Massage

Foot spas are a Godsend! You can just plug them in, plop your feet in them and enjoy a cup of tea while getting a massage, all while sitting in the comfort of your home. After a long day, they are the perfect way to unwind and let go of the stress and soreness in your body. 

But what if someone told you that you could possibly get electrocuted during this entire process? Is foot spa electrocution a real phenomenon?

Electrical appliances that contain water always run the risk of causing electrocution. After all, water is a conductor of electricity. If an electric shock enters a small pool of water, well, the results can be quite shocking. Literally. And since foot spas contain rollers, jets, and warmers that are powered by electricity, the risk of electrocution may be enhanced in their case. 

For that reason, people are constantly advised to stay cautious when using them.

If you have the same questions in mind, keep reading our guide to determine whether it is possible or not, what safety precautions you can take when using foot spas, and much more.

In this article, we’re going to look at how transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) can treat pain, and answer the question of how does a TENS unit relaxes muscles.

TENS is a form of electrostimulation that involves sending a small electric current through the body. It’s not powerful enough to harm you, but it is enough to cause your body to release pain-killing endorphins and cause your muscles to flex.

This method of treatment is an excellent short-term therapy for pain reduction and muscle recovery. As TENS units have grown in popularity, though, many companies have started advertising their TENS devices can help you build muscle, increase endurance, and help you “hack” your way to a better body. 

Many people ask: Can you build muscle with a TENS unit?

The answer is: sort of, but, it’s certainly not the full story. 

In this article, we’ll address some of the more ridiculous claims made by some manufacturers. We’ll also discuss the various ways that TENS can help you get more out of your workouts!

All of us have pain somewhere. Chances are you, like me, have at least one or two spots on your body that are painful, tight, uncomfortable, and cause problems throughout the day. Some people have a bad knee from high school sports, others have a sore lower back from standing at work all day, and many more suffer from that infamous shoulder blade pain that just never seems to go away. 

Massages are an outstanding solution to many of these problems. Of course, a weekend at a spa, or even an hour at a spa, can work wonders. But many of us don’t have the time or access to that. Instead, we choose home massagers, whether they be massage chairs, back and shoulder massagers, or percussion massagers.
