How to Use Firefly Recovery:
Position each Firefly just below the outside of your knee with the white tip facing forward, this is key for it to work. You should see a gentle foot twitch once it’s in the right spot. For best results, use the accessory strap to keep it secure.
Locate the Fibular Head
Feel for the round bone just below your knee on the outside of your leg. That's your fibular head—right where Firefly goes.
Prep and Position the Firefly
Peel the backing off both electrode pads. Place Firefly directly over the fibular head. Press firmly to ensure full contact with your skin.
Turn Device On/Off
Press the button to turn on. Cycle through 7 intensity levels until you see a slight foot flutter. Press and hold to turn off.
Secure with Strap (Optional)
Wrap the knee strap around your leg to keep Firefly firmly positioned. Essential after first few uses when adhesive weakens.
