EMS
Electrical Muscle Stimulation is an accepted and proven
way of treating muscular injuries. This is being widely used
in hospitals and sports clinics for the treatment of muscular
injuries and for the re-education of paralyzed muscles, to
prevent atrophy in affected muscles and improving muscle
tone and blood circulation. EMS has also been used suc-
cessfully for many years in the field of high- performance
sport for muscle regeneration and muscle development.

How EMS works

The brain sends impulses to a muscle which causes the
muscle to work. EMS generates artificial stimulation of the
muscle by the use of low frequency electrical pulses that
stimulate the nerves located beneath the skin. That leads to
a reaction of the targeted muscles.
The muscle is unable to distinguish between an impulse
from the brain or one that comes from outside. The muscle
reacts with a contraction in both cases and uses up energy.
