21 Preset Muscle Stimulator with Extra Electrodes by NATURES GATE TENS - IntelliSTIM BE-28E - 21 Presets with 4 Customizable Presets - Top of the Range!

Excellent muscle, pain and therapy stimulator.I bought this because I had pulled a calf muscle and needed to keep it pulsing steadily to improve recovery. I had prolonged deep pain that wasn't moving and made exercise more painful, yet stretching and use were the only route to recoveryIt was ideal and it worked well.Since this time it has been used by various members of the family to prevent injuries on tight muscles and to reduce pain in numerous applications.It has endless settings, some for deep pulses, some for shallow muscle groups, some that create long pulses and some that are mush shorter.17 pre-programmed patterns, with specific and mixed pulse patterns. Recovery and therapy options, with exercise and stimulation variations.In practical terms it's easy to find a pattern that meets every requirement and then to try various power levels until an ideal setting is achieved.It runs on 2 sets of pads with the same programme running through both, but each set having independent power adjustment.I opted to pay a bit more for a better bit of kit. I certainly feel it was worth the expense and it fixed my pain at the time (eventually).Fraser.

Review would have been better if I could have used it. I have a slight heart murmur and didn't realise I couldn't use it for this reason

Would be lost without this. Am now on operation number 5 on the same leg due to numerous balls up! This got me walking after the 2nd operation. Due to the fix of a new ligament not being right I couldn't work the quads on the medial side, so was loosing the battle to rehab it and get walking. I used presets 7&8 to work the muscle and noticed swelling reduction almost straight away and was able to start coming off my crutches after about a week. It pretty much helped me kick start the physio which we were failing at to begin with. After each op it has pretty much been the same issue with the VMO and inner quads. It Is part of my daily routine to keep the strength in my leg. You do not see massive difference in bulk or tone, but maybe I am not using the right programs for that. The instructions are geared much more towards people with some degree of medical/physio knowledge so I would suggest using it under a guidance of a physio or similar, as we have adjusted the settings slightly to make it more beneficial. There are pictures to try and help you place the pads but isn't too precise but you will definitely notice the difference when you have got the right motor point (The muscle stimulates at lower intensity on the right point). Overall I would have been lost without this.

I purchased this machine after lots of research and checking on multiple sites and multiple reviews most of which said they were great, great for people who had illnesses and strokes, but I tried it anyway I wanted to see if it would help with my knee pain and muscle support and it does, the machine is great a lot stronger then I thought it would be which is great but with total control from slight muscle stimulation which is great to relax the muscles after a workout or stronger muscle stimulation on the days I didn't train. I used this to help train my Vastus medialis and it worked well to help build the muscle slowly giving my knee more stability. I'm a personal trainer an would recommend to other sports people and my own clients to help train weak areas of muscle. Best results if used whilst doing a specific excercise for me it was leg extensions.

Product is being used to treat piriformis syndrome and it is too soon to give an in depth review, but I have felt the machine providing some relief. Placement of the electrodes is a little tricky but I suspect I will get better with practice, but you can feel the pulse across the muscle. As I workout more regularly the muscle gets tighter and this causes pain emminating form my glute and down my thigh. So far has helped with initial pains but a more accurate review will be provided after a few weeks using the machine. But so far, very pleased.

This Muscle stimulator was recommended to me by my physiotherapist following a knee injury which left me immobile for over a month causing a large amount of muscle wastage.There are a large number of preset programs and an easy to control power level. I've been using preset program 7 twice a day. The results were almost immediate and after just one week of use I was able to tense the muscle myself. It's a brilliant bit of kit.Highly recommend the additional electrodes, I've found one set lasted around three weeks (making sure my skin is clean before I use them), but the efficacy reduces as they age.If you've lost muscle tone following injury, I would highly recommend this as part of your rehabilitation.

I got this because I've had several operations on my right leg and have lost quite a bit of muscle on it so I got this product to help build muscle right after my precious operation and it was too weak to build muscle but it did help stop my muscle from deteriorationing further

I purchased this having suffered over recent months with neck and upper shoulder pain, (largely caused by legacy Rugby injuries, poor posture at my desk and I daresay a bit of stress). On a recent hols, I even ended up suffering from Migraine, (crap mattress compounded the issue). My rushed response was to purchase a similar product offered by a major high street chemist chain!!, and whilst this certainly assisted, it wasn't until I was loaned this product, that I kicked myself for my instinct purchase. This is certainly the product I should have purchased in the first place. Now that I have, regular use has certainly helped to elevate the pain and when combined with Physio I certainly feel like I'm winning the battle.Less Migraine's, but I did notice on the occasion I had one recently, correct pad placement shifted the blurred vision stage pretty quickly.For those pondering, especially those contemplating a purchase via the high street chain, consider that the cost is pretty much the same, but the product certainly isn't.In summary, it worked for me
