Ideal for relieving sore muscles caused by exercise, muscle spasms, and carpal-tunnel syndrome, the Electronic Pulse Massager allows you to treat many areas of your body. Particularly effective for the neck and back, this massager uses mild electrical impulses to relieve pain and stimulate muscles. A versatile tool, it can also be used to help soothe the legs, arms, and joints.
Uses Safe TENS Therapy to Stimulate and Soothe
This FDA-approved device has been prescribed by doctors, chiropractors, and physical therapists as a safe, reliable pain management system for decades. What makes it so reliable? The Electronic Pulse Massager works using Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) therapy--a type of therapy that gently stimulates nerves and blocks pain signals before they are received by the brain.
TENS therapy uses a micro-computer that controls high-frequency stimulation through electrode pads placed close to the muscle area you want to target. This type of therapy helps your muscles to contract, assisting the release of waste products like lactic acid and aiding your body’s normal healing process. It can also be effective in relieving some forms of muscle atrophy.
Portable and Compact with LCD Screen
Weighing approximately a half pound, the Electronic Pulse Massager is compact and portable, so you can take it with you anywhere. It measures 9.5 x 7 x 1 inches (L x W x H) and is ergonomically designed for optimum comfort. The massager includes four attachment pads with electrodes that adhere securely to your skin and remove easily after each therapy session.
Operated by four AAA batteries (included), the massager features an LCD screen that clearly shows the massage style, intensity, and time remaining.
Six Automatic Massage Programs and Adjustable Speed
Do you experience sore leg muscles after your weekend bike ride or carpal-tunnel symptoms at the office? Each of these requires different levels of electronic pulses. With the Electronic Pulse Massager's six pre-set automatic massage programs, you can tailor the therapy to your unique needs. You can choose between three massage techniques: light massage, kneading, and firm massage. Plus, the adjustable speed allows you to fine-tune the massager, customizing your session.

Customer Reviews
For one thing, there really isn't a "1" setting on the dials - so the lowest setting can feel a little, well, shocking for someone who is not used to this kind of therapy. This is especially true when the pads lose some of their stickiness and concentrate the power onto a smaller spot.
For another, the three available patterns (beat, knead, massage) each might be perfect for different things, but there is no way of telling without playing with them and seeing what works. My wife stuck with "massage" the whole time and ignored the other patterns.
Still, a good deal for the money. I, too, would recommend getting the Tac Gel and some more pads - the replacement ones are larger than the ones that come with the unit and that's an improvement.
I will say, however, that the 1st set of batteries that I put in, one of them exploded (popped actually) shortly after starting use. I expected a mess in the battery compartment, but no gooey mess, just replaced that one, apparently bad, battery.
I also am very satisfied with the life of the pads. I usually get 2-3 weeks of use for two pads. I lie on the pads and go to sleep with the unit on and sometimes I mangle the pad lead when rolling over in bed. I can sometimes straighten the wire (lead) and get a few more nights usage of the pad. I also find that after a weeks use (or so), I rinse the pads off with water and it seems to rejuvenate the pads a little.
I also like that the unit is silent. No beeping when setting it, or when a cycle ends, as with the Sonic unit. No dealing with a tangled AC cord either.
I have experienced that the unit will not work after restarting due to me having mangled a pad. Perhaps it's safety feature. But all I need do is unplug the wire and plug it in to the other port and it works fine. I've had to do this more than a few times and it always works when moving to the other port.
My mother bought this for me as a gift about 9 months ago and it has allowed me to avoid using pain meds. She also purchased one for herself and two of my siblings and we all love them.
We returned the Dr Ho unit and are keeping this one.
I highly recommend this unit , and Amazon had it shipped to me in Canada in record time, I ordered Sunday night, it shipped Monday morning and UPS had it to my door at lunchtime on Tuesday !! Cant beat that.
The only con is that the pads aren't very sticky, but replacements are cheap.
