One of the many benefits of EMS is the versatility of the treatment. EMS is an innovative technique mainly used to train muscle groups and build muscle tissue, but it has many more applications. These for example...
1. EMS is used in rehabilitation
For more than 50 years, EMS has been used in rehabilitation sciences. After long-term illness, accident or injury, EMS helps rebuild muscle tissue. EMS can be very targeted and is very efficient: while a normal workout activates about 60% of your muscle, EMS puts 100% of the muscles to work.
2. EMS helps reduce chronic pain
EMS helps you relieve chronic pain and even prevent the symptoms: because you stimulate the underlying deep muscles in a very targeted way, they can take pressure off your joints, thus reducing pain.
3. EMS helps to lose weight
EMS promotes blood flow in the muscles and increases energy consumption, speeding up your metabolism. So that way, you can use EMS to lose weight, provided of course you combine it with a balanced lifestyle and a healthy diet. An additional advantage of EMS is that you can stimulate hard-to-access muscle groups, which will not only help you lose weight in a targeted way, but also restore a nice body shape.
4. EMS is used for cosmetic purposes
Apart from burning fat in your muscles, EMS also has a positive effect on collagen production in your body. This makes for tighter connective tissue. In this way, it can help against cellulite, but also reduces wrinkles and slows down the ageing process. Your skin will look young and soft for longer.
5. EMS helps with incontinence
EMS can be used to train the pelvic floor muscles. In this way, it is a good (preventive) treatment for incontinence, both for men and women.
6. EMS is used as massage
Thanks to the massage programme on most EMS devices, EMS is also often used as a beneficial relaxation after a vigorous physical effort or a stressful day at work.
