Thank you for purchasing the Kinetik TENS Period Pain Reliever (Model PPT1). The TENS Period
Pain Reliever is a TENS machine and highly effective in relieving period pain and menstrual cramps.
TENS stands for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation and is recognised as a safe and highly
effective method of relieving pain. TENS is now regularly recommended by doctors, physiotherapists
and pharmacists throughout the UK. Before using, please read all the instructions in this user manual
carefully and keep it safe for future reference.
How does TENS work?
TENS works by passing harmless electrical signals into the body from the pad. This relieves pain in
two ways:
• Firstly, it blocks the body’s pain signals which are normally transmitted from the area of damage
through the nerve fibres to the brain - TENS interrupts these pain signals.
• Secondly, TENS stimulates the body’s production of endorphins – its own natural painkillers.
