Neuromuscular stimulator--great online store and great model

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

I need to use a an electrical neuromuscular stimulator to help get

back and maintain muscle tone. Right now the PTist and I are working

on legs, and shoulder traps will be next, but really there isn't a

strong muscle in my body.

Anyway, I was advised I may as well buy one of these little

machines. I had rented one from the local health store and they

charged us $70 cdn to rent a model from 1980 that is a real nasty

prickly b*gg*r wiht only one channel of output, and they wanted $500

dollars for me to buy it! AGH excuse me? Anyway, I got on the web

and located a great little online store called " PT Mart " . I got a

great model (EMS TS 1311 for those interested) for 90 US!!! Want to

hear the clencher? The supply store in Ottawa who specializes in

these things wanted $495 for it!!! So with shipping and $22 cdn for

customs the total cost about $150 cdn. And it came with a hard case,

battery, two sets of 4 electrodes, and the manual. I have just used

it and after getting the settings worked out it really is a great

little machine. The muscle stim isn't at all as painful as the other

1980 old rental model was, and there are 2 channels of output.

So anyway, here is the address to PT Mart (www.ptmart.com)'s 'TS EMS

1311' neuromuscular stim I've got for anyone who needs one of these

things.

And for kicks, here is the link to the supplier in Ottawa listing

this exact thing for a little over 3X as much...
