The Sports TENS 2 unit uses TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) and EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulator) to provide muscle and nerve stimulation for muscle toning, pain relief and rehabilitation.
TENS
- helping the body to release endorphins (natural painkillers)
- By blocking pain signals to the brain.
- provides intensive muscle contraction in order to react with specific nerves supplying a particular muscle group.
- 27 EMS programs
- 10 TENS programs
- 10 massage programs
- 8 user defined programs enabling you to experiment and save your favourite settings
- Rechargeable Li-on Battery
- External Charger included
- Backlit LCD screen
- Comfortable strength control
- A Sports TENS 2 used in the direct vicinity of a pacemaker may affect settings on some pacemaker models.
- Applying the Sports TENS 2 unit on the front of your neck can affect your heart rate.
- An extra heartbeat may be caused if the Sports TENS 2 unit is used on a strong setting across the chest.
- Seizure threshold may be affected if you have epilepsy.
- First trimester of gestation (Pregnancy) There are no test results to indicate what the effect would be on a foetus
- Second and Third trimesters of gestation (Pregnancy) Immediately cease use if unexpected contractions occur.
- Damaged or loose leads and pads, as well as improper contact with the skin (Caused by movement of the body) may result in brief involuntary muscle movements (Contraction of muscle)
- Should you be experiencing pain of an unknown cause, use of the Sports TENS 2 may delay diagnosis of a serious or progressive condition.
- May result in interference with signals being monitored.
- Doing so could result in the unit malfunctioning.
- Should the unit appear to be operating incorrectly, move away from the source of the electromagnetic field
- Stimulation may interfere with the healing process.
- The pads could encourage infection.
- If the skin is numb, too great a strength may be used, which could result in skin inflammation.
- The airway could close resulting breathing problems.
- May cause a vasovagal response (sudden drop in blood pressure)
- Eyesight could be affected or bring about headaches.
- Effect on stroke or epileptic patients or people who have had seizures is not yet known.
- May affect sense of balance.
- The effects of stimulation of the brain are unknown.
- In vitro experiments have shown that electricity can promote cell growth.
- Ignore allergic reactions to electrode pads. If a skin irritation develops refrain from using TENS
