TENS MACHINE HIRE
​

Transcutaneous Electric Nerve Stimulation (TENS) devices are designed for labour, providing drug-free pain relief to support a natural birth. 

TENS machines for labour provide a safe and effective form of natural pain relief. Labour TENS machines are highly effective and portable, allowing you to remain mobile and in control throughout your labour.

A TENS machine can provide you with the confidence to take control of your pain relief from the very beginning of your labour. It is a safe, effective, drug-free method of pain relief, which still allows you to use other analgesics, such as morphine or gas-and-air (nitrous oxide) if you wish.
