TENS in combination with EMS - a helpful combination
TENS in combination with EMS applications?
TENS treatment can help you improve blood circulation[1] and relieve pain in any part of the body[2]. This can help you with permanent complaints and protect you from pain as a preventive measure. A subsequent EMS application has a further positive effect on the musculature and prevents the development of complaints. Your musculature receives an improved muscle tone through the permanent impulse and the impulse pause. Irritated ligaments can thus be relieved and have the opportunity to calm down again through the increasing muscular stability.

Application example from practice: back pain
Often the body unconsciously adopts a protective posture due to the back pain in order to relieve the painful area.
This posture can in turn lead to tension and trigger new complaints. TENS therapy can help you relieve back pain[2]. EMS, in turn, can help you prevent these tensions and relieve existing ones. Not to forget that the compressed intervertebral spaces are given the opportunity to expand again and to be optimally supplied with nutrients. EMS applications in combination with TENS stimulation current therapy can help you prevent back pain in advance or free yourself from back pain in the long term.
Muscular imbalances due to one-sided strain, an operation or injury from competitive sports...and now?
Muscular imbalances can cause considerable discomfort. Over time, these then increase more and more. Most of the time, these imbalances are not immediately noticeable. Only after some time do the first complaints become apparent and thus indicate a problem.
o eliminate a muscular imbalance, an EMS machine in combination with TENS electrostimulation can help you. You can attach the pads directly to the affected muscles. With this device, the affected muscles can be directly addressed and specifically trained. However, it is recommended to stimulate both sides if there is an imbalance. The body naturally works holistically and can thus adapt more quickly.
With the TENS application, your muscles are first activated and then immediately trained by the EMS training. In contrast to conventional training, where only a part of the muscle fibres is activated, the EMS training stimulates all fibres of your muscle. This leads to efficient and rapid strengthening.
Since EMS training reaches the muscles in all muscle layers, imbalances can be corrected gently and in a targeted manner.
