we decide to contract a
muscle, our brain sends a signal in the form of
an electric current that travels at high speed
along the nerve fibres. Once it has reached its
destination, the signal excites the motor nerve
which transmits the information to the area
immediately around the muscle and triggers the
muscle contraction.
With electrostimulation, excitation occurs
directly on the motor nerve using electrical
pulses that are perfectly adapted to guarantee
effectiveness, safety and comfort of use. In fact,
muscles cannot tell the difference between a
voluntary contraction (triggered by the brain) and
an electrically induced contraction: the work
carried out is exactly the same. It’s natural!
The fields of application are vast and
little known
Did you know that with electrostimulation
you can:
• Ease lower back pain
• Alleviate neck pain
• Recover faster and better after exertion
• Improve stamina and endurance
• Gain strength and speed
• Work on continuity
• Increase your muscle volume
• Improve blood circulation
• Prevent ankle sprains
• Strengthen your abdominal muscles
4
can do for YOU!
YOU
And all this:
• Without osteotendinous strain on the joints
• Without mental fatigue
• Without cardiac stress
What makes us different: comfort,
efficiency and safety!
Compex stimulators differ in the types of
programmes they offer, their accessories,
their functions, etc. but they all meet the same
comfort, efficiency and safety requirements.
Why?
To ensure effective muscular work, it is
important to stimulate a maximum number of
muscle fibres. Using a higher stimulation level
means a greater number of muscle fibres will
be working. And by providing a comfortable
stimulation process, the user will find it easier
to increase the stimulation levels, thereby
increasing the number of muscle fibres working.
Consequently, the results are enhanced.
How?
The key is in controlling the current. Our
stimulators are equipped with a constant
current generator. This device generates a fully
controlled electrical pulse, regardless of the
specific features and variations in the tissues’
electrical resistance (skin or hair for example).
This biphasic current eliminates any risk of
burning and allows the device to be used safely
in proximity to osteosynthesis equipment or any
other metal implants.
As is often the case whenever a
technological innovation spreads
to a wide-ranging market, the real
possibilities offered by electrostimulation
are sometimes diverted... Remember
that electrostimulation is to be used as
a complement to physical exercise,
and under no circumstances does it
replace it.
The thorough approach and scientific
diligence that rule all stages of the
Compex product development process
give this leading brand unchallenged
supremacy in the field.

A muscle revolution poised to become the market’s technological
benchmark!
In the following pages you will see that certain stimulators have the prefix .
Mi stands for muscle intelligence™. This unique technology takes into account
the specificities of each of our muscles and provides stimulation tailored to
their characteristics. Your training will automatically be personalised and thus
perfectly adapted to your physiology.
6
Be ready!
The benefit?
Prepare for this revolutionary technology with
new COMPEX mi-READY.
To allow as many of you as possible to have
access to this technology, we have pre-fitted
COMPEX PERFORMANCE and COMPEX
ENERGY stimulators with certain muscle
intelligence™ options.
• This allows you to upgrade your device by
buying the mi-SENSOR as an additional
accessory: you can either purchase it now
or later; it’s your choice!
• If not connected to the mi-SENSOR, the
stimulator works conventionally.
Did you say
?
With the mi-SENSOR miniature sensor you are giving
your workout sessions a new dimension, with unparalleled
precision and efficiency.
With the mi-SCAN function, the mi-SENSOR scans
the selected muscle group and automatically adjusts
the stimulator’s settings to the excitability of this area
of the body, based on your own physiology. It is a truly
personalised measurement.
With the mi-ACTION function, the mi-SENSOR optimizes
the effectiveness of your session by letting you combine
voluntary contractions and electrostimulated contractions at
your own pace. You are totally in control of your training.
With the mi-TENS function, the mi-SENSOR makes it
easy to adjust the stimulation levels to be used for pain
management programmes. The adjustment takes place
instantly and automatically, simplifying the procedure for the
user and ensuring optimal results.
With the mi-RANGE function, the mi-SENSOR indicates
the optimum stimulation range to use (minimum and
maximum adjustment levels) for programmes such as
recovery or massage. The stimulation session is simple
and effective.
COMPEX mi-SPORT and COMPEX mi-FITNESS
stimulators include all of the muscle intelligence™
functions.

HOW I TRAINED FOR “MY”
NEW YORK MARATHON
Paul is 38. He’s been running for 10 years. However, the New York
Marathon was still on his target list. Paul explains how he prepared for
this legendary event.
The biggest marathon in the world requires serious training!
“The New York Marathon is a mythical event. I'd already run 9
marathons and 2 “Marathons des Sables” (Sand Marathons), but
whenever anyone said, “What about New York?” I had to say “Not
yet”... So I decided to do it with my running club. If you want to
take part on your own it’s really difficult and you end up being
part of a lottery because there are so many people wanting
to do it. Two million spectators lining the route and over 315
million television viewers across the world! That is frankly
impressive.
My aim was to do it in 3 hours. I developed my own training
schedule over 9 weeks. During the first two weeks, I mostly worked on
my speed in track sessions, five days a week doing interval training:
800m at full speed followed by 400m jogging. Ten times in a row! One
of these 5 sessions lasted over 3 hours to prepare my body for that
famous marathon “wall”.
I used two devices as support: a heart rate monitor to check my heart
rate and my Compex with its “recovery” function, which I used after each
major run. I also used my stimulator on other occasions: when I felt a
weakness in my ankle, I didn’t want to take any risks, and so replaced
one training session with an hour of muscle training using my Compex.
Over the next four weeks,
weeks I worked on endurance with longer, slower track
sessions. During this phase, I also made myself do a cross-country run of over
3 hours, completed by a Capillarization programme, still with the aim of getting
me through the legendary “wall”. This precaution proved to be worthwhile
because on D-day the weak spell only lasted 4 or 5 minutes and then my
body took over and took off again!
sleep. You need a lot of sleep, but after intensive training
And then there’s sleep
late in the day, it’s not easy to drift off. As I was working at the same time,

