The device features two functions that include transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and electrical muscle stimulation (EMS). TENS helps block pain signals from the brain to provide pain relief while EMS stimulates muscles for conditions, strengthening and recovery using gentle electrical impulses. It has two rechargeable receivers that connect to electrode pads to allow for it to work wirelessly. The device has 14 preset therapy mode for personalized treatment and additional receivers can be added on for treating bigger areas.
