TENS - Transcutaneous Electrical Neural Stimulation has been designed to stimulate sensory nerve endings in order to decrease perception of pain. The stimulus blocks pain signals passing along the nerves to the central nervous system. TENS stimulus also stimulates production of endorphins - naturally produced chemical substances that change sensory perception of pain and induce the feeling of well being. TENS machines are used effectively for pain relief.
EMS - Electric Muscle Stimulation is a well proven method of muscle rehabilitation commonly used in medicine and sports medicine. EMS is also frequently used as in addition to conventional training and fitness methods to actively increase muscle strength, muscle efficiency and muscle endurance. EMS delivers muscle relaxation that helps to relieve muscle tension and muscle fatigue as well as accelerate muscle regeneration after increased muscular demands (i.e. after a marathon or other similarly strenuous activity). EMS and electric muscle stimulators are used for muscle recovery and muscle rehabilitation.
Electric Massage - the Beurer TENS EMS EM 80 offers integrated electric massage that further reduces muscle tension, combats fatigue and improves the feeling of wellness. The integrated massage function delivers electric massage that is and feels real in terms of its effects and sensations.
