## Description

Product Description INTRODUCTION TO THE SPORTS TENS 2The Sports TENS 2 is a multi-purpose combination unit that offers the latest in electro muscle stimulation and TENS. It has three basic functions, which can be used in combination: 1. Stimulation of sensory nerves for Pain Relief (TENS). 2. Stimulation of motor nerves and muscle tissue (EMS) to build and alter muscle function3. A massage effect. To achieve this, the device has two independent stimulation channels and four self adhesive electrodes. It offers a choice from a large number of settings designed to increase general wellbeing, alleviate pain, maintain physical fitness, aid relaxation, revitalize muscles and combat fatigue. You can either select these settings from pre-set programmes or determine them yourself according to your requirements. PowerfulSports TENS is a powerful fitness and performance muscle stimulator for body toning, shaping, beauty and relaxation. It has TENS settings to relieve pain due to injury and over-training. Gentle massage is provided for relaxation and de-stressing. Multiple FunctionsSports TENS is flexible enough to help with all stages of training and recovery. It has 27 EMS programmes, 10 TENS programmes, 10 massage programmes and 8 user defined programmes enabling you to experiment and save your favourite settings - unrivalled performance for a product of this size and price.

TENS stimulates your body's own natural defences against pain. It is totally safe, and has been used successfully by thousands of pain sufferers.TENS sends a gentle stimulation through the skin which works in TWO ways:- Pain GateStimulating the sensory nerves, which carry touch and temperature signals. These nerves go to the same connections in the spine as the nerves carrying pain. A strong sensory signal will block the pain signal travelling up the spine to the brain. This is known as closing the "Pain Gate" and takes effect quite quickly after the unit is switched on. You can use TENS several times a day, for as long as you like. Endorphin ReleaseAt low frequency settings, and slightly stronger output, TENS drives the motor nerves to produce a small repetitive muscle contraction. This is seen by the brain as exercise, and this promotes release of Endorphins - your body's own natural pain killer. The relief builds up and normally takes about 40 minutes to reach a maximum level which can last for hours after the machine is switched off. By using TENS you can expect to achieve a significant reduction in pain.Side EffectsThere are no known side effects to TENS use and long-term TENS use is not harmful.Positioning the electrodes for TENSThe TENS effect is confined to the nerves entering a single vertebra in the spine. To be effective, you therefore need to stimulate a sensory nerve entering the spine at the same level as the nerve carrying the pain. For this reason electrodes are usually first placed where the greatest pain is felt. Nerves follow the curve of the ribs, and spiral around the limbs, so you will need to try different positions until you find the best for you. Try moving the electrodes short distances to establish the positions that are most effective for you.TENS is clinically tested and approved for many applications including: Back pain, and lumbar and cervical spine problems Joint pain (e.g. knee joint, hip joint, shoulder)Neuralgia Headaches Women's period painsPain after injuries to musculoskeletal system Pain with circulatory problems Chronic pain through various causesE.M.S.: WHAT IT IS AND HOW IT WORKS EMS stands for Electrical Muscle Stimulation and is a widespread and generally recognized method that has been used for years in sports and rehabilitation medicine. In the sports and fitness field, one of the uses of EMS is as a supplement to conventional muscle training, in order to increase the efficiency of muscle groups and adapt physical proportions to the desired aesthetic results.EMS has two main applications. Firstly, a targeted strengthening of musculature can be produced (Activating application) and secondly a relaxing, resting effect can also be achieved (Relaxing application).EMS successfully rebuilds and tones muscles.Different levels of muscle contraction are achieved by sending electrical impulses of various types, depending on the programme selected, into the body. These muscle contractions retrain the muscles, increase their effectiveness and improve their condition. This is beneficial where muscles - for whatever reason - have not been in regular use and have lost condition (muscle atrophy). For sports, the benefit is to increase the effect of training and enhance performance. Typical uses are: - Muscle training to improve endurance performance Muscle training to support the strengthening of certain muscles or muscle groups in order to achieve desired changes to body proportions. Sports training, covering - warm-up, strength, speed, power, resistance, endurance and recovery Rehabilitation in relation to sports injury.The effect on muscle tone of electrical stimulation (EMS) is generally only noticeable after regularly repeated application. Electrical stimulation does not replace regular exercising of the muscle, but is able to reasonably supplement it.Muscle wastage: EMS is used in the treatment of medical conditions involving muscle wastage including: Neuromuscular facilitation - Muscle reeducation - Muscle training - Prevention/slowing of atrophy/hypotrophy - Preventing postoperative muscle weakness - Reduction of spasticity - Maintaining or increasing range of motion - Training of partial peripheral nerve damage with signs of reinnervation - Treatment of scoliosis.Relaxing applications includes the following: Muscle relaxation in order to loosen up muscular tension Improving muscular fatigue symptoms Accelerating muscle regeneration after high muscular performance (e.g. after a marathon). Through integrated massage technology, the Sports TENS Digital TENS/EMS also offers the possibility of reducing muscular tension and combating fatigue symptoms using a programme based on manual massage in terms of sensation and effect.Note: Read the manual fully. For lead wires, the base can be twisted, to lock it in the device Directions Use the device with comfortable strength control to steadily increase the level of intensity to suit your needs. The backlit LCD screen ensures clearer visibility. Refer to the instruction manual for detailed usage. Safety Warning Do not use near water or in a humid environment. Keep out of reach of children.

