EMS stands forElectrical Muscle Stimulation, or muscle stimulation via electrical impulses.
In physiotherapy, EMS has been used for decades to rebuild weakened muscles or muscle groups of patients, for example after an accident or surgery. EMS is also increasingly being used outside rehabilitation therapy to build muscle tissue: many athletes use it to give specific muscle groups or deeper muscles an extra workout.
Today, EMS is a widely used and very accessible application for many diverse treatments: from incontinence and chronic pain to ageing symptoms. In the treatment of chronic pain, EMS is often used in combination with TENS: by additionally exercising the deeper muscle tissues, the body is strengthened and helped to better deal with the cause of pain.
How does EMS work?
Every day in our body, millions of electrical signals are sent back and forth between our muscles and our brain. These signals determine the state of our muscles and direct them to make a certain movement. EMS is an innovative and science-based technique that makes use of this network: via electrical impulses from an externalEMS device, the muscles are stimulated, causing them to shoot into action and be stimulated.
StimPads Pro give even better results!
The electrodes in our exclusive StimPads Pro range contain silver in addition to carbon. This way, they spread the current even more evenly and give even better results, especially with EMS. A unique product of the highest quality.
The relaxing effect of EMS
Did you know that EMS is a treatment with many benefits and that you can use it not only to exercise your muscles? After all, it also helps you relax stiff muscles. The weak current signal from the EMS device stimulates blood circulation in your muscles and causes them to loosen up. That way, you can give muscles in your arms, legs, back, neck or shoulders a well-deserved massage after vigorous exercise and get rid of any muscle ache.
