Muscle injury, however, can be caused by a sudden stress on muscles that are not warmed up - similar to what happens during sports. If there are unusually strong muscle tensions or long lasting muscle pain, it is recommended to seek medical advice. It is important to find out the reason and the type of tension or injury, before starting treatment.
In many cases, a combination of TENS and EMS is helpful. TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) helps to reduce the pain and to increase the blood flow of the muscle. EMS (Electronic Muscle Stimulation) is a method for building up and exercising the muscle.
Promed digi tens 3000 is a good device for treating muscle tension, since it features a burst modus: a combination of high frequency and low frequency TENS. Also useful is the Promed EMT-4 that combines pain treatment and muscle stimulation.
When it comes to treatment of muscle tension, it is recommended to use long electrodes and to place them in the area where you feel the pain, but not in the pain center. TENS devices are not only for athletes to use, they can also be used for home treatment when it comes to muscle tensions due to wrong posture or to build up muscles in a soft way.
Muscle Tension, Muscle InjuryWe can quite often notice muscle tension during the day - every time the body reacts to a lack of exercise or wrong posture.
