Easy@Home TENS Handheld Electronic Pulse Massager Unit #Review #EZ_TENS_EHE009

An electronic pulse massager is another term for a TENS unit (Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) is the use of electric current produced by a device to stimulate the nerves for therapeutic purposes. TENS Therapy has been approved by the FDA and has been prescribed by doctors as a safe, reliable pain management system for decades.

The Easy@Home TENS Handheld Electronic Pulse Massager comes with everything you need to get started: two sets of wires, 2 sets of 2 reusable electrode patches for a total of four, one unit and 4 AAA batteries. It also comes with an instructions booklet, that in my opinion need’s a little more info on the different settings and usage of the unit.

There are 5 preset functions for specific areas, 1- Waist, 2- Shoulder, 3- Joint, 4- Hand/leg, and 5- Sole; three additional settings: massage, beat and knead. The intensity can be set individually in a scale from 1 to 10 and the speed is adjustable.

Our Experience and Review:

Once the unit had the battery on, I proceeded to attach the electrodes to the area where I was filling pain, basically my lower back, the electrodes are very sticky and were easy to apply, although depending were you are going to apply them you may need help to reach some spots of your body. Once the device was turn on, it was just a matter of selecting the proper settings or what I felt was better, in my case I selected the massage option and controlled the intensity, increasing it every few minutes.

These units send pulsed of electronic signals to the muscles and nerves beneath the skin, making the muscles tighten and releasing over and over again, stimulating the nerves to relieve pain from irritated and or inflamed muscles. I have to say that it felt just like the sessions I use to have at the chiropractor and it has the same result: a reduce in pain and relaxation of the muscles.

Next, was my wife turn to use it. She had pain in her left shoulder and arm. So we proceeded to apply the electrodes 1 in between the shoulder and neck, the second one near the shoulder plate, the third one on the triceps and the last one in the forearm. We connected the electrodes to the unit and turned it on to an intensity of 2, selected the shoulder preset, and pass the unit to her. While she was laying in the sofa she move to accommodate the pilot on her head and accidentally turn one of the knobs and her entire arm went crazy, she couldn’t stop it nor couldn’t stop the unit because the movement and pain of her arm was to mush to handle, I finally took the unit in my hand and turn the nob to the lowest settings. Needles to say this did more harm to her arm, so we change the setting to massage and apply a warm compress, at the end of the session she was feeling better.
