4frequency pulses) and increasing the secretion of the body’s own en-dorphines which reduce awareness of pain through their effect on thecentral nervous system. The method is scientifically underpinned andmedically approved.Any symptoms indicating TENS application must be clarified with thedoctor in charge of your treatment. The latter will also give you infor-mation on the respective benefits of TENS self-treatment.TENS is clinically tested and approved with the following applications:• Back pain, particularly also lumbar and cervical spine problems• Joint pain (e.g. knee joint, hip joint, shoulder)• Neuralgia• Headaches• Women’s period pains• Pain after injuries to musculoskeletal system• Pain with circulatory problems• Chronic pain through various causesElectrical muscle stimulation (EMS) is a widespread and generallyrecognised method and has been used for years in sports and rehabili-tation medicine. In the sports and fitness field, one of the uses of EMSis as a supplement to conventional muscle training, in order to increasethe efficiency of muscle groups and adapt physical proportions to thedesired aesthetic results. EMS application goes in two directions. Onthe one hand, a targeted strengthening of musculature can be produced(activating application) and on the other hand a relaxing, resting effectcan also be achieved (relaxing application).Active application includes the following:• Muscle training to improve endurance performance and/or• Muscle training to support the strengthening of certain muscles ormuscle groups in order to achieve desired changes to body propor-tions.Relaxing application includes the following:• Muscle relaxation in order to loosen up muscular tension• Improving muscular fatigue symptoms• Accelerating muscle regeneration after high muscular performance(e.g. after a marathon).Through integrated massage technology, Digital EMS/TENS alsooffers the possibility of reducing muscular tension and combating fa-tigue symptoms using a programme based on real massage in terms ofsensation and effect.Using the positioning suggestions and programme charts in thismanual, you can determine the machine setting fast and easily for therespective application (depending on the region of the body affected)in order to ensure the desired effect.Through the two separately adjustable channels, the Digital EMS/TENShas the advantage of adapting the intensity of the pulses indepen-dently of each other to two parts of the body to be treated, for examplein order to cover both sides of the body or ensure even stimulation oflarger areas of tissue. The individual intensity setting of each channelalso allows you to treat two different parts of the body at the sametime, whereby it is possible to save time compared with individual se-quential treatment.1.2 Scope of supply– 1x Digital EMS/TENS machine (incl. belt clip)– 2x connecting cable– 4x adhesive electrodes (45 x 45 mm)– 3x AAA batteries– these instructions for useSubsequent purchase articles8x adhesive electrodes (45 x 45 mm), Art. no. 661.224x adhesive electrodes (50 x 100 mm), Art. no. 661.212.
