the machine as anything other than a stimulator.
A TENS machine?

If I only had a brain...
No, not TENS; I asked. "Electrical stimulation therapy" worked in a Google; I couldn't find the thing before, and now I can. Thanks, all.

Betsy, was the stimulation for pain relief, or for muscle work?
The former would call for TENS, the latter for EMS.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's a PT mainstay, in my experience (or at least for my sorts of injuries) -- even my chiro uses it. My current PT leaves it on micro levels -- he uses it to reduce inflammation post-work. The other uses have been to exercise a muscle I can't use properly myself, or as a part of the warmup.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
They did it to me when I had a busted ankle. I think it was to reduce swelling.

I've only used them recreationally.
(There was one in the house of a gal I was dating... and it was perfectly innocent recreational use. I was being shown how it worked.)

Muscle work, so it's definitely EMS.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
It's a PT mainstay, in my experience
Yup, mine too, as is ultrasound.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah right. I've never had PT, but I read Dan Savage.
