It is provided with a pair of electrically conductive parts on the upper surface of an insulating base support. Accordingly, the soles are placed on the respective conductive parts while the feet of the user are arranged side by side. Here, a manipulator for adjusting the frequency or voltage of the low wave current applied to the conductive portion is provided separately.

In low frequency therapies of this kind, the manipulators are generally connected to the base pedestal via cords, which, when in use, hold the manipulators in hand. Therefore, there is a disadvantage that the manipulator feels cumbersome when not in use. Although it has been considered to integrate the manipulator on the basic pedestal side, in this case, there is a problem that the base pedestal side becomes large or the operation becomes inconvenient.

On the other hand, a low frequency treatment device having a pair of pressure-sensitive adhesive conductors that can be attached and detached to a suitable portion of the body is widely known, the manipulator used here can also be used in conjunction with the low frequency treatment device for the sole. However, the reality is that it has not been tested until one manipulator is shared.
