TENS, 

or transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation

, relates 

to the electrical stimulation of the nerves via the skin. TENS is 

an effective non-pharmacological method of treating different 

types of pain that have a variety of causes. It has no side-effects 

if administered correctly. The method has been clinically tested 

and approved and can be used for simple self-treatment. The 

pain-relieving or pain-suppressing effect is achieved by inhibiting 

the transference of pain to nerve fibres (caused mainly by high-

frequency impulses) and by increasing the secretion of endorphins 

in the body. Their effect on the central nervous system reduces the 

sensation of pain. The method is scientifically 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 regime.
TENS is clinically tested and approved to treat the following 

complaints:

•  Back pain, particularly in the lumbar/cervical spine area

•  Sore joints (e.g. knee, hip and shoulder joints)

• Neuralgia 

•  Menstrual cramps in women

•  Pain resulting from injury to the musculoskeletal system  

•  Pain caused by circulatory disorders

•  Chronic pain with various causes.

Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS)

 is a widespread and 

generally recognised method and has been used in sports medicine 

and rehabilitation for years. In sports and fitness, EMS is used 

to complement conventional muscle training, to increase the 

performance of muscle groups and to adjust physical proportions to 

achieve the desired aesthetic results. There are two different types 

of EMS application: one is for targeted strengthening of the muscles 

(activating application), and the other is to achieve a relaxing, restful 

effect (relaxing application).
The activating application involves:

•  Muscle training to increase endurance and/or

•  Muscle training to support the strengthening of specific muscles 

or muscle groups, and to achieve the desired changes to physical 

proportions 

The relaxing application involves:

•  Muscle relaxation for easing muscle tension

•  Improving symptoms of muscular fatigue

•  Acceleration of muscle regeneration after high muscle 

performance (e.g. after a marathon) 

Thanks to 

integrated massage technology

, digital EMS/TENS 

units are also able to relieve muscle tension and combat fatigue with 

a program based on the sensation and effects of a real massage. 
The positioning suggestions and program tables in these 

instructions for use allow you to quickly and simply determine the 

corresponding application (depending on the affected area of the 

body) and set the unit to achieve the desired effects. 
Thanks to the two separately adjustable channels, the digital EMS/

TENS unit offers you the advantage of being able to set the intensity 

of the impulses 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, which saves you time.

2.  Important notes

The device is not a substitute for medical consultation and 

treatment. Consult your doctor first if you are experiencing any 

pain or are suffering from an illness. 

WARNING! 

To avoid damage to health, we strongly advise against using the 

digital EMS/TENS unit in the following situations:

•  With implanted electrical devices (such as a 

pacemaker)

•  In the case of metal implants
