2 NEW YEAR NEW YOU FRONT COVER PAGE Use this page to design your front cover. To start designing, delete these text boxes January can feel to some and people start adding like the your own text and images, gloomiest month of the year. According to the World Health Organization, 350 million people worldwide suffer from depression at this time of the year. Take time to help a friend beat the January Blues with one of TensCare's eletrotherapy devices. TensCare Ltd is committed to supplying reliable, safe, effective, drug free solutions that will improve the quality of life of the users by helping them feel better naturally.

3 WORLD ARTHRITIS AWARENES MONTH Rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases affect a quarter of all people in the European Union - that is over 120 million people - more individuals than any other disease group. National Institute for Clinical Excellence guidelines for both Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteoarthritis say these people can benefit from the use of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) as part of their pain management programme.

4 ENDOMETRIOSIS AWARENESS MONTH Endometriosis is the second most common gynaecological condition which affects 10 percent of women, that is 176 million worldwide. Electrotherapy is ideal for treatment for a very wide range of causes including period pain. TensCare OVA+ is a non-invasive TENS unit that provides pain releif from Dysmenorrhea (Period Pain) & Endometriosis as well as pelvic pain, Urge Incontinence or Enuresis (Bedwetting).

5 WOLRD HEALTH AWARENESS MONTH Less than 5 percent of people worldwide have no health problems during their lives. Often, people have more than one health condition, and about 2.3 billion people worldwide have more than five health ailments. Electrostimulation serves a number of purposes, including therapeutic and aesthetic applications: from pain relief to toning of inactive and flaccid muscles to analgesic therapy for all kinds of acute and chronic pain. TensCare Perfect EMS unit provides muscle toning, shaping and rehabilitation through EMS, with additional pain relief programmes using TENS to relief pain from injuries and muscle strain.

6 BEDWETTING AWARENESS MONTH Bedwetting, also known as nocturnal enuresis, is much more common than most parents imagine, affecting about 5 to 10 percent of 7 year -olds worldwide. ERIC (The Children's Bowel & Bladder Charity in the UK) say bedwetting alarms are among the most effective and safest bedwetting treatments. TensCare Dry Night Trainer bedwetting alarm uses behavioural techniques to train your child out of wetting the bed at night (Nocturnal Enuresis).

7 DIABETES AWARENESS MONTH Diabetes is a chronic disease that occurs in 10 percent of the adult population according to the World Health Organisation, which is 347 million people in the world. TensCare range of iglove/isock electrodes used with a TENS machine are an effective alternative and adjunctive therapy to current interventions for painful diabetic neuropathy. 'Silver Stim' conductive fabric improves blood flow and mobility and provides long lasting pain relief.

8 CONTINENCE AWARENESS MONTH The World Health Organization reports that bladder control problems affect more than 200 million people worldwide. Women are more likely to suffer from stress incontinence, while the prevalence of urge incontinence occurs in men. Pelvic Floor Exercisers can play a vital role in educating women and men how to perform kegel exercises correctly. TensCare Perfect PFE may help cure urinary and faecal incontinence as well as provide relief from chronic pelvic pain in women and offer treatment of erectile dysfunction in men.

9 PREGNANCY AWARENESS MONTH The World Health Statistics indicate that the average global birth rate is 18.6 births per 1,000 total population, which is about 4.3 births per second or about 256 births each minute for the world with a large proportion of babies being born in August. Maternity TENS machines have an excellent reputation as one of the safest, most effective forms of modern pain control available to women during childbirth. TensCare perfect MAMA TENS uses extra large pads to ensure that all the relevant nerves are covered to give the most effective pain relief.

10 VASCULAR AR DISEASE AWARENESS MONTH Vascular disease is the collective term for diseases of the veins and arteries. Varicose veins are a common side effect of vascular disease, affecting 25 percent of women and 15 percent of men. Electrical stimulation successfully enhances venous and lymphatic outflow, attenuates oedema and associated discomfort. TensCare Sports TENS unit offers a Circulation Booster programme which in fact is an effective way of improving circulation, alleviating pain & reducing swelling.

11 WORLD BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH The four most common cancers occurring worldwide are lung, female breast, bowel and prostate cancer accounting for around 4 in 10 of all cancers diagnosed worldwide. It is estimated that there will be 23.6 million new cases of cancer each year by TensCare is pleased to support Wear It Pink Breast Cancer Charity and will donate 1.00 from each transaction made during the month to support Breast Cancer Sufferers around the world.

12 SHAPE UP FOR CHRISTMAS More than one in four adults in the world are trying to lose weight "most of the time". The research found that although people were conscious of the need to eat well for the sake of their health, many were dieting to look good, especially in the time before Christmas. Electrical muscle stimulation, or EMS, prevents muscle atrophy and and is effective as part of a rehabilitative physical therapy plan. TensCare perfect BEAUTY may help you rid your body of cellulite, puffiness and toxins, as well as help you firm up and tone.
