I was wondering if anyone has tried or owns an EMS or TENS device? I know physical therapists use them routinely to treat tendonitis. I recall reading some literature when I was in PT well over a year ago that said PTs thought these devices were very effective in treating tendonitis. I don't find PT helpful at all with my swimmer's shoulder, although I have an adapted PT/RC home care program. (ART works better for me personally. Just my own experience.) But I was wondering if anyone had had any success with one of these devices on their own at home? I have heard a swim coach poo poo them as providing only temporary relief. But that same sentiment could apply to ice as well ... Thoughts?
I guess I may have to put some of these acronyms on the terminology thread .... ;)
Hmm ..... I thought you were of the belief that that certain things could be permanently eradicated?
Maybe I'm in a "life = suffering" funk....nothing a few rapidly applied, medical grade, electro-pulses couldn't snap me out of.
Aw, I hope things improve. I'd give you a hug, but don't want to accused of flirting. Not SR, I hope. Maybe a few zaps for the hamstring and some yoga? Neti pot?
I think I was in one of those funks last week from lack of exercise. Now, my endorphins are better adjusted. Although this aerobic lite stuff I'm doing is not enough exercise. I'm going to have to spin and run more to get a real workout and burn calories.
