INTRODUCTION TO THE SPORTS TENS 2
The Sports TENS 2 is a multi-purpose combination unit that offers the latest in electro muscle stimulation and TENS.
It has three basic functions, which can be used in combination:
1. Stimulation of sensory nerves for Pain Relief (TENS).
2. Stimulation of motor nerves and muscle tissue (EMS) to build and alter muscle function
3. A massage effect.
To achieve this, the device has two independent stimulation channels and four self adhesive electrodes. It offers a choice from a large number of settings designed to increase general wellbeing, alleviate pain, maintain physical fitness, aid relaxation, revitalize muscles and combat fatigue. You can either select these settings from pre-set programmes or determine them yourself according to your requirements.

HOW TENS WORKS
TENS stands for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation. TENS stimulates your body’s own natural defences against pain. It is totally safe, and has been used successfully by thousands of pain sufferers.
TENS sends a gentle stimulation through the skin which works in TWO ways:-
Pain Gate
Stimulating the sensory nerves, which carry touch and temperature signals. These nerves go to the same connections in the spine as the nerves carrying pain. A strong sensory signal will block the pain signal travelling up the spine to the brain. This is known as closing the “Pain Gate” and takes effect quite quickly after the unit is switched on. You can use TENS several times a day, for as long as you like.
Endorphin Release
At low frequency settings, and slightly stronger output, TENS drives the motor nerves to produce a small repetitive muscle contraction. This is seen by the brain as exercise, and this promotes release of Endorphins – your body’s own natural pain killer. The relief builds up and normally takes about 40 minutes to reach a maximum level which can last for hours after the machine is switched off. By using TENS you can expect to achieve a significant reduction in pain.
Side Effects
There are no known side effects to TENS use and long-term TENS use is not harmful.
Positioning the electrodes for TENS
The TENS effect is confined to the nerves entering a single vertebra in the spine. To be effective, you therefore need to stimulate a sensory nerve entering the spine at the same level as the nerve carrying the pain. For this reason electrodes are usually first placed where the greatest pain is felt. Nerves follow the curve of the ribs, and spiral around the limbs, so you will need to try different positions until you
