The machine has 8 different settings that you can choose from. They range from slow tapping for pain relief to kneading fast for more intense pain relief. The programs are set and you select which level of relief that you require and then place the sticky conductor pads where it is needed. There are diagrams in the book for how to place pads for different pains in different areas.

This device can also be used as a massager to help you relax.
