Is EMS safe to use?
This is a question often asked of us Developed in England over 40 years
ago by a team of scientists and doctors, EMS is used extensively in hospitals,
beauty salons, health clubs and spas as part of the beauty regime and
by physiotherapists and sports medicine to treat those annoying sports
strains and sprains. Electronic Muscle Stimulator (EMS) is quite safe
for any individual capable of taking normal exercise. You can not strain
or sprain your muscles by overworking them with your electronic muscle
stimulator system because the feeling is more like a pleasant tingling
sensation than a shock or jolt. As well a small amount of anesthetic current
is overlapped in the signal. However; the following, should not use electronic
muscle stimulators (EMS): Those THAT ARE PREGNANT. USE A PACE MAKER, HAVE
METAL PLATES OR PINS, HAVE DIABETES OR HAVE ABNORMALLY HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE.
Just as with starting any new exercise program, if in doubt, consult your
physician.
I just had a baby. Can EMS help get my tummy back
in shape?
EMS is ideal for tightening those postnatal bulges back into shape. Treatment
should start approximately 6 weeks after delivery. Very gentle exercise
to begin with, then gradually building up over a number of weeks with
fantastic results.
I am over 5O, and have poor muscle tone. Can EMS
help me?
EMS works well for all age groups. If your muscles require a lot of improvements,
the results seem even more dramatic. So many studies have been done on
people over 50 that show amazing results with any muscle stimulator. Increase
your circulation, strength, tone, and relieve body pain from arthritis,
fibromyalgia, carpal tunnel, sciatica pain.
How long do the effects last?
Like any form of exercise, the results are never permanent unless
you do something to maintain them. We suggest daily treatments from onset
for a minimum of three weeks, with 2-3 sessions weekly thereafter. By
having 2-3 sessions per week, you should be able to maintain your results.
