The method is scientifically substantiated and approved
as a form of medical treatment. Any symptoms that could
be relieved using TENS must be checked by your GP. Your
doctor will also give you instructions on how to carry out a
TENS self-treatment regime.
Function #1: TENS is clinically tested and
approved to treat the following:
• Back pain, particularly in the lumbar/cervical spine area
• Sore joints (e.g. knee, hip and shoulder joints)
• Neuralgia
• Menstrual cramps in women
• Pain resulting from injury to the musculoskeletal system
• Pain caused by circulatory disorders
• Chronic pain with various causes.
Function #2: Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS)
is a widespread and recognised method and has
been used in sports medicine and rehabilitation
for years.
In sports and fitness, EMS is used to complement
conventional muscle training, to increase the performance
of muscle groups and to adjust physical proportions to
achieve the desired aesthetic results.
There are two types of EMS application: one is for targeted
strengthening of the muscles (activating application), and
the other is to achieve a relaxing, restful effect (relaxing
application).
The activating application involves:
• Muscle training to increase endurance and/or
• Muscle training to support the strengthening of specific
muscles or muscle groups, and to achieve the desired
changes to physical proportions.
The relaxing application involves:
• Muscle relaxation for easing muscle tension
• Improving symptoms of muscular fatigue
• Acceleration of muscle regeneration after high muscle
performance (e.g. after a marathon).
