From your calves and abdomen to your back and neck, physical therapy devices can be applied across many areas of your body and are easy to use without assistance. Simply attach the handheld or wireless device to the affected area and relax with a book or TV show while you start your session.

Discover the natural difference an EMS and TENS machine can make

Our range of physical therapy devices offers alternative at-home therapy to help naturally manage symptoms of pain. Suitable for treating sports injuries, strained muscles and general pain relief, EMS machines use electrical impulses to condition and strengthen your muscles and aid your body’s natural ability to heal quickly (Machado, Santana, Tacani and Liebano, 2022).

For more chronic, long-term pain, our TENS devices will use the electrical current to block the pain signal from transmitting to your spine and brain to help manage, minimise and reduce the feeling of pain from registering. Before you purchase a TENS device or EMS machine, ensure you consult a medical practitioner who can provide you with expert advice and the best course of action to provide overall relief.

FAQs

What is the difference between a TENS machine and an EMS machine?

A TENS machine (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) is designed to block pain signals from reaching the brain, helping to relieve chronic and acute pain. An EMS machine (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) sends electrical impulses to stimulate muscle contractions, supporting muscle strengthening, recovery, and rehabilitation. PainPod devices offer the benefits of both in one unit.

Are TENS and EMS machines trusted to use at home?

Yes — PainPod TENS and EMS machines are medically certified, trusted for home use, and trusted by healthcare professionals across Australia. Always read the instruction manual, and if you have an existing medical condition, consult your GP or physiotherapist before use.

What conditions can a TENS machine help with?

TENS machines may help relieve pain associated with arthritis, back pain, nerve pain, post-surgery discomfort, labour pain, and sports injuries. They're commonly used for natural pain relief and can be a drug-free alternative to medications.

Can an EMS machine help with muscle recovery?

Absolutely. EMS machines are frequently used by athletes and physiotherapists to improve circulation, reduce muscle soreness, and support muscle recovery after workouts or injury. They can be especially helpful for rehabilitation and strength-building during downtime.

How often can I use a TENS or EMS machine?

Usage depends on your personal needs, but many users benefit from daily sessions of 20–30 minutes. PainPod devices are designed for regular use and come with adjustable intensity settings to suit your comfort and therapy goals.

Where should I place the pads for best results??

Pad placement depends on the pain or treatment area — for example, place them near the source of pain (not directly on the spine or joints). For detailed instructions, visit our How It Works page or see the Hub – How To Use section.

Can I use a TENS machine for period pain or endometriosis?

Yes, many women in Australia use TENS machines for period pain or endometriosis-related discomfort. The gentle electrical stimulation may help reduce cramping and offer relief without the need for medication. Learn more about types of pain and symptoms we treat.

Do PainPod devices require a prescription?

No — you can purchase a PainPod TENS and EMS machine online without a prescription. However, if you’re managing a serious condition, we recommend speaking with your healthcare provider first.

Are TENS and EMS machines eligible for health rebates in Australia?

PainPod devices may be eligible for private health insurance rebates depending on your provider. Visit our Healthcare Rebates page for more information.

What’s the best PainPod model for chronic pain or recovery?

All PainPod models offer dual-mode TENS/EMS support, but devices like the PainPod 3 or PainPod M are top-rated for chronic pain management, recovery, and wellness.