SPORT
I didn’t have much choice. The most difficult
thing is to plan everything so that you’re in top
shape on D-day.
Coming back to my “self-designed” training, the
last three weeks I simply jogged three or four
times a week to maintain my fitness. I felt good
and often wanted to “cut loose”, but the most
important thing in this pre-race phase is to be
revitalized, to regain your strength… It’s almost
like resting.
This was when I most appreciated the
Oxygenation and Massage functions of my
Compex. I felt as light as a feather! I also used
it regularly, five times a week, to strengthen my
muscles without getting tired. And that’s great!
At last, the big day arrived. A beautiful autumn
sun shone on the Verrazano Bridge where the
race starts. And after the traditional American
National Anthem, the starting gun was fired
at 10.10 am. There were about 40,000 of us
ready for the dash! Coming out of Brooklyn and
in Central Park, it was absolutely crazy. Never
since have I experienced such an atmosphere.
A short run through the Bronx, where I had a
bit of a weak spell before we headed back into
Manhattan. And then, the last few kilometres
in Central Park to the applause of an amazing
crowd... I finished in 3 hours 12 minutes.
But the most important preparation for a
marathon is in your head! For five months I had
been putting stickers of the New York Marathon
in my bathroom, my office, my car and even
over my bed! I thought about it all the time. I can
tell you that when you become totally absorbed
in an upcoming race, you get there, even if it’s
hard.”

“CYCLING IS
MY PASSION”
TOM “The weather is irrelevant, I just need to go out
and ride. And every year, when March comes, I start
riding and building up the miles. To me, it has truly
become a passion, and I definitely ride to release the
stress and relax. It is vital for my balance. Naturally,
among friends, we set goals, time each outing,
compete with each other and try to improve our
overall performance! I’ve realized that my COMPEX
PERFORMANCE helps me make regular progress.
I’ve used it mostly to gain in power so I can tackle
slopes faster. Personally, I’ve chosen the mi-SENSOR
option, which makes working sessions easier and more
effective. But the best of all is that after each outing I
can enjoy a recovery session: essential if I want to be
in shape for the next ride. That’s how I’ve managed to
improve and at the same time fulfill my passion!”

ELSA “It all started with a bet and now I run 2 to 3 times
a week. The truth is, if you don’t practice regularly, you
can’t really imagine how addicted you can become
to sports. To help me go from occasional jogger to
a more regular and advanced runner, I decided to
use electrostimulation. The COMPEX ENERGY was
exactly what I needed. It gives me that extra little bit of

“For professional cyclists, quick recovery and avoiding
injuries are crucial! That’s why my fellow mates from the
Columbia HTC team and I use our Compex daily.
Speeding up the recovery phase allows me to be in
top form, both for the next training session or the next race.
Obviously, stage races are extremely demanding,
that’s why proper recovery is the key to success – that’s
what makes the difference. After an intensive day of racing or
after harsh training, my Compex helps me get back in shape
in no time, whether I’m on the move or in my hotel room.

odds on my side.
When I first heard about Compex stimulators, I was
attracted by their design and high tech approach. Compex
devices are state-of-the-art and I immediately realized
that the COMPEX mi-FITNESS and its body building
programmes would help me reach my goals quicker.
But what I am really keen on is the muscle intelligence™

“BEING FIT ALL YEAR ROUND:

EMMA “I’d love to exercise more and on a more regular
basis, but I don’t seem to find the time to do it! New
Year’s resolutions don’t always last, and then, the
effects of my lack of physical activity show up in the
cruellest way, namely, on my abs and dress size. So,
as a complement to the fitness course I am taking, I’ve
chosen to work with the COMPEX FIT: it’s the simplest
solution I’ve found to maintain my figure and be in
shape. I love it: I can take it anywhere; I turn it on and
immediately have access to the goal I am working on.
Right now, I am at session 7 of 18 of the “Tone your
arm muscles” programme. The pace is given by the
stimulator, just like a coach – 3 times a week – it’s really
motivating, and I feel certain of what I am doing.”

“IF YOU RESPECT YOUR BODY,

My job is fairly intense and doesn’t leave me enough time for
exercise! When you spend 1 or 2 days a week sitting in meetings with
your legs crossed, your circulation really starts to suffer.
My COMPEX VITALITY eases that feeling of heaviness in the legs
and also acts as a preventive device. It’s so easy to use and precise.
I generally do a 15 minute session twice a week, choosing a vascular
programme (to alleviate discomfort in the legs, or using the lymphatic
drainage option). These sessions really do me a world of good!
