TENS/EMS electrical stimulation

The principle behind the PT 2000 is based on Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) and Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS). Superficial and deep tissue electrical stimulation can lead to relaxation, pain control/analgesia. These effects can

• speed up the healing of fractures and wounds,
• especially post-operatively and also
• help to build muscle strength through selective contraction.

More medical benefits

Depending on the stimulation pattern chosen this form of physiotherapy provides

• Long lasting muscle relaxation
• Contraction of single muscles or muscle groups
• Nerve stimulation
• Improved tissue circulation
• pain control through
• Release of encephalines and endorphines (analgesia) (according to the "Gate-Control-Theory") (Flecknell and Waterman-Pearson: Pain Management in Animals, Saunders, 2000)
