EMS/TENS devices: Do they work?

The Fortress
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 .... ;)

  • Exactly. We just need daisies. I think you should go ahead and get that full bodyskin too in case you decide to enter some of those fly events. FAF Sistas can't just do breaststroke. :thhbbb: Breaststrokers appear to be very high maintenance. Disrupting threads, zinging away. I would never do that. :cool: This FAF is thinking about both Butter and ***. I don't think I will be able to qualify as I don't see any meets in the near future where I can get my times. So I am limited to three events. But for me to even think about doing Butter in an actual meet, voluntarily, is progress. :rofl: :rofl: Sorry FAF, I just can't leave out the most noble of strokes :applaud:.
