Step 1: Identify proper placement
Locate the fibular head
Reboot Geko device is easiest to place if you are seated and your legs are bent.
How do I locate the fibular head?
To find the fibular head, start at your outer ankle bone and follow the side of your leg up toward your knee until you reach the fibular head (or bony spot), which is just below the knee on the outside of the leg.
Why is the fibular head important?
Locating the fibular head is important in order to stimulate the peroneal nerve, which is located near here. Stimulating the nerve will cause your feet to twitch causing increased blood flow and circulation to enhance recover.
Step 2: Apply Reboot Geko device
Prep the Reboot Geko device
Carefully peel off the plastic backing and save it to store the device. Take care not to get any debris on the gel as it helps to ensure conductivity and adhesion.
Place the device
Ensure the application area is clean and dry. Place the device so that the raised indicator line (marked with arrows) is positioned at the center of the fibular head.
Confirm the position is correct
The circular head of the device should be positioned towards the front of the leg - with the tail of the device wrapped around to the back of the calf, just below the crease of the knee.
Step 3: Turn the device ON/OFF
How to turn the device ON
Quickly press the (+) button to turn on.
How to Increase and Decrease levels
There are 11 levels and the light will blink to indicate the level (2 flashes = level 2). You may need to increase the level so that your feet will twitch. Slowly raise the intensity by pressing the (+) button or decrease the intensity by pressing the (-) button. Find a level that is comfortable while also providing a slight "flutter" of your feet.
How to turn the device OFF
After using the Geko device, press the (-) button and hold for 3-seconds to power OFF. After you remove the device, replace the plastic backing for storage.
