Electric Massagers?

The kind with electrodes that you stick on yourself.

Does anyone know if these are healthy?
I recieved one the other day. Whilst it feels good, I'm wondering if having eletrical currents sent through your muscles is wise.
I am especially thinking that it may cause an irregular heartbeat.

:shk:

When I was in China, I tried some of this.

In Vietnam, there is an accupuncture procedure that uses this. I did not feel anything bad. But yeah, I felt good after receiving this.

A TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator) unit is designed with low power and doesn't go very deep into your body. They advise people not to put the electrodes across the heart "just in case", but normally it has no effect on the heart. Electricity will always take the path of least resistance, in this case that path is just below the skin (transcutaneous).

and I thought there was going to be photos of "neck massagers"


life disappoints me.
