Neuromuscular Stimulation (NMS)

Transcutaneous nerve stimulation (TeNS) is used for a wide range of conditions and ailments.
Neuromuscular stimulation is a type of nerve stimulation that activates nerves and their associated muscles. Different types of nerves can be activated, depending on the desired goal of treatment.

Different aspects can be treated by using different settings.

NMS is not painful. On different settings it is felt either as pins-and-needles or a gentle vibration.
Most people describe it as feeling ‘peculiar’, or ‘odd’.
Some find it ‘comfortable’, and ‘not unpleasant’.
Very few are ever ‘alarmed’.
And the odd soul even ‘quite likes it’!

Using an internal probe (electrode) light electrical currents can be applied to the pelvic floor stimulating the nerves and causing muscle contractions. This teaches the correct action and use of the pelvic floor muscles.

Inappropriate nerve responses can be ‘calmed’ e.g. the overactive bladder that wants to go to the toilet all the time can be calmed so that the urge itself is not as intense; this in turn makes it easier for the pelvic floor to be the boss
