Cold causes muscles to tense up and blood circulation to decrease. People with chronic pain, osteoarthritis, tension or back problems feel this particularly acutely. Less movement in everyday life – for example due to slippery paths or cozy hours on the sofa – further intensifies this effect.
This makes it all the more important to actively do something good for the body in winter too.
Exercise remains one of the most important factors in preventing or alleviating pain – even (or especially) in winter. Even small units can help:
Walks in the fresh air stimulate blood circulation
Gentle stretching and mobilization exercises loosen tense muscles
Targeted strengthening supports joints and spine
If you want to get moving again after an injury or prolonged immobilization, you should start particularly carefully and rely on supportive measures.
A lot can also be done in everyday life to reduce pain in winter:
Use heat in a targeted manner (e.g. heat pads or warm clothing)
Regular exercise breaks in the home office
Ergonomic sitting and sleeping positions
Relief of tense areas of the body through massage or gentle stimulation
Modern medical technology can be a valuable addition here.
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is a proven method for treating chronic and acute pain – without the need for additional medication. Gentle electrical impulses inhibit pain signals and promote blood circulation.
Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS), on the other hand, supports targeted muscle building, for example after operations or prolonged immobilization.
One example of this combined form of therapy is the innoSTIM-TE, a digital TENS/EMS combination device with additional massage programs.
The innoSTIM-TE combines three functions in one device:
10 TENS programs for pain treatment, including for the neck, back, joints, hips or legs
9 EMS programs for targeted muscle building and re-mobilization
3 massage programs (kneading, rubbing or tapping), which are perceived as a pleasant tingling sensation
Thanks to the large display with a clear indication of the optimal treatment regions, it is particularly easy and intuitive to use. The device can help to relieve pain, strengthen the muscles and make everyday life noticeably easier, especially in the cold season.
The innoSTIM-TE is listed in the GKV-Spitzenverband’s list of medical aids and can be used for various indications – including back pain, muscle tension, re-mobilization after injuries or promoting blood circulation.
Note: As with all medical devices, contraindications must be observed and the instructions for use must be read carefully.
So that you can do something good for yourself or the people who are important to you during the cold season, we are offering you the innoSTIM-TE at a special promotional price during the Advent and Christmas season.
A small thank you for a good year of cooperation.

Walking is something that most people take for granted – but if you have weak foot dorsiflexion, every step can become a real challenge. Those affected have difficulty lifting the forefoot during the swing phase. The foot drags on the ground, the gait becomes unsteady and the risk of tripping or falling increases significantly.
Foot drop fundamentally changes the way you walk. Every step requires concentration and the risk of tripping and falling is high. Particularly in the home environment and when climbing stairs, it becomes clear just how restricted the mobility of those affected is.
Every year, the Christmas season invites us to pause for a moment, take a deep breath and reflect on the essentials.
For us, this means above all saying thank you.
MEDICA 2025 has once again shown where the future of medicine is heading: digitalization, AI and robotics are shaping the next steps in healthcare. With thousands of exhibitors and trade visitors from all over the world, the trade fair offered a unique look at the technologies of tomorrow – and we were right in the middle of it all.
Pain in the back, joints or due to tension impairs mobility and quality of life. Many people are therefore looking for an effective method with few side effects. TENS and EMS devices can help here. They use electrical impulses to relieve pain, strengthen the muscles and promote well-being.
Important information for doctors: What has changed in the provision of medical aids.
Since February 14, 2025, a legal amendment has been in force that significantly simplifies the provision of medical aids to your patients. The aim of the change is to reduce lengthy review and approval processes and to make the provision of medical aids faster and more reliable.
HELLER MEDIZINTECHNIK GmbH & Co. KG has been a certified medical technology company for over 25 years and has many years of experience in designing solutions in the field of electrical nerve and muscle stimulation.
