Yes, deep tissue massage can hurt during and after the massage. Pain or discomfort is common for deep tissue massage, especially if you haven’t tried it before. 

However, although many find deep tissue massage uncomfortable or painful, most of those who go for deep tissue massage go again because they describe the pain as a “good hurt”. This may be due to the benefits and relief that they get after the deep tissue massage.

If you have ever used a TENS/EMS unit to manage and control pain, then you know one of the biggest no-nos of using one is that it is never recommended that you do so on your face.

That’s because the skin and muscle tissue of your face is very sensitive compared with the rest of your body, and doing so can even cause permanent facial nerve damage.

However, you may be pleased to hear that a dedicated facial TENS unit can be used to help with pain relief, and also give you an added boost to your complexion. But it must be a TENS/EMS unit, and you’ll be using the EMS side of things, not the TENS side of things.

In this blog post, I’ll go into detail on how it works and what it can do for your face.

Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, commonly known as TENS, is a popular way to control both chronic and acute pain.

These days, TENS units come in many varieties and are even portable enough to use whenever and wherever you need pain relief. However, because there is electrical stimulation involved in this pain-relieving process, is it possible to use a TENS unit if you have a pacemaker or ICD fitted?

You must talk to your doctor about your pacemaker and TENS unit before use. Most manufacturers recommend against use if you have a pacemaker, but it depends on the type of pacemaker. Regardless, your doctor should know what you’re doing before you try any sort of TENS unit with a pacemaker!

There are a couple of paths available to treat ED that don’t involve surgery or taking medication like Viagra. One of these paths is TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) therapy. 

In this blog post, I’m going to explain whether TENS therapy can help ED, and discuss male TENS unit pad placement for ED. The clinical trials that have been done have used a setup where the pads go on the base of the penis and the underside of the shaft, near the perineum.
