Be sure to seek proper medical advice before undertaking this, or any type, of exercise program. Do not apply electrodes directly over bony prominences. Warningsĭo not use this technology if you have a cardiac pacemaker or an automated internal heart defibrillator. Use the technology within safe limits and begin gradually. TENS-supplemented muscle toning should still follow the basic rules of muscle building, resting and healing. Different muscles can still be worked even when the person is not actively exercising.
#TINGE UNIT PHYSICAL THERAPY PLUS#
This can be a plus when there is an injury that prevents a physical workout. In many instances, the use of electrical stimulation can work a muscle group solely on its own with no human input. Keeping an accurate log of strength of electrical impulses and results of each individual workout session can give objective data as to performance enhancement of the muscles.Īs with any exercise program, with or without electrical stimulation, it is important to allow the muscles adequate rest intervals.
As the stimulator causes contractions, it can enhance the person's ability to use heavier weight and/or increased number of repetitions. Keep an accurate log of the muscles' ability to perform before the use of the TENS unit, such as maximum weight that could be lifted and maximum number of repetitions.
