Questions about TENS unit

Not to hijack thread, but any info on the LLLT therapy? I see it come up as a suggested alternative to TENS machines all the time.

Very interesting. I had never heard of this kind of laser therapy before. Can it be used for EMS type tasks as well (such as building up muscles and increasing range of motion), or is it only for pain?

Incidentally, I did talk to a PT. He told me to experiment with the TENS unit. I asked him about some of the various EMS settings (such as ramp time), and he explained a little bit but actually seemed a bit confused about some of them. Anyway, in a nutshell, he said to just try different things and see what's helpful, which I plan to do.
