Home T.E.N.S Electronic Pain Reliever
Registered Class 2a Medical Device The Home T.E.N.S, unlike most of its competitors, is a registered medical device in Europe and the United States. It has FDA, (Food & Drug Administration), approval in the United States and MDD, (Medical Devices Directive), approval in the U.K and Europe. Customer Testimony: The Tens was recommended to me when I suddenly developed back and sciatic pain: when it arrived in the post I was a little sceptical that such a light-weight, apparently simple little machine would be effective. But it is! Indeed it is simple to use, but remarkably efficient and it is easy to select the programme which brings relief from one's own particular type of pain. The treatment itself is not at all painful, and the 15-minute sessions can be fitted into any time of the day that is convenient. I was recommended to use the Tens by a doctor friend, and it has proved to be highly beneficial. My sciatica has not quite gone, but it has quickly diminished to a point where I hardly think about it. Mrs Crosby How Does T.E.N.S work? Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulators (T.E.N.S) generate electrical impulses that are sent through the electrodes which can be strategically placed over nerve centres. Pain signals to the brain are blocked by the T.E.N.S. interrupting the brains awareness of pain. Stimulation of the nerve centres may activate endorphins which are used by the body to suppress pain naturally. This T.E.N.S therapy can relieve chronic or acute pain such as back pain, sciatica, sports strains & sprains, muscle injuries and aching joints. Dual Channel T.E.N.S The Home Masseur is a dual channel TENS device and should not be mistaken for a single channel device. With a dual channel device you can use 4 electrodes simultaneously, instead of just 2 electrodes as with the single channel devices. This enables you to give pain relief to a much wider area of the body and is ideal for use on the back, shoulders, arms and legs. Massage Modes There are three massage modes which are rubbing, tapping and kneading, these modes are sometimes referred to as burst, normal and modulation. The 3 massage modes can be experienced as part of the automatic programs, or can be controlled manually by selecting the mode and then adjusting the strength as desired. Automatic Programs The four automatic programs use a combination of the 3 modes, (rubbing, tapping & kneading), at varying strengths, and are designed to target specific areas of your body: Shoulders, Waist/Back, Joints, Hands/Feet.
