      But! If you use one of these (or a TENS unit) do not run the electrodes from one extremity to another. Even a small amount of electrical current going across your heart can mess with your cardiac rhythm.

        Similar, and some devices can do both. EMS makes muscles contract so it uses higher voltage. But they’re both devices that shoot electricity into an electrode you put on your body.
