TENS units and EMS units may be very helpful when recovering from an injury or surgery. The 2 are very different, but often come together in a single unit just like the FlexTone models I exploit on this video. Purchase a TENS/EMS unit on my website:
What is the difference between TENS and EMS?
TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) is used to assist reduce pain and increase circulation. Principally the vibration of the TENS follows the identical pathway because the pain pathway to the brain and helps cancel it out. It’s an incredible alternative to pain medication. A TENS uses 4 electrodes with cross currents to surround the realm. The deep vibration/massage helps loosen up the muscles and permit for healing.
EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) helps contract the muscles to construct back up strength after an injury. With EMS the muscles will actually contract, and you need to use it as a tool while exercising to assist retrain the muscle to work how its suppose to. It uses two electrodes directly over the muscle you are attempting to contract.
