EMS & TENS Devices

TENS and EMS are different technologies that share a device shape. TENS sends a low current through the skin to interrupt pain signals; EMS contracts the muscle itself. Most units sold today do both, and the mode you select determines which job it is doing.

This collection holds 27 stimulators, belts and replacement pad sets.

Frequently asked questions

Who should not use a TENS or EMS unit?

Do not use one if you have a pacemaker or any implanted electrical device, if you are pregnant, if you have epilepsy or a heart condition, or over broken skin. Never place pads on the front of the neck, across the chest, on the head, or over the eyes. Check with a clinician if you are unsure.

How often should electrode pads be replaced?

Most pads last 20–30 applications. Replace them once they stop sticking evenly — poor contact concentrates the current and causes stinging.

Does EMS build muscle on its own?

No. It produces a contraction, which is useful for activation and comfort, but it does not replace loaded training for building strength or size. Devices marketed as a substitute for exercise are overselling.