Review: Super little TENS & EMS unit - Before this I had a very expensive Compex EMS. It was built like a brick but the screen started to fail about a day after the warranty ran out, then the battery failed so it was time for a new unit. I wasn't willing to part with the serious wad a Compex costs so I decided to give this a go at least than a tenth of the price. I'm absolutely blown away with it! It's actually a far better TENS unit than the Compex was. It's much smaller and lighter so you can clip it to your belt or truck it in a pocket while still running a program. There's a lot of TENS and massage programs to experiment with so I'm sure there's something to suit most people and applications. There's a good selection of EMS programs for sports training or rehabilitation, here the Compex does have more to go at, but not really anything that most would ever use. Battery is excellent, a charge seems to last forever! I certainly have no problems recommending this unit.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Kit
*by A***G on 28 October 2025*

Great piece of kit, really helped with rehab from injuries

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic and EASY to use! Unnecessarily bulky charger.
*by E***L on 11 February 2014*

When I purchased the Sports TENS 2 the reviews were limited and misleading regarding usability, so I felt it necessary to leave my own. Most importantly, reviewers had stated that the manual was overly confusing and the product therefore was not easy to use. This is my 3rd TENS unit and I could not find it easier to use. I purchased a Sanitas unit last year and EVERY single time I used it I had to refer back to the manual and follow the list of instructions: *that* was confusing, but not this. Sure, my manual was weirdly stapled together part upside down and back to front, but all I needed was PAGE 10. Simply hold power button down for a couple seconds to switch on (same to turn off), Choose EMS I, II or II, MASS(age), or TENS. Choose a mode (the TENS function has 12 to choose from, which I use), then simply press each of the two channels up and down to the desired level. You can also select the time. For my use I stick with Continuous time and turn it off when I want, but the timer was handy for using over night. The next time you use it all the settings will be the same as those last used. So once you've found your preferred mode to target your pain all you need do is turn it on and press the channels up/down. The unit automatically locks itself after 10 seconds which is a great feature and to unlock again press one of the channel down buttons and then make adjustments. This is a very convenient and great safety feature. I purchased this primarily for pain, but wanted to be able to use the massage and EMS functions, as well as make manual adjustments. I haven't had time to try these features yet and will update this review when I do. The manual does however have fairly comprehensive images of musculature and tens placement for these features. Unlike the cheaper (NHS-recommended) TENS units, the Sports 2 has a very clear LED display so you always know what is on and the specific Hz and Pulse rates that work for you. Pros: Simple to use, LED display, Several set & manual modes for EMS, TENS, & Massage functions. Thin & Lightweight to hide under clothing or clip to pocket/belt to look much like an MP3 player. Rechargeable battery. Simple modes or comprehensive as you choose (detailed manual) Dual channels for 2 body areas or cross-stimulation. Leads connect to unit very securely (preventing pull-out and tugging) Cons: Battery must be removed and charged in provided separate charger (although easy to remove) Case is large/bulky to accommodate the charger & plug, No USB option for travel. If there had been a USB charger that would allow for a small case I would have given the Sports 2 five stars with no hesitation.
