EMS/TENS vs Ultrasound

Im not sure what TENS unit you guys use - Mine works a treat in reducing mucsle tension. On Monday i used it on One client who had a bad back that foam rolling, massage etc just wasnt working with, so on Monday i used my Tens Over his Rhomboids and Spinal erectors- Worked a treat, not only pain gone, but also the tension, the muscle softened right up. He came for some training on Wed and Thursday, No issues with back whatsoever.

Another guy came in Last fri - showed him how to Foam roll his back, It worked somewhat, but he was just THAT tight that it hurt too much and took too long. So Thursday, i used the TENS on his back, before i started his spinal erectors were like Steel rods in his back, his rhomboids were like golf balls. After the TENS, they were like Jelly, massaged well and you could then pick up the Adhesions easy.

TENS works - perhaps just don’t use them cheap versions?

Yes, I think It may happend…just not sure If It is really a structural release (soft tissues scars & triggers) or just cause a neural release.

Which RATE and WIDTH signal do you use in such cases? I used 100-70 at an intensity of 10-30 without any visible contraction for 10min. Yes the pain was reduced, but why exactly? They say shut down of the neural pain. I would be more that pleased myself to learn that It can do more.
