Hey Amanda, I believe you will need a PT person to set it up for you. To show you where to put the pad on your legs muscle & at what strength, each person is different & each unit might be too. The place were you put the pad will not change once you find the right placement for your leg muscles. I had my set for me and did use it for the first 2 years. I didn't see any improvements at that time and put it away for when I would be able to use it again, once I started getting new feeling again. I did loan it out to a friend without marking all the settings and he set it to massage his back for back pain. Once I was ready to start using it again, I read the book & asked my new PT to help re-setup my settings. No one was able to help me, so I give back to my friend that's able to get more use out of it than me at this time. They're wonderful machines, when use correctly, Todd in CC, TX

What are the settings supposed to be in order to get a good muscle contraction? I don't think I am doing it right! Thanks Amanda
