Well have you? Have you ever heard of one? I am going to be honest, I have heard of them but didn’t know much about them until I was approached by AVCOO about reviewing theirs. The 36 Modes 3-in-1 TENS Unit offers a lot for a handheld device. If you aren’t sure just what a TENS is then let me explain.
TENS stands for transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation and is a method of pain relief using a mild electrical current. You read that correctly. It uses electricity to help ease your pain. Now the question on everyone’s mind. Does it hurt because you are electrocuting yourself?
First you are not electrocuting yourself. Secondly it does not hurt. The 36 Modes 3-in-1 TENS Unit gives you everything you need to help manage your pain in a safe way right at home. So what makes this unit special? It comes with 36 modes of upgraded waveforms (24 TENS, 6 EMS and 6 MASSAGE modes), and 30 Intensity levels provide stable intensity transitions. More on all of that in a moment.
You can select small or large pads that you can reuse a hundred plus times. The size you use depends on the part of your body you are wanting to work on. For example I use larger ones for my thighs.
You get not only the cord to charge the TENS unit but also cords with the nodes for the pads. Connecting the pads to these is pretty simple. If you have ever had an EKG done then you have seen how these basically connect and work. However, these are for muscles I feel like I need to say and I wouldn’t recommend connecting them up near your heart. Yes, I know it is a muscle but still.
You also get a little bag for everything to go into. It makes keeping things together so much easier. I like that because I spent an hour searching for a dang razor cord the other day only to realize that I had saw it a dozen times but thought it was for something else.
So how does it feel? Well it pulsates and it feels like one of those back massage things that go in chairs. It wasn’t weird and helped my legs feel much less pain. I felt like I could get up and move around a little more quickly on workout day than if I hadn’t used it.

My Final Thoughts
All in all I liked the 36 Modes 3-in-1 TENS Unit it was easy to use and helped with some minor leg pain. I wouldn’t say it was a replacement for my medication but I can certainly see myself using it on workout days when I need a little extra help.
