Five years ago I injured my back and it's never really recovered leaving me with sporadic sharp shooting muscular spasms, dull aches and ongoing pain. I don't like taking medication, various stretchy support braces have only helped marginally but the best pain relief (or pain masking) was a TENS machine which has been my best friend ever since.This is a newer design of TENS machine which offers not only the highly effective pain masking of a TENS but also EMS, ie Neuro-Electronic Muscular Stimulation which is designed to massage and relax muscles and help prevent pain before it occurs.I have been using this machine for nearly a month and now have a new best friend, replacing the earlier model.

I remember back in the 90’s when things like this came out as cosmetic face tightening devices they cost a fortune, and then later as devices for both pain relief and muscle toning.The Pro Relax does both pain relief and muscle toning. The pain relief seems to work pretty well. I’m a web developer and spend a lot of time at the screen, then when I go home I do exactly the same thing for pleasure (yeah, I know, I’m an absolute geek!). Anyway, I get some neck pain, and this device has helped.The muscle toning I’m less sure about, but then I have not used it regularly.The Pro Relax works by passing a current through two pads (you get two pairs), and this current induces the muscles to flex.

I like working out but I don’t have the body of a god. I thought I try this out for the EMS muscle training. My partner is also a bit of a fitness freak, having played college sports to high level. She still works out a lot and does suffer from muscle pain, so the TENS relief was another reason to try this. Together we’ve been using about a month now, and are moderately happy with the results. We feel it works better for the TENS muscle relief – having used it on lower back and calf muscles (where my partner suffers pain). It’s a very easy thing to operate, with pre-programmed setting that’s last between 5 to 20 minutes. You can increase the intensity of the ‘pulse’ that runs through the muscles,

While there are a few niggles with this they don't detract from the fact that it really does make a difference. With two problems to cope with, a back muscle that causes considerable pain especially when it spasms, and an unidentified problem in one leg which gives considerable discomfort along with occasional numbness, this little device had its work cut out. It provided immediate relief from the worst of the pain, and more importantly allowed me to get on and do things that otherwise would have been too painful. Set to the programme that provides a bit of everything it relaxed the troublesome back muscle, preventing it from tensing painfully, while providing gentle massage which eased the overall pain.Now for the niggles.

I have been a keen user of a TENS machine in the past as they do actually work rather well or I should say they do in my case. I have poor circulation in my legs and it’s been getting worse of late so what better time to give this new to me model a test run so to speak. It comes in a nice and sturdy box which is handy to know if it’s being sent through the mailing system - a minor point but worth mentioning. Once unwrapped, it’s about the size of a mobile phone, as in smallish, and comes with the leads and four self adhesive electrodes for want of better words that you attach to your affected area/s plus decent instructions. Having read the instructions,

I have been using a Med-Fit 3® Digital Dual Channel TENS Machine for almost 2 years for pain relief after a car accident. The aforementioned machine has 4 small sticky electrodes and so it can be positioned around a particular spot or it can be used for wide-ranging relief. By having two different channels for the pulse variances, which the user sets, you can create any intensity you want, there are no pre-sets. The machine is also connected to the control box by wires and overall it works very well. When this item came up on the Vine programme I thought I would jump at the chance of owning a "better"/more expensive machine.Firstly, the control centre is quite small and unobtrusive.

An excellent TENs machine. Firstly it comes with 4 pads (while my previous machine only has 2 - NB. Bodyclock do a machine with 8 pads for those with multiple areas of pain).Second the stimulation starts straight away at the level 1 on the machine, my previous machine had to be turned up to 30 or higher before you could feel anything).I used it on my shoulder where I have a chronic injury that is painful a lot of the time.This machine has programs for TENs (for pain) and for EMS (for toning), so you can do some quick toning of your abdominals as well as sort out your backache. There are several different programs. I used no.8 for my shoulder and did find it helped though I used the 5 minute programme 3 times.

