What is the Physio Duo Tens + Digital?
The Physio Duo TENS+ Digital is a 2-in1 digital TENS unit with an Electric Muscle Stimulator EMS.
What is a TENS machine?
TENS is the abbreviation of ‘Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation’. In TENS therapy, a small, hand-held, battery-operated unit delivers a low-voltage electrical current through the skin via electrodes placed around the source of pain. The impulses from the electrodes stimulate nerves in the affected area and send signals to the brain that ‘interferes’ with normal pain sensation. A Tens machine can be beneficial as a muscle stimulator, nerve stimulator and electrical massager. It has been prescribed by doctors and used by physiotherapists for over 40 years.
It is mostly used to alleviate pain from arthritis, sciatica, shoulder pain, knee, foot, leg pain, lower back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, whiplash, tennis elbow, diabetic neuropathy, period or labour pain.
What is EMS?
While TENS stimulates the sensory nerve endings – with the objective to provide pain relief - EMS stimulates muscle motor nerves to cause muscle contraction. EMS is beneficial in muscle exercise, muscle re-education and prevention of disuse atrophy. EMS is also proven to improve the range of motion, treat muscle strains and increase blood circulation (to promote natural healing).
The electrotherapy unit is specialized in muscle stimulation and is perfect for sports injury rehabilitation. Stimulates soreness, stiffness, chronic pain and aches from your back, shoulder, leg and knee. Very useful for sciatica and arthritis sufferers.
