TENS Therapy

Rediscover Ease and Freedom: Empower Your Body with Physio TENS Therapy

What is TENS Therapy?

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is a treatment designed to address a range of pain conditions. Including back pain, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia and tendinitis.

TENS involves the use of low-voltage electrical currents through electrodes strategically placed on the skin. It stands out as a viable alternative to more invasive treatments like surgery or reliance on medication. It is a non-invasive, non-surgical, and risk-free solution for chronic pain, acute injuries, and other pain in general.

How does TENS Therapy work?

TENS Therapy induces low-voltage electrical currents that transfer energy to your affected cells, triggering the body's natural pain relief mechanisms. This targeted approach is particularly effective for managing pain associated with various conditions, providing relief and improving overall well-being.

During your TENS treatment, gentle electrical impulses will be directed towards the specific area of concern. The experience is incredibly relaxing and pain-free, allowing you to lie down and unwind while benefiting from this advanced pain relief technique.
