MUSCLE STIMULATION
The Muscle stimulation programmes are programmes A, B, C, D, E and F.
Please see the chart below for more detailed information. These 6 individual electronic
muscle stimulator (E.M.S) programmes have been clinically proven for the treatment of
1. Muscle Re-Education
2. Muscle Training
3. Muscle Strengthening
4. Muscle Toning
When using the muscle stimulator programmes it is important to take professional advice
wherever possible to achieve the best results.

HOW EMS WORKS
1. Relaxation of muscle spasms
2. Prevention or retardation of disuse atrophy
3. Increasing local blood circulation
4. Muscle re-education
5. Immediate post-surgical stimulation of calf
muscles to prevent venous thrombosis
6. Maintaining or increasing range of motion
The EMS units send comfortable impulses through the skin that stimulate the
nerves in the treatment area. When the muscle receives this signal it contracts.
As the signal strength increases, the muscle contracts as in physical exercise.
When the pulse ceases the muscle relaxes and the cycle starts over again,
(Stimulation, Contraction and Relaxation). Powered muscle stimulators should
only be used under medical supervision for adjunctive therapy for the treatment of
medical diseases and conditions.
