Find Best Price at Amazon"As I lay on the toy strewn floor quivering in battery operated pain one brave child who is forever striving to be my favorite grabbed the evil devil box and in the brave attempt to turn it off, instead turned up the frequency of the attack. The injured and now fear filled mom is a quivering mass of pain and the children are now gleefully trying out the Devils toy on random body parts. I am giving this evil box a five star rating as the original pinched nerve pain is now completely gone."
"However, the instruction booklet is NOT helpful at all, so there are several functions he still doesn’t know how to utilize."
"It used to be that I couldn't bend well at all, could only stand for an hour at most even with taking Aleve and my prescribed muscle relaxer (and in retail that suuucks), and was always in real pain by the end of the day, no matter what, but since using the tens therapy about once every other day, and sometimes more when I'm actively very sore, I've notice significantly less steady pain, I'm more limber, spasms have become few and far between, and there have been days when I've been able to work short shifts (>5hrs) medication free! All in all I would recommend this to anybody curious, who struggles with ongoing muscle pain and weakness or spasms, and will be reordering pads soon (I find I get about a week or so of good uses out of each)."
"No problem - with this TENS unit, I can place the electrodes on the different spots and get relief all at once. I would definitely recommend this unit."
"I immediately bought one for myself and gave it to my Mom for a recent knee injury."
"I bought this for my husband's back pain."
"Good control over intensity level from very low to very high."
"You can see the muscles moving and contracting on all but the lowest settings, and it really feels like someone is kneading your muscles on the knead setting, I was so surprised!"
In many cases, this stimulation will greatly reduce or eliminate the pain sensation you feel. The TENS 7000™ comes complete with the device, two (2) pair of lead wires, one (1) four (4) pack of reusable electrodes, one (1) 9-volt battery, a quick start guide, instruction manual and hard carry case.

"I had experience with a smaller, less powerful unit bought at CVS, but even that was helpful. (EBL 840 9V Battery Charger with 4 Pack 600mAh Li-ion Rechargeable 9 Volt Batteries). UPDATE Aug. 2017: I've used this unit for 4 months and it got me through a really horrible time where I was suffering from knotted shoulders and trapezius with terrible trigger points that were so bad I was unable to sleep on either shoulder for nearly 4 full months. UPDATE Sept. 2017: Well, unfortunately, the unit quit working a few days before I had to travel, so I was forced to buy another one to replace it. My original review was 5 stars, dropped to 3 while I waited for a refund, and am leaving it at 4 stars because the seller did take care of the issue and the new unit seems to be working fine (although I did just get it a month ago)."
"I get treated by my chiropractor every month with a professional TENS unit for Sciatic Nerve pain."
"This tens unit has just the right amount of power behind it, small size and features to make it a must have for those with MS, muscle or nerve pain. The housing isn't as nice as some of the higher-end commercial units, but the electrical configuration options are comparable. Sometimes I put it on low and just run it for 30 to 40 minutes while I read, work on the computer or watch tv. *It should be noted that this gizmo has decent power output and runs for a long time off of one 9v battery. The pads are comfortable--not overly sticky or gooey but nonetheless result in excellent adhesion. When finished just re-apply them to the sticker backing sheet they came with and reseal them in the envelope to extend the life of the pads."

Last year I was out for three weeks, and saw a Rolfing specialist, who fixed the problem and some alignment issues. I think this TENS works by fatiguing and relaxing the piriformis muscle which has become tight, causing the nerve pain."
"Elegant little digital unit, and I do mean little (3 and 3/4" X 2" X 3/8") which is very nice and extremely convenient, but there are some unnecessary difficulties which you'd think the manufacturer would want to fix. This looks like it's been launched to market without that final review to make sure it's optimally packaged for the customer. I just hope there aren't durability or quality control issues that may have been overlooked in the rush. If you do this while you are hooked up, you will in fact feel it applying a different mode of operation. In this case, upon discovering the tens unit (duh, been in pain for a long time and am only finding out about these wonderful machines now), I bought this unit and a Trumedic PL-009 at the same time to compare them. I ran it for most of the day today, and that didn't put a discernible dent in the charge. Maybe some things about dinosaurs are not so bad though, when you think about how the art of communication seems to be going down the same path they did."
"So.. it goes as follows, with description from the leaflet, reading the circles from left to right and top to bottom, like you read a sentence and paragraph... : Mode 1-4 Knead : the 1st circle and has 4 settings in it. Mode 5-7 Acupuncture : the 2nd circle and has 3 settings in it. Mode 8-10 Cupping: 3rd circle with 3 settings. Mode 11-12 Tapping: 4th circle with 2 settings ---> this also seemed to be the closest to the T.E.N.S. setting (I'll explain below ***). Mode 13-14 Shiatsu-Deep: 5th circle with 2 settings. Mode 15-16 Auto Combination : 6th circle with 2 settings. Research what each type of massage means (Knead, Acupuncture, Cupping, etc) to see what you might need on your muscles.. Each mode takes about a minute for it to cycle through whatever its going to do, so give it time for you to decide if you like the mode you're using.. also, increase the intensity to your comfort level so you can feel what the mode you've selected is doing. ), AND the unlike the other modes that definitely 'contracted my muscles, Mode 11-12 only sent a tingly sensation to what felt like just beneath my skin between the electrode pads.. Mode 11-12 DID NOT contract my muscles. ***. To navigate through the modes - After you turn the unit on it starts in the 1st circle. When you are in the Circle you want, pressing the CENTER button just below the 'M' will select the settings within the Circle that you are in. For example: to get to the Mode 5-7 Acupuncture, you turn on the unit, then press the M once to move to the 2nd circle and then use the CENTER button to select the setting you want (Modes 5, 6, 7) since there are 3 settings within that Circle. (on trying out both double electrode wires on my calf and thigh on the Acupuncture mode at about 80% intensity, one of the wires got unplugged from the unit and I got a jot from the remaining wire and electrodes since the load was balanced off the 2 wires then all went to 1 .. that woke me up.. so be careful and attentive to what you're doing."