This arrived just in time. An unfortunate position while sleeping a couple of weeks ago left me with agonising neck and shoulder pain, almost unable to turn my head left. I've never used a Tens machine before and this seemed like the perfect opportunity to see if it'd help my recovery.The unit itself is a classic ipod sized rectangle. Definitely portable, even with batteries (included) installed. It comes with a handy clip so you can attach it to your clothes while it's in operation. The package comes with a nifty back to keep the pads and wires together.The build is high quality - the wires and sockets feel like they can take some use, while the pads are super sticky.

I'm not attempting to say whether or not this product will work to deal with any particular pain you may have as that would be wrong. This is a review about the device itself and what it does. First of all, it is very small. You get the controller and 4 pads which are about 40mm square. These are coated with a stick substance that allows you to get them to stay on your skin. I can't comment on how long they last but it seems very effective. If you are anything like me, you only skim the manual so here is what you need to do to get the thing working as it took me a couple of goes and I was beginning to think it was broken, User error as usual!You need to have the pads in place on your skin first and connected.

I have tried different styles of TENS machines over the past few years and some which were much more expensive and with more different levels than this one, but this for me is the winner.I have had bad neck and upper back pain/tightening for the past few weeks and last night I finally took the time to unpack this new machine and what a difference it made! It was painful! But afterwards the relief was wonderful! And I'm still enjoying the relief this morning in the office.The selling points for this machine:• Dual effect with the TENS and EMS Duo therapy mode• TENS Function: For the relief of chronic intractable pain• EMS function: For relaxation and for the training of muscles• 2 channels,

I`ve used a few TENS machines over the recent years, and I`ve also used the EMS-style muscle training machines too. This doesn`t compromise on either function in it`s bid to make a 2-in-1 device. I did think that it`d be reaching a small market - you has muscle pain and also wants to use the muscle trainer? - then I realised that I do. And logically, almost anyone that has one would like the other. So it`s probably a very good idea. It works slightly better as a TENS in my opinion, but then I`m on other pain-relief meds so that isn`t as big a problem for me as it was once. The muscle trainer is not as good as specialist like the one Ronaldo advertises,

Luckily for me the recurring back problem that comes back to haunt me from time to time has been notably absent since I got this. But unfortunately I finally had cause to try it out properly over the last week following a nasty spasm. I am impressed by the range and power of the stimuli delivered by this little box on AAA batteries - each TENS cycle has noticeably different sensation though all of them seemed to help with the spasms and pain. I can't say how much of this might have been placebo effect but as it made my experience of the pain better I am not too worried.My main criticism is that I feel a quality device at this price should come with some more electrode pads to get you going.

I bought this TENS machine as a replacement for an older Boots Advanced TENS machine that ceased to work before the Christmas holidays.This prorelax EMS & TENS machine DUO is a compact unit that is easy to wear and clips unobtrusively onto a belt/waistband or fits comfortably into a shirt pocket, so it can be easily worn during the day. The unit is easy to use and the controls are intuitive. There is a good choice of programs for both TENS and EMS with an instructive booklet with suggestions on how to choose the most suitable program for different types of pain relief/muscle stimulation.I am a regular user of a TENS machine,

This is a really simple basic TENS machine. I first used a TENS machine for the very specific experience of childbirth, but soon found that it was so helpful that I was much better able to manage my pain management.After using TENS for my labours for my children, I didn't need to use one for years, but more recently, I have been suffering with ongoing back and knee issues and as I am reluctant to become reliant on painkillers, I thought I should try using TENS for pain relief for my pain.You can move the patches to focus on the area causing you pain or discomfort. I have found that it helps with pain and with muscle tension and spasms.

Absolutely amazing!This is my first experience with a TENS machine. I have suffered with lower back pain for just over two years. I was recommended to get a TENS machine, and after a bit of research this one seemed like the best option!After reading the leaflet which explains the settings and durations recommended for each- I chose one and managed to eventually turn it up to the maximum setting. I feel such a pain relief already! I recommended this to anyone I have already messaged those I know who suffer with similar issues!It's really easy to set up and there is a lock mode so you don't need to worth about knocking buttons and unintentionally turning it up or down while you are using it!Just a side note- make sure you use all four electrode pads at once,
