21 Preset Muscle Stimulator by NATURES GATE TENS - The IntelliSTIM BE-28E has 21 Presets with 4 Customizable Presets - Top of the Range! The Most Effective and Affordable Muscle Stim on the Market

I bought one for my nephew who had a back trauma 3 months ago. MRI scan showed no bone or disc injury that could be operated on. Unfortunately he has been left with constant severe lower back muscle spasms causing great pain and with minimal relief from strong pain killers plus diazepam. He is waiting for an epidural & facet joints injections.He has found this very easy to use. You just switch on, select which program you want and gradually turn up the intensity on each of the 2 channels using the arrow buttons. The timer switches it off at the end.It has helped ease the muscle spasm and he has managed to stop the diazepam. Other strong medications are still being used but this is the only thing that helps without any side effects.The customer care has been excellent. Fast delivery and even a follow up phone call to check how it was working and to offer tips on maximising the EMS sessions. He also took up the offer of buying more of the stick on electrode patches which this machine needs from time to time - there was NO hard sell and he felt the caller was looking after his personal needs working out and providing the best size elecrode pad for his use, rather than just trying to sell products. (I checked prices and he was given a very good deal on the electrode patches). Buy from here and you are getting service from a caring and a motivated company.It offers him a form of therapy he can manage for himself and gives him a sense of taking control of the pain (and without the drowsiness caused by diazepam.)Put simply: Ease of use 5/5, Effectiveness for muscle spasm 5/5, customer care 5/5

This was quite an expensive purchase and I read lots of information before buying. I hoped it would help to stimulate the leg muscles around my knees which have atrophied due to lack of exercise because of mobility problems. Despite it being an expensive piece of kit, the 'user manual' was totally inadequate for the lay person - you are advised to seek the help of a physiotherapist who is trained in using NMS so they can show you how to use the device properly. Frankly, if I could afford to consult a physiotherapist why would I need to buy one of these machines? And forget trying to source this on the NHS. So, whilst it might be brilliant if you know how to use it properly and effectively, unless you have a degree in electronics you will never be able to decipher the ridiculous 'user manual'. Waste of money.

This is a good product and the battery lasts a long time. I only gave it four stars because it can also be used for pain relief - somehow, the manual doesn't say how. The presets are easy to use and you can adjust the parameters while using them. Nobody really wants to program this device because doing so seems kind of difficult. I also think that the case you get with it could have been made slightly bigger.

Very good product. Good value for money. As usual amazon very helpful if there is a problem and replaces the product during the guarantee. The company is very helpful and finds a solution if the product if faulty. Good customer care from amazon and nutres gate. Really happy and recommend this product to anyone.

For my stroke helps my.arm

My partner, 36 , suffered a stroke at Christmas, the NHS Physio introduced this machine to us to assist with rehab.After a week we decided to buy our own, it is easy to use, simple instructions, but did help having some prior instruction, we have seen excellent results, the pads are long lasting with stickiness, but it does help shaving hairy arms !The scale of adjustment is also good to measure progress.Only slight minus point is the screen is quite small for the information and may prove harder to follow for people with weaker eyesightI would thoroughly recommend this for anyone in the same situation as us, it has definitely made a big impact on rehab

Unable to comment if stimulator works as instructions far too complicated so product was returned.

After searching various websites and reading many, many product descriptions/reviews. I had to buy this product and I have not been disappointed.I've been a long term sufferer with hamstring problems and this for me was perfect.Not only have i used it for rehab, but it also gets used prior to and post football training and matches. The programs are very easy to use and with all ranges being pre-set it makes it even easier.Set it on the program you need, relax and let it do the work.It can be used for almost anything and I personally have been very impressed with it.My advice to anyone suffering with muscle pains, recurrent muscle injuries or anyone that loves to keep fit and stay healthy would be to buy this. Mixed in with my training and rehab program this product has been brilliant!!!!
