INTRODUCTION

Device Description & Principles of Design
The Sports TENS 2 combines the
treatment capabilities of a TENS
device, an EMS or NMES device,
and a relaxing massage stimulator in one unit.
It sends a small and gentle stimulation (similar
to your natural nerve impulses) to the muscles
being treated via two or four auto-adhesive
electrode pads, in order to help you to firm and
tone your body.
Rehabilitation:
neuromuscular
muscle re-education,
prevention/slowing of atrophy/hypotrophy. EMS
has been shown to improve blood flow and
circulation.
Sports training: improve muscle strength and
performance; warm up, strength, speed, power,
resistance, endurance and recovery.
Muscle relaxation: loosening up of muscular
tension, improving muscular fatigue symptoms
and reduced fatigue and muscle tension.
