Important information
If you have a Pacemaker or Heart Disease or Epilepsy DO NOT use TeNS unless under medical supervision.
If in any doubt about using TeNS, then ask your pharmacist or doctor for advice.
Tens is an abbreviation for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation which dates back as far as 2500BC in Egypt where they used electric eels to treat pain
Today TENS is a therapeutic, drug free, safe and highly practical pain relief system that is effective on both acute and chronic pain.
TENS is used to reduce the symptoms of pain and not treat the cause of pains
TENS works by stimulating the bodies own natural defences against pain by the unit transmitting a gentle stimulus through the skin. The stimulus causes the release of endorphins.
TENS is particularly relevant to long term suffers of chronic pain conditions such as back pain, arthritis, joint pain and other muscular pain.

How Does T.E.N.S work?
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulators (T.E.N.S) generate electrical impulses that are sent through the electrodes which can be strategically placed over nerve centres. Pain signals to the brain are blocked by the T.E.N.S. interrupting the brains awareness of pain. Stimulation of the nerve centres may activate endorphins which are used by the body to suppress pain naturally. This T.E.N.S therapy can relieve chronic or acute pain such as back pain, sciatica, sports strains & sprains, muscle injuries and aching joints.
Dual Channel T.E.N.S
The Home Masseur is a dual channel TENS device and should not be mistaken for a single channel device. With a dual channel device you can use 4 electrodes simultaneously, instead of just 2 electrodes as with the single channel devices. This enables you to give pain relief to a much wider area of the body and is ideal for use on the back, shoulders, arms and legs. This device also comes with a pot of specialist massage cream that is specifically designed to aid the effectiveness of the TENS treatment.
Massage Modes
There are three massage modes which are rubbing, tapping and kneading, these modes are sometimes referred to as burst, normal and modulation. The 3 massage modes can be experienced as part of the automatic programs, or can be controlled manually by selecting the mode and then adjusting the strength as desired.
Automatic Programs
The four automatic programs use a combination of the 3 modes, (rubbing, tapping & kneading), at varying strengths, and are designed to target specific areas of your body: Shoulders, Waist/Back, Joints, Hands/Feet.

Baxolve by Slendertone BAXOLVE, from Slendertone, is an innovative means of controlling back pain using two clinically proven therapies, TENS and Lumbar Support, in one integrated belt.
BAXOLVE TENS and Lumbar Support can be used together for maximum pain relief or separately, as the situation requires.
BAXOLVE has passed the rigorous testing of the FDA (American Food and Drug Administration) and is CE marked indicating its approval under the European Medical Device Directive.
TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) is a clinically proven, drug-free method of pain relief.It is extremely safe and has been widely used in the medical community for over 30 years, particularly for Labour Pain. TENS works by sending firm, comfortable electrical pulses delivered to the skin via adhesive pads.
BAXOLVE combines both forms of TENS pain relief (Pain Gate Control and Endorphin Release) administered via 4 adhesive pads and controlled from a hand-held unit. You can choose the program and intensity level, which best suits you, giving you power and control over your pain.
What is Pain Gate Control?
BAXOLVE TENS works by gently stimulating your sensory nerves to suppress the pain signal to the brain by providing a comfortable 'tingling' sensation. This sensation masks the pain, offering immediate pain relief. The pain relief usually lasts for as long as the stimulation continues to be delivered, with a small carry-over effect. This type of pain relief is most appropriate for sharp, severe acute pain. baxolve Programmes 1 and 2 use Pain Gate Control to alleviate pain.
What is Endorphin Release?
Endorphins are the body's own natural pain relieving hormones, and are released from the pituitary gland in the brain when the human body experiences certain types of pain. The BAXOLVE Endorphin Release programmes encourage the release of endorphins through a firm, comfortable 'Tapping' sensation.
Stimulation is normally needed for at least 20-40 minutes before endorphins are released. Endorphins tend to remain circulating in the body system for several minutes to several hours after treatment has ceased, offering residual pain relief. This type of pain relief is most appropriate for dull, aching chronic back pain.
About Lumbar Support
Lumbar support can be used to ease lower back pain and also to help prevent the onset of lower back pain. The BAXOLVE belt works by providing support to the spinal and abdominal muscles. Lumbar support when applied firmly and comfortably, should assist lower back pain through the inter-related mechanisms of:
Restricting painful movement
Improving positional awareness and posture
Providing warmth to the affected area which stimulates local circulation generating a feeling of well-being.
BAXOLVE has 4 easy to use programmes that offer relief from both acute and chronic back pain through Pain Gate Control and Endorphin Release.
