1.2.3 WHAT IS EMS ?
Electrical Muscle Stimulation is an internationally accepted
and proven way of treating muscular injuries. It works by
sending electronic pulses to the muscle needing treatment
that causes the muscle to exercise passively. It is a product
deriving from the square waveform, originally invented by
John Faraday in 1831. Through the square wave pattern it
is able to work directly on muscle motor neurons. The EMS
System has low frequency and this in conjunction with the
square wave pattern allows direct work on muscle group-
ings.
