using electrodes, via our skin. The electrodes can be applied to many parts of
the body, as the electrical impulses produced are completely harmless and vir-
tually painless. In certain applications you may perceive just a slight tingling or
vibrating sensation. The electrical pulses that are sent into the tissue influence
the transmission of stimulation into nerves, nerve centres and muscle groups
in the application area.
Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) is a widely used and recognised method
which has been used in sports and rehabilitation medicine for years.
Electrostimulation is generally only noticeably e ective with regular use. Elec-
trostimulation of muscles is not a substitute for regular training. However, it is a
useful, supplementary training element.
Getting to know the TENS device
TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) is the electrical stimulation
of nerves through the skin. TENS is an e ective non-pharmacological method
for treating di erent types of pain from a variety of causes. It has no side e ects
if administered correctly. The method has been clinically tested and approved
and can be used for simple self-treatment. The pain-relieving or pain-suppress-
ing e ect is achieved by inhibiting the transfer of pain to nerve fibres (mainly
by means of high-frequency pulses) as well as by increasing the secretion of
endorphins in the body, because they have an e ect on the central nervous
system which reduces the sensation of pain. The method has been scientifical-
ly substantiated and approved as a form of medical treatment. Any symptoms
that could be relieved using TENS must be checked by your GP. Your doctor
will also give you instructions on how to carry out a TENS self-treatment re-
gime.
Getting to know the EMS device
In sports and fitness, electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) is used to comple-
ment conventional muscle training, to increase the performance of muscle
groups and to adjust physical proportions to achieve the desired aesthetic re-
sults, amongst other things. There are two di erent types of EMS application.
One is for targeted strengthening of the muscles (activating application), and
the other is to achieve a relaxing, restful e ect (relaxing application).
Getting to know MASSAGE
Thanks to integrated massage technology, the device is also able to relieve
muscle tension and combat fatigue with a program based on the sensation
and e ects of a real massage. The positioning suggestions and program ta-
bles in these instructions for use enable you to quickly and easily determine
the appropriate application (depending on the a ected area of the body) and

set the device to achieve the desired e ects. Thanks to the two separately
adjustable channels, this Digital TENS/EMS device o ers you the advantage
of being able to set the intensity of the pulses independently from each other
for two treatment areas on the body, for example to cover both sides of your
body or to evenly stimulate larger areas of tissue. The option to individually set
the intensity of each channel also enables you to treat two separate areas of
the body simultaneously instead of having to treat the individual areas in turn.
This saves you time.
