Ive been using it for over a month and it has really helped me relax and release tension in my muscles.-Hera ThompsonHouston, Texas Electrical stimulation using EMS has been shown to improve circulation and reduce swelling and pain due to fluid build-up (edema). Interferential current electrical stimulation alters blood flow velocity and vessel size. Studies show EMS improves blood pressure, oxygen uptake and heartbeat. Reduces Muscle Tension and Strain Your body is equipped with a built-in signaling system known as bioelectricity. When your brain sends out electrical pulses, they travel through your nervous system to tell your body how to respond. Low levels of bioelectricity generated by the injured area produce extra elastin and collagen, which rejuvenate and repair the area. There are many ways to give your skin a boost and although using an electrical current might not be one way that immediately springs to mind, bioelectricity in skincare products is a new technology making its way from across the pond. Acupressure is a technique that hasnt got the same level of attention as acupuncture in the past, but it works in a similar way. By applying pressure to certain points on the body, acupressure can promote relaxation and wellness, as well as treat disease. Originating from China, acupressure has been used for thousands of years but can be thought of simply as acupuncture without needles. Studies have shown that Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) can effectively reduce pain in a variety of conditions, including low back pain, neck pain, and migraines. Improved function: In addition to reducing pain, EMS can also improve function. Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) provides excellent pain relief, without the risk of an addictive substance. EMS technology delivers effective, affordable pain relief that many people also find very soothing. The device sends electronic pulses to the muscle needing treatment, which causes the muscle to exercise passively. EMS has been around for hundreds of years. Luigi Galvani found out in 1761 that electric current can stimulate and activate muscles. In the 1960s sports scientists began using EMS for training athletes and gained up to 40% force gains. In the 1970s, EMS was used in physical therapy to help people with muscle weakness. And today, EMS is used all over the world to treat different conditions and to relax the muscles.
