How do T.E.N.S units compare to Rhythm Touch Q?
T.E.N.S. (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulators) generally work to block pain by sending “high frequency” continuous electrical pulses through the skin. This effectively blocks the pain signal to the brain from that area of the body. Rhythm Touch Q electrical muscle stimulators use “Low frequency” mild electrical pulses through the skin using the same type of electrodes, but rather than blocking the pain signals to the brain the low frequency signals cause the body to release beta endorphins… the body’s own natural pain reliever!
