Care and Usage Tips
6
Cleaning
• DO NOT SUBMERGE YOUR XPRS IN ANY FLUID OR USE CHEMICAL CLEANERS
• XPRS device: use disinfecting cleaning wipes or light soap and damp cloth
• Plate, Y, Point: disinfecting cleaning wipes or soap and water; Ball: water only
• Make sure attachment heads are fully dry before inserting them into the XPRS gun
General Care
• Do not use any attachments other than the ones included with your XPRS and use
only as instructed by NIMBL
• Do not run the battery all the way to empty
• Store in a cool dry place
• Do not use for longer than 15 continual minutes in one session
First Use
If you are new to percussive or massage tools, let's do a test run:
• Sit comfortably in a chair with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor
• Insert the Ball head attachment
• Turn on your XPRS to the lowest speed (1700 RPM)
• Apply the ball head to the middle of your quad (upper front part of your leg)
• Move up and down floating the Ball on the surface of your leg
• Try to avoid any bony structures, including the knee cap
• Don’t press too firmly, and notice how it feels; it should feel like a massage
• If at any point you feel “unusual” pain, discontinue use. If in doubt, check with your
physician or medical professional
Pressure
• Start with minimal pressure and increase the pressure as your body adjusts
• At higher speeds, float the head across the tissue
• At lower speeds and for more dense tissue areas, greater pressure may be applied
TIP: Let feel be your guide as pain shuts down tissue communication. When increasing
pressure, do so gradually, increasing incrementally each day.
Usage Time
• Pre-workout or pre-activity percuss in the range of 15-45 seconds to activate
tissue for movement preparation
• During your Workout or if you just need a quick pick me up, percuss in the range
of 10-20 seconds as a “muscle wake up” inside the workout or activity
• For Post workout or activity and pain management percuss the areas up to 2
minutes and no longer to create blood flow, breakdown adhesions/fibrotic
tissue and stimulate the body’s natural healing process
• Do not use continuously for more than 15 minutes
• TIP: start with less time and increase as your experience and understanding
increases
General Performance Tips
• Breathe: Oxygen is key to tissue response and breath is key to recovery and a
good percussive session. Slow, deep belly breaths are essential to recovery as it
allows the brain (nervous system) to relax, which enhances the efficacy of the
XPRS
• Muscle Tension: Use your XPRS to help loosen tight muscles and to regenerate
tissue pathways. For example: start with your leg straight and begin to percuss
your quad (front top of your leg). While percussing, bend your knee
• Hydrate: Proper hydration is important to overall health and to muscle recovery
Device Control
If the attachment head jumps or bounces off of the muscle while percussing,
simply change the angle of the attachment head and/or change the speed.
Stubborn Areas
When working on a particularly stubborn area, decrease the speed of
the XPRS to 1700 RPM and percuss around, not directly on the area.
Then, with soft pressure, increase the speed up to 2200 RPM or faster and percuss
the area.
