Anyone know name of machine used by physios ?

Hi guys. I am sure that everyone has been to a physio at some stage. Alot of times when you have muscle/tendon injuries etc. they rub this gel on you and use this machine to massage your injuries.

The only way I can describe this machine it is that the piece the physio uses to massage you is like a mini electric razor, this is attached by a cable to the main component which looks like a heart monitor machine you see on t.v. I think (??) it stimulates healing by sending electrical impulses to the muscles/tendons etc (???)

I am sure to most people this description is useless but maybe any physio's out there might know what I am talking about. Anyone know what this machine is called ?
Thanks,
Colin

Tens Machine perhaps

They look similar alright. The machines they use are hand held though, and they move it over your muscles themselves.
