Top 10 Reasons to Get an EMS or TENS Unit
Most of us are more cautious about our health today than we were 20 years ago. Today, we have better general knowledge about how to stay healthy along with access to better technology. With newer and better EMS TENS units available right now, you’d be surprised how much value is packed in these devices.
These are the top 10 reasons why you should consider getting your own personal EMS or TENS unit today.
1. Reduce muscle soreness
EMS TENS units are effective at reducing muscle soreness. For maximum effectiveness and comfort, look for EMS TENS units that use interferential therapy and medium-frequency.
2. Pain relief
EMS and TENS units are effective pain relievers for different types of pain. Not sure if your pain is caused by nerves, muscles, or both? You can get an EMS TENS unit to use both features in a single device. EMS and TENS units aren’t exactly the same though, so check out this post to learn more about their differences and what they are good for: EMS vs
3. Improve blood circulation
EMS TENS units can be used to stimulate stiff parts of your body to increase blood and nutrients flow. The more advanced units use deep stimulation that improves your metabolism and provides a massage-like sensation.
4. Enhance workout
It doesn’t matter if you workout 5 times a week or once a week, an EMS unit will make your existing training more efficient. An EMS unit stimulates your muscles to make them contract, which intensifies your standard workout routine. Being able to build muscle strength and
speed quickly is why EMS workouts are becoming more and more popular.
5. Faster recovery
You can stimulate your muscles after a workout in order to relax and soothe the deep muscle tissue. Deep muscle stimulation helps remove lactic acid, a substance believed to cause muscle soreness. As a result of using electrotherapy you can then reduce the time needed to recover after a high intensity workout and avoid muscle cramps, stiffness and long-term wear.
6. Get better sleep
It's common place to have over 8 hours of sleep and still feel tired when you wake up. Sleeping well is just as important as getting enough sleep. You will feel much more energetic after a good nights sleep without any kind of distraction, such as muscle soreness. Some EMS TENS units even have auto timers that turns itself off after a while, so you don’t have worry about falling asleep while using them.
7. Always ready for instant satisfaction
You can get sore muscles from some of the most mundane things you do in life, like standing up for too long or carrying everyday objects. Being able to get instant relief right when your discomfort is at its peak is what makes having these EMS TENS units so great.
8. Massage-like sensation
Most people love to get proper and professional massages. The best thing about EMS TENS unit massage is that you don’t need to worry about massage strength. This one is tricky because not all EMS TENS units offer massage-like stimulation. But with more advanced EMS TENS units like the U-GYM Pro, you can adjust massage pressure and pattern just the way you like it. Besides, who knows where your sore spots are better than yourself?
9. Convenience
Most EMS TENS units today are portable, meaning you can take it with you anywhere you go. Some of the smaller devices are small enough to fit in your pocket and can even be used underneath your clothes without anyone noticing. You’ll be able to relax your muscles and sore spots whenever and wherever you are.
10. Affordable
With so much competition on the market today, EMS TENS units are fairly cheap in price nowadays. Some devices sell for only $30 or $40. That’s even cheaper than getting a single massage session. However we don’t recommend getting these cheap units because you
shouldn’t sacrifice quality and performance on something that works directly on your body. Although the better EMS TENS units cost more, they are usually well worth their asking price, especially as you’ll be saving a lot of time and money visiting a doctor for electrotherapy.
Not every EMS or TENS unit is created equal
Naturally, you would want a delicate electronic device that works on your body to be of very high quality. While you don’t always get better quality by paying more money, you certainly won’t get the good stuff by buying the cheaper available devices. When choosing an EMS TENS unit, look for key features that fulfil your needs. For example:
- If you want to enhance your workout in a gym, get a professional grade EMS device that is highly portable.
- If you want to enhance your workout AND avoid sore back and neck problems, get an EMS TENS combination unit that uses interferential therapy and medium-frequency to get massage-like stimulation with maximum effectiveness and comfort.
