The Vive EMS TENS unit is a compact at-home electrotherapy device for sore muscles and chronic pain from sciatica, tendonitis, carpal tunnel and arthritis. It combines 22 therapy modes (eight EMS, nine TENS, five massage) with 40 intensity levels per channel, so it covers both pain relief and muscle stimulation in one unit. It is small, clips to a belt for hands-free use, and ships with eight reusable self-adhering pads and two lead wires. Against basic single-mode TENS devices it offers far more modes and channels; against pricier clinical units it gives up preset programs and a rechargeable battery, and owners commonly note that pads wear out and need replacing.

Owners of Vive electrotherapy units generally find them easy to set up and effective for everyday aches, and they value the wide mode and intensity selection. Recurring complaints center on electrode pads losing stickiness and on the learning curve of sorting through many modes.
This EMS TENS unit is a compact electrotherapy device for at-home use. It has 22 therapy modes: eight EMS, nine TENS and five massage. It is intended for the neck, shoulder, hip, back, arms and legs, and for easing tired, sore muscles, stiffness, fatigue and tension.
Intensity has 40 levels and can be adjusted for each channel during a session. The unit is small enough to fit in a pocket or purse, and an integrated belt clip allows hands-free use.
The pre-gelled electrode pads are self-adhering, flexible and repositionable, so no extra gel is needed. They leave no sticky residue and are reusable when stored correctly, lasting at least 20 sessions. Consult a doctor before using the unit on any painful area of the body.
