frequency pulses) and increasing the secretion of the body’s own en-
dorphines which reduce awareness of pain through their effect on the
central nervous system. The method is scientifically underpinned and
medically approved.
Any symptoms indicating TENS application must be clarified with the
doctor in charge of your treatment. The latter will also give you infor-
mation on the respective benefits of TENS self-treatment.
TENS is clinically tested and approved with the following applications:
• Back pain, particularly also lumbar and cervical spine problems
• Joint pain (e.g. knee joint, hip joint, shoulder)
• Neuralgia
• Headaches
• Women’s period pains
• Pain after injuries to musculoskeletal system
• Pain with circulatory problems
• Chronic pain through various causes
Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS)
is a widespread and generally
recognised method and has been used for years in sports and rehabili-
tation medicine. In the sports and fitness field, one of the uses of EMS
is as a supplement to conventional muscle training, in order to increase
the efficiency of muscle groups and adapt physical proportions to the
desired aesthetic results. EMS application goes in two directions. On
the one hand, a targeted strengthening of musculature can be produced
(activating application) and on the other hand a relaxing, resting effect
can also be achieved (relaxing application).
Active application includes the following:
• Muscle training to improve endurance performance and/or
• Muscle training to support the strengthening of certain muscles or
muscle groups in order to achieve desired changes to body propor-
tions.
Relaxing application includes the following:
• Muscle relaxation in order to loosen up muscular tension
• Improving muscular fatigue symptoms
• Accelerating muscle regeneration after high muscular performance
(e.g. after a marathon).
Through
integrated massage technology
, Digital EMS/TENS also
offers the possibility of reducing muscular tension and combating fa-
tigue symptoms using a programme based on real massage in terms of
sensation and effect.
Using the positioning suggestions and programme charts in this
manual, you can determine the machine setting fast and easily for the
respective application (depending on the region of the body affected)
in order to ensure the desired effect.
Through the two separately adjustable channels, the Digital EMS/TENS
has the advantage of adapting the intensity of the pulses indepen-
dently of each other to two parts of the body to be treated, for example
in order to cover both sides of the body or ensure even stimulation of
larger areas of tissue. The individual intensity setting of each channel
also allows you to treat two different parts of the body at the same
time, whereby it is possible to save time compared with individual se-
quential treatment.
