switches the intensity to zero. This
safety feature prevents any unpleasant
changes in output.
4. HOW 'EMS' WORKS
E.M.S. stands for Electrical Muscle
Stimulation and has successfully been
used in rehabilitation and training in
competitive sports. EMS produces
intensive
and
effective
contraction.
EMS is a complement to other physical
therapy
and

combined with active mobility, strength,
coordination and functional training.
In
training,
the
electrotherapy is used for all kinds of
muscular exercise - warm-up, strength,
speed, power, resistance, endurance,
recovery and also for rehabilitation.
EMS is well known and works as an
excellent
complement
training.
Advantages of EMS
Use of EMS will help to tone and shape
the body by contracting the selected
muscle

It
convenient for areas that are famous for
losing their shape and hard to exercise
such as the upper arms and the face.
Successful athletes all over the world
have discovered the advantages of
electrical muscle stimulation, such as
an increase of the local circulation and
the size of the muscle fibres.

How EMS Works
Muscular activity is produced by the
central and peripheral nervous systems
transmitting electrical stimuli to the
muscles of our body. EMS uses
external electrical impulses that work
through the skin to stimulate the nerves
supplying a specific muscle group.
This current then passes into the nerve
fibres controlling that part of the muscle
stimulating it to contract. So, electrical
stimulation (EMS) artificially activates a
muscle for you enabling to exercise the
muscles and, as with any kind of
exercise if performed regularly, build
strength and tone.
Different frequencies have different
effects; low frequencies (1-10 Hz)
coupled with long impulse times, for
example, have a purifying and relaxing
effect through individual contractions,
whereby the circulation in the treated
muscle is simultaneously improved and
removal of metabolic end products is
supported (lymphatic drainage).
In contrast, by means of a rapid
succession of contractions (fibrillation),
medium frequencies (20-50 Hz) can put
a high level of strain on the muscle, thus
promoting the muscular structure.
5. HOW 'MIC' WORKS
MicroCurrent Stimulation (MIC) is a
type of therapy where very low current
is sent into the cells of the body. MIC is
a very faint current that is so small it is
measured in millionths of an amp
(microamps). Microcurrent has been
used for about 25 years in medicine.
