Relief
Attach the reusable electrode pads to your upper and lower back.
TENS sends small pulses through the electrodes which feel like small vibrations.
Click the boost button during each contraction for a flood of extra sensation that cancels pain.
The pulses interrupt the pain signals travelling to your brain, bringing instant relief.
How does the TENS Machine work? The TENS machines works for four reasons, which are:
01
• By Overloading Your Nervous System The pulse from the TENS
machine overloads your nervous system. Our brain can only focus on so much at a time, and once it's at capacity, the rest of the pain signals will be blocked, and you'll feel less pain. This is a part of 'The Gate Control Theory of Pain'.
02
• By Boosting Your Endorphins The TENS machine can also release natural endorphins in your body, which can help to relax you and relieve your pain. Endorphins are our body's natural pain relievers, which act on opiate receptors to alleviate pain and promote feelings of pleasure.

• By Providing A Distraction
• Buy Giving You Control
Your mindset is often one of your most undervalued tools, and the TENS machine can help. The electrical stimulation from the TENS machine is something you can focus on to shift your focus away from the pain.
Also with the power of your mind, feeling in control can do wonders for labour. Most people say the TENS machine gave them a sense of control in a moment when they felt out of control; the power of that is significant in labour.
