On each picture you will see 3 symbols corresponding to workout, travel and muscle stress. The symbol that is highlighted is generally what you would use Mooyee to combat. For example, biceps/forearms are usually from exercise pain, not so much general muscle aches or travel.
Each body part graphic will also give you a recommended Mooyee level and sensation. Please note that the S1 does not have all these sensations and will only go up to level 10.
Activation is before movement to stimulate a muscle. You can do this for just 5 minutes to warm a muscle up. If for a medical reason please leave on 15-20 minutes.
Recovery is after exercise, you would put Mooyee on within 2 hours of the exercise and leave it on from 15-30 minutes depending on the size of the muscle and how hard you worked.
Tension is for general discomfort. It is recommended about 20-30 minutes for tension relief but you will feel a difference after 4 minutes.
TRAPS:
TRES MINOR:
There is a collection of muscles on top of your scapular. To relieve these, place the Mooyee under the prominent bone at the top of your scapular and away from your armpit
M1: Place on a diagonal starting just under the bone and down towards your feet, on the soft tissue. Use for around 15-20 minutes and then swap sides.
M2: Place just under the bone and down towards your feet, on the soft tissue. Use for around 15-20 minutes on both sides.
S1: Place just under the bone and down towards your feet, on the soft tissue. Use for around 15-20 minutes and then swap sides.
PEC:
Only place on this muscle if you have prominent muscle tone and no heart issues. If you are unsure then don’t use and ask advice from a medical professional. If you are using after exercise, put Mooyee on within 2 hours of completing your workout for the best recovery.
M1: Place on the largest part of the muscle or where sore. Use for around 15-20 minutes and then swap sides.
M2: Place on the largest part of the muscle or where sore. Use for around 15-20 minutes on both sides.
S1: Place on the largest part of the muscle or where sore. Use for around 15-20 minutes and then swap sides.
BICEPS/FOREARMS:
Place Mooyee in the highest point on the muscles. Flex and you see the muscles raise so you can see the best placement.
M1: If you have large arms then you can place the M1 across horizontally but generally you would run down along the direction of your arm. Use for around 15-20 minutes and then swap sides.
M2: If you have large arms then you can place the M2 across horizontally or even put both halves on each side of the bicep muscle, then move to the other arm. Use for around 15-20 minutes.
S1: Place on the largest part of the muscle or where sore either along the muscle or across it. Use for around 15-20 minutes and then swap sides.
LOWER BACK:
Lower back is fantastic for Mooyee. You can place anywhere away from the spine as long as you can feel the contraction and it feels great. Where ever you instinctively place your hand when it is sore, is always the best place.
M1: Generally you would run down along the direction of your spine anywhere that feels uncomfortable. There are lots of muscles that tend to get sore so you can’t really go wrong. With the M1 you can also place the 2 circles that conduct the electricity either side of your spine very comfortably at any point on the back.
M2: Generally you would run down along the direction of your spine anywhere that feels uncomfortable. There are lots of muscles that tend to get sore so you can’t really go wrong. You can put both halves on one side or one on each side depending your preference and discomfort. It is best to avoid running M2 over the spine but you can place up close to get the muscles around the spine.
Use for around 15-20 minutes.
S1: Generally you would run down along the direction of your spine, anywhere that feels uncomfortable. There are lots of muscles that tend to get sore so you can’t really go wrong just avoid putting over the spine instead just move one side then the other.
QL:
The Quadratus lumborum muscle can get very tight. When you lean over to the side to stretch your lower back, this is the muscle you are stretching. Placement for this is above the hip bones and close in to the spine, find the crease between both and start the Mooyee there and pointing up towards your head along the spine.
M1: Use for around 15-20 minutes and then swap sides.
M2: Use for around 15-20 minutes on both sides.
S1: Use for around 15-20 minutes and then swap sides.
GLUTES:
This is a massive muscle so you can put anywhere that you feel will be of benefit. The highest point of the muscle at contraction is a good place to start.
M1: Use for around 15-20 minutes and then swap sides.
M2: Use for around 15-20 minutes on both sides or both halves on one side.
S1: Use for around 15-20 minutes and then swap sides.
TRICEPS:
There are 3 strands of muscle in a tricep. You can lay the Mooyee across the muscles or down along them, that will depend on the size of your arm and preference. Put in the middle section of the muscle as it will stimulate the full band.
M1: Use for around 15-20 minutes and then swap sides. Either across the muscle or lengthways.
M2: Use for around 15-20 minutes on both sides or side by side to get more of the muscle bands.
S1: Use for around 15-20 minutes and then swap sides.
