TENS PROGRAMS:
When using any of the 8 programs for pain relief, always start with the lowest intensity level and gradually increase the level of
intensity until you feel a “tingling” sensation. All programs are different and therefore have a different sensation. You may try all
8 programs in the beginning and choose one that feels pleasant. Never increase the intensity to a level that it hurts; always
stay under the point of discomfort. Start with short sessions of 5 to 10 minutes until your body gets used to the stimulation.
