I have been given this product as part of a product review through the Chronic Illness Bloggers network. Although the product was a gift, all opinions in this review remain my own and I was in no way influenced by the company.
Sadly my husband and I are starting to show our age. It was bound to happen and our bodies don’t seem to match up with how old our brains think we are. Somehow we have entered our 40s. I am not sure how it happened and it kind of snuck up on us. Since he is a truck driver he has a lot more wear and tear on his body on a daily basis than I do. We have tried a few over the counter TENS unit for him. I can’t use them because of the type of fibro I have, it majorly messes me up. They seem to to work really well for him, but batteries and quality of the product seem to hinder their use. Plainly speaking he’s gone through a lot of them. I have been searching for one for him that could stand up to his abuse. He doesn’t have time to go to PT either so it was becoming a struggle.
As soon as I saw this one come through my email I knew he needed to try it. It’s rechargeable, the replacement parts are cost effective and the reviews online were good. He didn’t get his hopes up but started trying it in the beginning of January on particularly cold days we were having here in IL. We were amazed at how well it worked and how immediate the relief was in his back. His back takes a beating driving the truck and I was happy that with the TECHCare unit and a heating pad he was finally finding relief. The rechargeable batteries don’t weaken the power which is so often the case. He likes that it has a usb charger cable because he can charge it in the truck at work and use it on his break. It’s little and compact so it’s perfect to throw in his bag and it comes with an awesome holder for the cords and pads. The unit has a large, easy to read display and although I thought it looked complicated at first, it’s really not. It’s super simple. If you are looking for a great device that surpasses the ones you can buy at the drug store, I highly recommend the TECHCare Massager.