"When he started grinding his teeth to the point of hearing him throughout the entire house, and the fear of him breaking them...I bought these. I lost one I'm the house the first night, so I gave him the second."

"It's only been 3 days...) What's also amazing, is I had a wrist pain for months on the other hand (early arthritis characterized by a bump which might develop soon my doctor said) and that's better too."
"I read about and watched online video clips about using the Flexbar as means of therapy for tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)."
"The downside for me is that the green bar is larger in circumference than the red bar, and I have small hands, so it makes the exercises harder to do than it should be."
"Was recommended to me by an ER physician who is a rock climber to help treat my lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow)."
"After practice my elbow still gets a little sore, but then I do 3 sets of 12 and almost instantly it feels almost pain free."
"Basically, there are two exercises that you can do with this resistance bar."
"Icing, stretching at home; Same at PT + weights, and other special treatments. Discharged to my doc, who then recommended a cortisone shot and potential surgery down the line. If I continue to improve or stall but still have pain, I will upgrade from the green (15lb) to the 25lb item. I started with the green as I am a 30 year old male who is in ok shape and also this was the color recommended to me by a friend."

I saw this pedal exercisrr, and thought it might help me to both continue building quadriceps as well as loosening the joints. The foam that covers the pedal arms was a bit too long, and rubbed against both the pedals and the center gear. That was easily fixed...sharp case cutter used to trim about 1/3 inch off each end of both foam covers."

NOW-- do not be fooled-- even WITHOUT a whole bunch of required tools, installation of these is a bit of a bear.

"Strap slightly challenging to put on, only reason I didn't give product five stars BUT I would still purchase it again."
"He is able to move his right arm through the loop and up to grasp the top of the cane and provide himself balance as he pulls himself into a sitting position.

"The device is very sturdy - I had ordered a 'back stretcher' thing that looks like a half-circle, and I only found them in plastic. The TRAX, however, is solid metal, and the hand grips are rubber, as are the pads where you put the device against your legs."
"This is a great product!"
"When you use it your back will be tender but then when you go to bed and sleep and wake up you will be loose as a goose , I LOVE mine and will continue to use it until it breaks or forever whichever comes first."
"I was sceptical when I purchased the lo bak especially because I felt that it was too good to b true,I suffer from a degenerative disease on my lower back and gettin out of bed or lying in bed for more than a few minutes,but this device is the holy grail to me since the last week that I have been using it,my pain is 99 percent relieved and getting out of bed is a relief ,thank you."
"Several years ago I had a costly and long round of low back de compressions at the chiropractor."
"It comes with a video that shows you all the different ways you can use this device. This will stretch your lower back."

Find Best Price at Amazon"They're a great way to build up my hand strength, and kind of fun just to work them at the office, or while watching television. One small issue which cost a star in my rating was labeling."
"My surgeon did not order PT/OT right away, and having the putty to use (once my stitches were out) really helped build back my hand strength. I did eventually go to OT, more for stiffness and decreased range of motion, but grip strength measurements taken there 6 weeks after surgery were improved compared to before surgery - and I credit the theraputty for helping me do that."
"I was looking to get a complete set but at the same time not break the bank. Because this set has so many levels, I an can really work the child based on their mood and levels."
"I have used this on silicone, plastic, Formica, and marble surfaces without any problems."
"It is a little more firm than I had thought it would be but dont push it fast and it does a great job for those of us needing a very light workout for our hands."
"I have a trigger thumb that is helped a lot by using this putty."
"I was suspicious at that point whether someone had just put some nasty Silly Putty in a container and called it Theraputty."
"The theraputty that arrived today is 1) much stiffer than the comparable color in the therapist's office. And yes, the product theraputty sold me is a smaller portion than the 2 oz theraputty in the therapy office... yet it's the same brand and everything."
