Compex Knee Wrap for pain relief, Unisex

The Compex® Knee Pain Relief Knee Brace provides comfort and support to the kneecap by temporarily relieving pain caused by exercise, heavy work or daily activities.

The product is also indicated for those with arthritis and chronic pain. 8 TENS / EMS programs can be selected.

TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) consists of small electrical impulses delivered through a device that can help relieve pain through two different means.

By stimulating the sensory nerves, TENS produces high levels of endorphins to relieve body pain.

The other method of pain relief, known as the Gate Control Theory, allows you to block pain signals to the brain.

EMS (electrical muscle stimulation) is often confused with TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation), a common modality used in physical therapy protocols.

Compex electrical muscle stimulation delivers an electric current at a frequency specially designed to target the motor nerves.

These nerves trigger muscle contraction based on the amount of resistance applied through the device.

The brain goes through a similar process when it voluntarily activates the muscles.
