At Physioroom our range of Muscle stimulators are designed to improve performance and aid recovery so that intensive bouts of exercise can be done back to back in training. Following an injury, muscle stimulators can also be useful in reintroducing activity to the muscles that may have wasted or weakened due to inactivity.
Muscle Stimulators can aid;
Our Compex range of products provide enhanced recovery by increasing circulation to muscles therefore increasing the supply of oxygen and nutrients, essential in the recovery process. The range is designed with athletes in mind and can greatly enhance the effects of training by providing targeted strengthening to muscles that may be inherently weak or have suffered past injuries.
The Compex products range from the FIT.1 Muscle Stimulator which provides 10 individualised programmes for health and fitness fans to wireless models such as the SP Wireless Muscle Stimulator, which are designed for athletes who exercise three or more times a week and can detect and automatically adjust to individual muscle needs. The Compex wireless models can be used on the go and are useful when travelling to events or using at training venues.
The Muscle Stimulators may look complicated but are all easy to use and operate. Models come complete with a battery that can be charged, electrodes and for models such as the Compex SP Wireless 6.0 Muscle Stimulator a soft travel pouch is included to allow easy and safe transportation.
For maximum effect it is important to maintain a good contact between the electrode and the skin. Over time the self-adhesive will decline and not stick as well to the skin so the muscle stimulation will also reduce. Replacement electrodes are sold in different sizes, depending on the size of the muscle(s) to be treated and can be purchased to maintain the efficiency of the machine.
E-Shorts or Belts are available to target specific areas of the body. These products can be effective in toning the abdominal and gluteal muscles more specifically.
Trancutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) machines offer pain relief and nerve stimulation, by passing an electrical current through the skin to activate nerve endings. The stimulated nerve endings send a signal to the brain, blocking the pain impulses and producing pain relief. TENS machines are particularly effective in management of chronic pain and injuries such as; Acute and Chronic muscular and joint pain, Neck and lower back pain, Period and labour pain, Arthritis, Sciatica and Nausea.
TENS machines work by mimicking the body’s central nervous system by transmitting electrical signals to specific muscles, which then contract. This function can support medical rehabilitation and provide effective pain relief. When nerve impulses are impaired due to injury, TENS stimulation can be a highly effective method of re-activating movement patterns.
Along with Pain relief TENS machines can also aid:
Depending on your needs and level of pain or discomfort Physioroom offer a range of TENS machines. The Direct TENS product is an easy to use model with 2 channels and 13 nerve stimulation programmes to aid in the treatment of acute and chronic pain. The Cefar Elite Neuro Muscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) option offers more advanced features including; 21 pre-set NMES programs, plus 6 pre-set TENS programs and 3 custom slots for the creation of personalised treatment programs. With the press of a button, you can find the level of stimulation that is strong enough to ensure effective pain relief for individual needs.
What are Muscle Stimulators?
Electrical Muscle Stimulators use intelligent electro pulse technology to work the body during both exercise and rest. Made with athletes in mind, muscle stimulators are designed to increase the challenge of a training program, prevent injuries, quicken recovery from injury, provide pain management and more. Easy to use and compact, these personal fitness machines can be taken with you whenever you exercise.
What are TENS machines?
TENS machines are pain relief devices that are used by physiotherapists and specialist pain clinics in the treatment of conditions that cause back pain, neck pain, ankle pain, knee pain, shoulder pain, elbow pain, wrist pain and hand pain. TENS stands for 'transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation', a form of direct current that is passed through the skin using adhesive electrodes.
How do Muscle Stimulators work?
Muscle stimulators charge your body with electrical impulses to activate and engage more of your muscles than you would when usually completing your workout, even those that you don't usually feel or control! On top of these more 'hidden' muscles, muscle stimulators ensure that all your major muscle groups are thoroughly exercised. When combined with your regular exercise, muscle stimulators are a simple way to complete an extra intense workout in a shorter time period within a safe level.

Muscle Stimulators are a great device for recovering from injury, pain relief and fitness development. These products are a useful tool for athletes of all levels and are perfect for targeting all muscle groups easily and safely.
How do TENS machines work?
The TENS current stimulates nerve endings that pass an impulse to the brain, which acts as a counter stimulation to the original pain signals and results in pain relief. The portable TENS unit can clip onto your trousers and thin wires connect from the unit to the adhesive electrodes that stick onto the skin around the area of pain. TENS machines can be portable and can be used at home, at work or when travelling.
What are TENS Machines used for?
TENS treatment has been scientifically proven to reduce pain intensity and is a safe, cost effective and drug free alternative for the treatment of pain. TENS is an effective form of pain relief for Arthritis, Back Pain, Bursitis, Period Pain, Labour pain, Neck Pain, Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI), Sciatica, Tendonitis and Whiplash.
