Really Marcus, so very happy that your shoulder is making a come-back. Did you make that technique up, because it's really smart and most importantly, it is working. The little TENS units are primarily for pain relief. They do have stronger electrical stimulation units that you'll find in clinics which address pain as well, but also try to reduce inflammation. Then there are EMS machines (Electrical Muscular Stimulation) that gets the spasmed/tightened muscle to tighten and relax over and over, to try to relieve the spasming.
The laser is something relatively new, so I really don't feel qualified to give you a decent opinion. But looking at what Nach has gone through and looking at his physique (great new avi by the way Nach, just how you develop can those delts with your RC issues - amazing!), I'd trust his word. And nothing beats someone who gives great deep tissue, as both Nach & AG said.
So sorry to hear about your continued troubles Sfla. I agree with Kel about a letter to an administrator. But, deep down in my heart, I feel the back is going to clear up if you stop compensating for your knee. And once again, I apologize I couldn't give better advice for the Mrs., but MuscleScience knows his stuff and I loved what he said.
Clarky, if you ever get what is it, a "wee niggle" did I get that right - hope I can help.
Insane, so happy you are finding your groove with the T. With your attitude, you're going to be a beast!
Guys, have to tell you, after work I look forward to coming back to this thread. Going on one year now - this test, this forum and this thread (that's only been a few months) has breathed new life into me that I didn't have for too many years to count. I was skeptical of the HIT philosophy and it is really agreeing with me. I have had a weird thing with pain my whole life (please no jokes Marcus and Kel) - in that it somehow validates that I am using my work-time to its max (have some stories). The pain from HIT is really something that agrees with me.
Headed to New Orleans tomorrow. Promised our niece that we would do something fun for her 21st birthday. The wife and I love it down there - going to be a great time!
Best wishes all!
