FAQ – Electrical Muscle Stimulation

What Does it Do?

Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) activates a higher percentage of your muscle fibres. Using a special combination of frequencies, EMS devices use electrical pulses to penetrate the muscle skin and fibres very efficiently resulting in pleasant physiological muscle contraction. This allows for the use of a wider range of currents (hertz) with recruitment of more motor units that is ideal for fitness training, rehabilitation (after surgeries and injuries), muscle relaxation and helps address back/neck pain.

What is EMS? (Simple)

EMS is Electrical muscle stimulation but it also goes by a few other names. The most common type of electrical stimulation that you may have already heard of is TENS (transcutaneous nerve stimulation) mostly used in rehabilitation.

What Does Science Say?

So, does electrical muscle stimulation work? In short, yes.
