Electric Muscle Stimulation Training, or EMS training, sounds like a futuristic technique or service. But the future is right now. When used under the supervision of a trained professional, EMS training is a very efficient, effective, and safe method to treat injuries, muscle weaknesses, and muscle imbalances. Interestingly, without EMS, your muscles only activate about 30% of your muscle fibers. When these fibers fatigue, the other ones are activated. But with EMS, 100% of your muscle fibers are stimulated contributing to improving strength and improved muscular balance. It can also help you recover after an injury by helping you strengthen muscles around the affected area. By having stronger muscles, your injured area gets the support it needs. At Athlete’s Choice Massage, our team is trained in using EMS to improve your recovery and accelerate your body’s healing. That way, you can get back to the activities you know and love faster than ever before.

Electric Muscle Stimulation (EMS) has a long history dating back to ancient Rome, where it was used to aid in the recovery of injured gladiators. In the 18th century, Luigi Galvani discovered that electrical current could stimulate muscle contractions. However, it wasn’t until the mid-20th century that EMS was developed as a tool for physical therapy and sports training
The Russian space program also played a significant role in the development of EMS technology, using it to maintain muscle mass and bone density in cosmonauts during long periods of space travel. Today, EMS is widely used in sports training and rehabilitation, as well as in cosmetic treatments such as muscle toning and cellulite reduction.
EMS is a therapeutic technique that uses electrical impulses to stimulate muscle contraction, promoting muscle strength and healing.
The electrodes of an EMS machine are placed on the skin over the targeted muscle group. The electrical impulses mimic the natural signals sent by the nervous system to contract muscles, causing the muscles to contract and relax repeatedly.
EMS can help with muscle strengthening, recovery from injuries, pain relief, and improved blood flow. It can also be used as a supplement to traditional exercise to increase muscle activation.
EMS is generally considered safe when used properly by a qualified healthcare professional. However, it is not recommended for individuals with certain medical conditions, such as epilepsy, pacemaker implants, or pregnant women.
EMS sessions can range from 10-60 minutes, depending on the individual’s needs and goals. A qualified healthcare professional will determine the appropriate length and intensity of the session based on the individual’s condition and response to treatment.
