At MaxAtHome, certified physiotherapists provide a range of TENS therapy options using medically approved devices. Each type is tailored to manage pain effectively and safely, depending on the patient’s condition:
1. Conventional or High-Frequency TENS
This type uses gentle, high-frequency electrical pulses to stimulate surface nerves, providing immediate relief from acute pain. It is commonly recommended for patients experiencing sudden or short-term pain episodes.
2. Low-Frequency or Acupuncture-like TENS
Low-frequency TENS delivers mild electrical stimulation that triggers the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers. This mode is often used for chronic pain and produces a gentle tingling sensation during treatment.
3. Burst Mode TENS
Burst mode TENS combines high-frequency pulses delivered in bursts at a low frequency. This method offers the benefits of both conventional and low-frequency TENS, providing deeper and longer-lasting pain relief for persistent discomfort.
4. Modulated TENS
Modulated TENS varies the pulse patterns throughout the session to prevent nerve adaptation. This ensures consistent effectiveness and comfort, helping maintain pain relief during longer treatments.
At MaxAtHome Centres, certified physiotherapists provide TENS therapy to help manage a wide range of musculoskeletal and nerve-related conditions, including:
Back Pain: Relief from acute and chronic upper and lower back pain by modulating nerve signals and reducing muscle tension.
Knee Pain: Pain reduction and improved mobility for osteoarthritis, post-injury discomfort, or joint stiffness.
Neck Pain: Targeted nerve stimulation to alleviate tension, strain, or chronic neck pain.
Sciatica: Pain relief from radiating nerve pain along the sciatic pathway.
Arthritis: Management of joint pain and stiffness in osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis.
Tendon and Ligament Injuries: Support for tendonitis, sprains, and overuse injuries.
Post-Surgical Discomfort: Reduction in pain and promotion of early mobility after surgical procedures.
Nerve-Related Pain: Management of peripheral neuropathy, nerve compression, or other nerve-related conditions.
Fibromyalgia and Chronic Pain: Part of a comprehensive pain management strategy for widespread or persistent pain.
TENS therapy at MaxAtHome Centres offers a range of benefits for patients seeking safe and effective pain management. Key advantages include:
Pain Relief: Provides quick and natural relief from acute and chronic pain by modulating nerve signals.
Reduced Stiffness: Helps relax tight muscles and improves joint flexibility.
Lower Muscle Spasms: Reduces involuntary muscle contractions for greater comfort.
Improved Mobility: Supports easier movement and participation in daily activities.
Better Daily Comfort: Enhances overall quality of life by minimising discomfort throughout the day.
Helps Reduce Dependence on Pain Medicines: Offers a drug-free alternative to manage pain.
Customisable Settings for Individual Needs: Physiotherapists adjust intensity, frequency, and duration to suit each patient’s condition and tolerance.
TENS therapy can be used alone or alongside other physiotherapy modalities when appropriate. Understanding how each therapy works and what it targets can help patients make informed decisions about their pain management. The table below highlights the key differences between these therapies:

Purpose |
Pain relief by stimulating surface nerves |
Tissue regeneration, recovery, and inflammation reduction |
Pain relief and improved circulation in deeper tissues |
|
Mechanism |
Low-voltage electrical impulses block pain signals and promote endorphin release |
Light energy penetrates tissue to stimulate cellular repair and reduce inflammation |
Low-frequency electrical currents penetrate deep to reduce pain and promote circulation |

Target Area |
Surface nerves and muscles |
Injured tissues and joints |
Deep muscle and nerve structures |
|
Effect Duration |
Immediate relief during and after session |
Gradual improvement over multiple sessions |
Relief during and after session, primarily for chronic pain |

Best Suited For |
Acute and chronic pain, muscle spasms, back/neck pain, sciatica |
Tissue injuries, post-surgical healing, inflammation, tendon/ligament recovery |
Chronic pain, deep muscle stiffness, joint pain, nerve-related discomfort |
At MaxAtHome Centres, TENS therapy is delivered under the supervision of certified physiotherapists through a structured, step-by-step process:
Physiotherapist Assessment: The session begins with a detailed evaluation of the patient’s medical history, pain patterns, and functional limitations.
Identification of Pain Areas: Targeted assessment identifies specific muscles, nerves, or joints that require stimulation.
Electrode Placement: Electrodes are positioned on the skin over the affected areas to ensure precise delivery of electrical impulses.
Setting Frequency and Intensity: The physiotherapist customises the TENS device settings, including frequency, intensity, and pulse duration, based on the patient’s condition and tolerance.
Treatment Session (20–30 Minutes): Controlled electrical impulses are applied for a typical session duration of 20 to 30 minutes. Patients may feel mild tingling or pulsating sensations, which indicate effective nerve stimulation.
Monitoring Progress and Scheduling Follow-Ups: Physiotherapists monitor the patient’s response to therapy, adjust settings if required, and schedule follow-up sessions to ensure continued pain relief and functional improvement.
The cost of TENS therapy at MaxAtHome Centres depends on:
Session Type: Standard single session or multi-session packages.
Treatment Duration: Longer sessions may have a higher cost.
Condition Severity: More complex cases may require additional sessions.
