Compex

Swiss EMS / TENS units for strength blocks and recovery protocols.

Compex is the old-school muscle stim that still shows up in physio bags. Programs are the product. Pad placement matters more than the SKU on the box.

How to use

Follow the program map. Never use over the chest if you have a pacemaker. Start low.

Editorial rating ★ 4.0

Legitimate stim if you will actually run the protocols. Dusty drawers do not get stronger.
