On first use, the Training Program will be selected. This is a 10-minute foot-pad program that is intended to help you get used to the sensation of EMS stimulation and learn how Revitive rocks at the right intensity level. You can also set your preferred stimulation intensity level at the end of the program to enable the Auto Ramp-Up feature on your next therapy session. Once the Training program is complete, your main therapy can begin.
Please note that if you switch away from this app for any reason, simply reopen the app by tapping the icon on your phone.
It is important that you are well hydrated. We recommend that you apply a moisturiser to the soles of the feet to help hydrate the skin and improve the delivery of electrical stimulation. We also recommend drinking a glass of water before using Revitive.

When using the foot-pads you will be guided to the right intensity by indications and messages that appear on the screen. The intensity arc will also turn from orange to green when sufficient rocking movement is achieved.
If at any point during your therapy session, you stop rocking, a sound/ vibration will alert you. To start rocking again, increase the intensity level by tapping the + button.
Note: Very dry feet may cause Revitive to auto-pause, and stimulation will not be possible until the soles of your feet are hydrated. If this happens, apply some moisturiser to the soles of your feet.When using the Electrode Pads use at an intensity that provides you with strong but comfortable muscle contractions.
If you feel pain or discomfort: Lower the intensity of the foot/electrode pads using the intensity controls on the controller screen or the device.
