How the EM 49 Works: Understanding the 3 Modalities
The EM 49 combines three distinct therapy functions to target a wide range of needs.
TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) – For Pain Relief
TENS is a medically proven method that uses electrical impulses to block pain signals from reaching the brain.
Use Case: Ideal for treating chronic back pain, joint pain (e.g., knee or shoulder), neuralgia, muscle aches, and pain associated with sports injuries.
Benefit: Provides effective, drug-free pain relief on demand
EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) – For Muscle Strength and Recovery
EMS uses gentle electrical impulses to activate muscles, mimicking the body's natural contraction signals.
Use Case: Perfect for post-injury rehabilitation, preventing muscle atrophy, targeted muscle toning (e.g., core or leg muscles), and increasing localised blood circulation.
Benefit: Accelerates muscle recovery and rebuilds strength safely.
Massage – For Relaxation
The massage programme provides gentle, rhythmic stimulation to ease muscle tension and promote general well-being.
Use Case: Use after a long day or post-workout to relieve stress, loosen stiff muscles, and enhance relaxation.
Benefit: Reduces muscle stiffness and promotes recovery time.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: What is the difference between TENS and EMS?
A: TENS is primarily for pain relief. It works by stimulating sensory nerves to block pain signals. EMS is for muscle stimulation. It works by causing muscles to contract, which helps with rehabilitation, preventing atrophy, and building strength. The Beurer EM 49 provides both functions.
Q: Can I use the Beurer EM 49 for lower back pain?
A: Yes, the Beurer EM 49 is highly effective for lower back pain. You should use the TENS mode, which has specific pre-programmed applications designed for the back to provide quick, non-invasive pain relief.
Q: How often can I use the TENS/EMS programmes?
A: TENS can be used multiple times a day as needed for pain relief. EMS sessions are typically shorter and should be used to complement a physical exercise programme. Always refer to the user manual and consult your physiotherapist for a personalised treatment plan.
