"You supplied me a Pro Tens Machine earlier this year. My mum had a cervical laminectomy and was in severe pain. At some stage she got sick of the 20 pills a day and relied only on the Pro TENS Machine for 1 week continuous use. The pain has now disappeared all but for a small burning sensation and hypersensitivity in the upper arm regions.  Thank you for the great machine!"
S Khoury, RYDE NSW
