Once you have familiarised yourself with the controls and features of your TENS
device, it is important to place the TENS electrodes in a position which gives the
most pain relief. This may take 3 or 4 attempts to find the most suitable position,
for maximum pain relief.
If you are using two electrodes, place the electrodes directly onto the painful area
at a position where you feel the pain starts and where it finishes. You may now
position the electrodes around the painful area to locate the most suitable
position for maximum pain relief.
The alternative method is to use four electrodes surrounding the painful area see
examples below

The complete area between the electrodes will now be treated when positioning
the electrodes as shown.
