How USTIM can help you?

If you need to recover the muscular
tone of a defined area of your body,
after a period of immobility, USTIM
can help you.
If you need to regain your shape, but
you don’t have enough time for
regular exercise, USTIM can help
you.
If you need to improve the
performance of specific muscles and
the effectiveness of the physical
exercises, USTIM can help you.
