TENS PROGRAMMES
5.8 Constant and Burst Modes
Constant mode is when the sensation is continuous as against Burst mode when the sensation, is as
its name implies, is one of on and off.
5.9 Modulation Modes
Modulation is when the frequency sweeps across range of settings. This enables the body to receive
many different signals and can be very beneficial and lessen any effect of accommodation.
WARNING
Consult your healthcare professional before altering these settings. Correct settings depend on your
muscle tone and exercise goals. Inappropriate settings could cause discomfort, undesired muscle
balance, or even muscle injury.
5.10 WARM, TRAIN & COOL Phases

•
A WARM up phase to prepare the muscle for work/
•
A TRAIN phase, which works the muscles
