What is Micro-current?
• Micro-current is a unique form of electrical
current in millionths of ampere
• Unlike regular current that is measured in
milliamperes or thousands of an ampere.
Micro-current is measured in microampere
or 1/1,000,000 of an ampere
• Usually the client does not feel the current
as in tens treatments.
How Does It Work?
• Injury disrupts the body’s normal electrical
activity
• Micro-current produces electrical signals
like those naturally occurring when the
body is damaged thus healing is enhanced
with the application of micro-current

ATP (adenosine triphosphate
• An organic chemical compound that
provides most of the energy to cells during
its conversion to another compound ADP
• Think of ATP as a tightly coiled spring that
is ready to uncoil with tremendous energy
when it is released
ADP- (adenosine diphosphate)
• Chemical compound in living organisms
that is formed when another chemical
compound (ATP) breaks down to release
energy that is used by cells.
The Application
• Perform a series of manipulations that
educate the muscles to lengthen and
shorten
• Sculpting muscles in to positions, releases
ATP, which enables them to hold the
position longer
