sam - this page might be of interest to you...

http://www.injurednewborn.com/maia/estim.html

it will explain to you about NMES and TES and when you would do either...

(TES regrows atrophied muscle - NMES strengthens muscle)

also - tascnetwork has a list of "certified" TES therapists - they won't send the machine to anyone who has not had the training....

good luck and ask more questions - there are quite a few of us doing TES now...
