How it works

There is just one way to make a muscle contract, and that is the way Nature does it. The brain transmits an electrical signal through the nervous system to the muscle "motor point" When this signal reaches the muscle, it triggers off a chemical reaction which causes the muscle tissue to contract. For us, this mechanical marvel seems to happen instantaneously; we simply decide to move, and the rest is automatic. The curious fact is, however, that the muscles don't care where the signals come from. They will contract in exactly the same way if the signal to do so is transmitted from outside the body. DYNATONE is a device specifically for this purpose. The "brain" of the machine is powered by ordinary torch batteries. It transmits exactly the right signal through the leads ( it's nervous system ) to rubber contact pads placed over the muscles. When switched on, DYNAT0NE sends 30 signals a minute to selected muscles which obediently contract and relax rhythmically until DYNATONE is switched off. Perhaps even more remarkable is that you can actually adjust the strength
of the contraction by simply turning a dial on the control box. This facility
has been built in to the DYNATONE units for two reasons: In ordinary exercise, we usually move our limbs about to get the muscles working. Another method (isometrics) allows us to exercise without limb movement by simply tensing the muscle. The body achieves this by commanding two opposing muscle groups to contract at the same time, rather like the right hand pushing against the left. Both these methods are excellent techniques for muscle toning. The disadvantage of the first is that it causes fatigue, and many people find perhaps, knee-bends etc. intolerably monotonous. The second method involves no movement or special equipment, but it involves a great deal of concentration and monotonous repetition. Also, many muscle-groups important to shape and to posture are not under our voluntary control. |
