About BW MyTENS
My Tens is a medical device designed for alleviating adults with acute post surgical pain or low to moderate chronic pain. It works on the principle of transcutaneous electrical neurostimulation (TENS), which enables you to relieve pain and soothe muscle tension. This device also helps to promote venous return and to strengthen the muscle mass. The device has been specially designed to be used at home. Transcutaneous electrical neurostimulation (TENS) is a non-analgesic drug therapy and without secondary effects, used by doctors and physical therapists for more than 30 years. The electrodes are placed on different areas of the body and transmit a low electrical current to the nerves.
This stimulation brings the body to produce and disseminate endogenous analgesicpainkilling substances (endorphins, enkephaline) whose function is to anesthetize the pain. In case of pain or muscle tension, mini-electrical impulses in the nervous tissue may block the transmission of pain signals to the nervous system and trigger the release of endorphins.
You can choose your programme among 11 preset TENS protocols on the MyTens application. For the strengthening of your muscle mass, you can select a programme among 8 protocols of electrical muscle stimulation (EMS).
MyTens sends, via the electrodes placed on the area to stimulate, electrical pulses causing a muscle contraction which strengthens the muscle. It is controlled from the MyTens application. A diagram of the human body with treatment zones helps you to position the electrodes correctly.
