The therapy programs define the types of sensations you’ll feel on the treatment area, which includes: * Warm Up * Deep Tissue * Needle * Cup * Recovery  * Scrape  These therapy programs all feel a little different but - in general - provide the same [electrotherapy benefits to your muscles](https://timtam.tech/blogs/main/how-the-timtam-pulse-massager-can-help-take-your-workouts-to-the-next-level) and soft tissues beneath the electrode. #### Time and Intensity Finally, you’ll be prompted to choose your time and intensity for your Pulse Massage treatment. You can contact your doctor for instructions for treating specific ailments. To start, we generally recommend ten minutes of treatment, which you can increase using your doctor’s discretion. You will also choose your intensity level on a scale of 1 to 15, with more intense electric pulses being represented by higher numbers. We recommend starting low and gradually raising. Many users describe the sensation as tingly or like pins and needles. Generally, we recommend using the highest intensity level that does not cause you discomfort for optimum treatment. Finding this may involve a little trial and error, so be sure to take your time before cranking up your intensity. Maintaining Your TimTam Pulse Massager -------------------------------------- ### Make Your New Favorite Recovery Tool Last  At TimTam, we build our products to last. However, you can preserve the lifespan of your TimTam Pulse Massager with proper care. Much like all electronic devices, it’s important not to overcharge your Pulse Massager. Phone batteries and laptop batteries can become ‘fried’ if they are left plugged in unnecessarily for long periods of time. Only charge your Pulse Massager as needed and turn off your massager after each use to ensure maximum battery life. The most important way to preserve the use of and get the most out of your Pulse Massager is to ensure proper care of your electrode pads. The pads are specially designed to maximize the conduction of the electrical pulses with the adhesive gel.

Your Pulse Massager includes two butterfly pads, both of which can be used for 10-20 treatments when properly cared for. Once those pads are ready to be thrown out, subscribe the the [TimTam Subscription Plan for the Pulse Massager community](https://timtam.tech/pages/subscriptions).
