Video instruction for the treatment of sciatica with TENS
Train your muscles to prevent pain
After the TENS treatment, you can loosen the muscles with the EMS programmes P29 or P30 to release tension. Adjust the intensity so that you feel slight muscle twitches. You can use the relaxation for 10 to 20 minutes.
With EMS, you can train the muscles in addition to pain therapy to strengthen the back and prevent future discomfort. Especially if you do a lot of activities in a sitting position, such as office work, the back muscles are often not sufficiently trained. EMS training with an EMS device has a preventive effect on the development of complaints. With the EMS programme P17 you can optimally build up your muscles. Choose an intensity just below the pain threshold for the best effect. You should feel clear contractions. The application should not last longer than 4 minutes at the beginning, with a little practice you can increase to 6 minutes. Afterwards, you can loosen the muscles again with P29 and P30 to avoid muscle soreness.
