FAQs
What is electrical muscle stimulation (EMS)?
Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) is a technology that uses electrical impulses to target and stimulate muscles. These impulses mimic the signals the brain sends to the muscles during physical movement, helping to strengthen, tone, and improve muscle recovery without intense physical exertion. EMS is commonly used to complement training, speed up rehabilitation, or alleviate muscle pain.
What are the benefits ?
EMS offers many benefits, such as:
Muscle strengthening: Enhances strength and muscle tone.
Rapid recovery: Helps speed up recovery after intense training by reducing soreness.
Improved blood circulation: Stimulates circulation and helps eliminate toxins.
Cellulite reduction: Contributes to skin firming and reducing the appearance of cellulite.
Rehabilitation: Used therapeutically for muscle rehabilitation after injury.
Is EMS safe?
Yes, EMS is generally safe when performed by trained professionals. However, certain health conditions, such as pacemakers, heart problems, or skin infections, may contraindicate its use. Before any session, we conduct a health assessment to ensure that EMS is appropriate for your condition.
How many EMS sessions are needed to see results?
Results vary depending on the individual and their goals. Generally, a minimum of 8 to 10 sessions is recommended to start noticing significant improvements, whether in muscle gain, toning, or cellulite reduction. However, results can be visible from the first session, especially in terms of muscle relaxation and pain reduction.
Does EMS hurt?
No, EMS should not be painful. You may feel muscle contractions or slight tingling sensations, but they should be comfortable. The intensity of the impulses can be adjusted based on your preferences and tolerance. We ensure that each session is comfortable and tailored to your needs.
Who is EMS suitable for?
EMS is suitable for a wide range of people, including athletes, individuals in rehabilitation, and those looking to improve their physical condition. It is ideal for:
Athletes aiming to optimize their performance.
People recovering from injuries.
Individuals looking to tone and firm their body.
Those wanting to improve blood circulation and overall well-being.
Is there any preparation required before an EMS session?
No special preparation is needed, but it’s recommended to come well-hydrated. If you already engage in physical activity, it’s best to schedule your EMS session after a workout to maximize recovery benefits. We’ll provide all the necessary information to help you prepare for your first session.
How long does an EMS session last?
EMS sessions typically last 20 minutes. The duration can vary depending on your goals and the targeted area, but the sessions are generally short and effective, making them easy to fit into a busy schedule.
