TENS is a clinically proven technology widely used by physiotherapists and pain specialists. It helps to block the pain message, trigger the release of endorphins and improve blood circulation.
Product benefits
Block pain message
The electrical pulses move through the skin to nearby nerves, blocking out the pain message from reaching your brain.
Release endorphins
The electrical pulses stimulates an increase in the production of your body’s natural pain killer – endorphins.
Improve blood circulation
The electrical pulses cause your muscles to contract and relax. This repeated contracting and relaxing, improves your blood circulation.

The unit will continue automatically for 15 minutes before it shuts off. We recommend a total of 2 x 15 minutes therapy in one sitting, up to 3 times/day.
- In case of experiencing an adverse reaction (skin irritation/redness/burns, headache or painful sensation, or if you feel any discomfort).
- If pain gets worse or no relief of pain is felt after more than 5 days.
Electrical signals are sent via ‘electrode pads’ to specific points on the body. This causes the muscles to react. As a result, two things happen:
1. Muscle pumping action:
By applying low-frequency electrical waves to a body area with stiffness/tiredness, muscles contract and extend (relax)
Muscle contracts: blood containing ‘waste’ is flushed out
Muscle relaxes: fresh blood rushes in
By this repeated ‘muscle pumping’ process, blood flow is improve
> Shoulder stiffness, tired legs and cramps are relieved.
2. Shutting out pain signals:
By applying low-frequency signals to the painful area, the nerves near this area are stimulated, which affects the pain-transmission mechanism (‘inhibits’ pain messages) towards spinal cord. These have relatively short effect. Frequencies: 2 ~ 100Hz.
Electrical waves also stimulate the human body to produce natural Morphine-like substances (endorphins). These have a much longer effect (5 ~ 12 hrs).
Frequencies: 100 ~ 1200 Hz.
>As a result, the sense of pain is relieved.
The Electrode Pads, including the ‘ePlus LongLife Pads’ do require periodic replacement. However, it is often possible to extend the life of the pads by simply rinsing them under a cold water faucet (no soap is required), shaking off the excess moisture, return the pads to the clear plastic cover sheet or the plastic holder (ePlus LongLife Pads only), and then place the pads in the refrigerator overnight (not the freezer). This should restore the adhesion of the pads. If it does not, the pads are worn and should be replaced. Contact your nearest OMRON retailer to obtain these.
