How Does A TENS Machine Work?
TENS machines work by delivering low-frequency electrical pulses to the nerves through electrodes placed on the skin. The pulses help block pain signals reaching the brain and spinal cord and stimulate natural pain relieving endorphins. Specially designed for mums-to-be, Elle TENS machines provide a safe and effective form of natural pain relief during labour.

How does the Elle TENS work during labour?
How does the Elle TENS work during labour?
A TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) machine works by delivering low-frequency electrical pulses to the nerves through electrodes placed on the skin. This pulse overloads your nervous system. As your body can only focus on so much information at a time, it prioritises the TENS pulse (nerve activity) over pain signals, meaning that fewer pain signals make it to your brain and spinal cord, so you feel less pain. This is a part of ‘The Gate Control Theory of Pain’.
At the same time the body will release natural pain relieving endorphins.
