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 .... ;)
Yah $250 on a medical device all the family can get dressed up in their prayer robes and use vs. the $250 you'd spend of a pair of Jimmy Chu's and complimenting bag...for one night...
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
FAF Sista's are NOT High Maintenance:thhbbb: . I bet Fort won't order the Ultra-Sound without letting Mr. Fort know she is going to do it (not asking him, just letting him know). Actually I think Mr. Swim4me did tell me and I blocked it out until this thread reminded me again :shakeshead: . Now I won't feel bad when I order my Fastskin for Nationals in August :agree: .
