Elle TENS2 machine

 
 

WHAT IS A TENS MACHINE?

A TENS machine is labour tool designed to support you during labour until the birth of your baby, acting as a natural form of pain relief. It allows you to focus and stay in control of your surges, and you can use the machine to work with you as the intensity of your labour increases.

HOW DOES A TENS MACHINE WORK?

The Elle TENS2 is attached to electrode pads which are placed on your lower back, directly on the skin. The electrodes emit a harmless flood of electrical impulses to the nerves. Your brain can only process so much information at once, and these impulses will disrupt and block your pain pathways, easing the sensations of your contractions. It also encourages the production of your own beta-endorphins, which are hormones produced by your body, and these also work as natural pain relivers.
