What Is Electro Muscle Stimulation (EMS)?
Electro Muscle Stimulation ( EMS ) is a technology that was first developed in the early 1970’s for astronauts who needed a fast reshaping of muscles after returning from outer space. Since then, numerous research studies have been performed using EMS. Bruce Lee used EMS extensively to increase speed and hardness. The US Medical Advisory Committee has allowed the use of Electro Muscle Stimulation ( EMS ) systems by athletes since the 1972 Olympics. How Does EMS Work? Electro Muscle Stimulation is a very safe and simple procedure, in which micro currents are applied to the muscle fibers of a treated area, stimulating them and making them work. The stimulation creates huge energy demand in the muscles. To satisfy this demand, muscles utilize surrounding fats as the source of energy, burning them the same as they do during a regular workout.