IT BAND:
This is the thick band that runs down along your leg. You will find these get very tight if you are a runner. A trigger point ball is great to release this band as well as your Mooyee. The best section of the IT band is just under the hip and upper femur. If you press into the side of your upper leg and find the protruding bone (femur or femoral head) that is where you start the Mooyee and run it down your leg from just under the femoral head.
M1: Use for around 15-20 minutes and then swap sides. You can also move down in the same line of the body but closer to the knee.
M2: Use for around 15-20 minutes on both sides or you can line up the Mooyees length ways running down the leg to get all of the IT Band.
S1: Use for around 15-20 minutes and then swap sides. You can also move down in the same line of the body but closer to the knee.
QUADS:
This is a large muscle that has 4 parts. You may need to move the Mooyee to get all of this muscle however you can choose to run down along the band of muscle or across it.
M1: Use for around 15-20 minutes and then swap sides. You can also move down in the same line of the body but closer to the knee. If you aren’t sure then flex and see where the high point is and place there to start with.
M2: Use for around 15-20 minutes on both sides or you can line up the Mooyees length ways running down the leg. If you aren’t sure then flex and see where the high point is and place there to start with and put the Mooyee side by side so you get a few bands of the muscle.
S1: Use for around 15-20 minutes and then swap sides. You can also move down in the same line of the body, closer to the knee. If you aren’t sure then flex and see where the high point is and place there to start with.
CALVES:
There are 2 very prominent muscle bands in the calves. If your feet roll in or out you will have a preference. Calves are a really good muscle to warm up with Mooyee, you can use or just 5 minutes and you will notice a massive difference in how flexible the muscle is when you start running, cycling, hiking or use before squats.
M1: M1 is the longest Mooyee so depending on the size of your calves you might be able to get both sides by running the Mooyee across both horizontally. If you can’t get both then run the Mooyee down along the muscle and move to the other side of the same leg if you need to. 15-20 minutes is great unless you did a massive run or hike then you might want to use for 30minutes.
M2: You can use the M2 on both sides of the calf muscle on the same leg by running the Mooyee down along both vertically. If you roll in or out you might prefer just to do one side and then you can use one on each leg. 15-20 minutes is great unless you did a massive run or hike then you might want to use for 30minutes.
S1: You can put S1 on the calf muscle by running it down along the muscle vertically. There is the two sides of the muscle and you can do each one at a time. 15-20 minutes is great unless you did a massive run or hike then you might want to use for 30minutes.
LAT. DORSI:
This muscle is quite wide. You can feel the main band when you pull down laterally from above your head, it pokes out like a wing. This is a good spot for your Mooyee, where the muscle flairs out.
M1: Use for around 15-20 minutes and then swap sides longways along the wing of the muscle.
M2: Use for around 15-20 minutes longways along the wing of the muscle on each side.
SS1: Use for around 15-20 minutes and then swap sides longways along the wing of the muscle.
HAMSTRINGS:
This is a large muscle, you may need to move the Mooyee to get all of this muscle however you can choose to run down along the band of muscle or across it.
M1: Use for around 15-20 minutes and then swap sides. You can also move down in the same line of the body but closer to the knee. If you aren’t sure then flex and see where the high point is and place there to start with.
M2: Use for around 15-20 minutes on both sides or you can line up the Mooyees length ways running down the leg. If you aren’t sure then flex and see where the high point is and place there to start with and put the Mooyee side by side so you get a few bands of the muscle.
S1: Use for around 15-20 minutes and then swap sides. You can also move down in the same line of the body, closer to the knee. If you aren’t sure then flex and see where the high point is and place there to start with.
SHIN:
Mooyee is the best for shin splints! The muscle is very close to the bone so place where comfortable but still on muscle. On the highest point is fine as you will still get the relief in the whole muscle.
M1: Use for around 15-20 minutes and then swap sides.
M2: Use for around 15-20 minutes on both sides.
S1: Use for around 15-20 minutes and then swap sides.
NECK:
You can place anywhere away from the spine as long as you can feel the contraction and it feels great. Where ever you instinctively place your hand when it is sore, is always the best place.
M1: Generally you would run down along the direction of your spine anywhere that feels uncomfortable. With the M1 you can also place the 2 circles that conduct the electricity either side of your spine very comfortably at any point on the neck.
M2: Generally you would run down along the direction of your spine anywhere that feels uncomfortable. You can put one half on each side it is best to avoid running M2 over the spine but you can place up close to get the muscles around the spine.
S1: It is best to run down along the direction of your spine, anywhere that feels uncomfortable, just avoid putting over the spine instead just move one side then the other.
