What is EMS?
Electro Muscle Stimulation (EMS) represents a groundbreaking approach to physical training, employing a specialised training suit designed to activate your muscles. This suit is equipped with strategically positioned electrodes that engage all major muscle groups, providing a thorough workout experience. In contrast to conventional gym workouts that typically engage around 60% of your muscles, EMS training can stimulate over 90% in a 20 minute training session 20. Embrace a more efficient and effective method to advance your fitness journey with EMS.
EMS Training Today
Over the years, EMS technology has progressed to become increasingly accessible, resulting in its rising popularity within fitness and athletic training settings. Athletes and fitness enthusiasts have integrated EMS into their workout routines to effectively focus on specific muscle groups and enhance overall muscle conditioning. The advancements in EMS technology, along with the launch of professional grade portable devices, have made commercial EMS units available for home use, with the guidance from a trained EMS practitioner.
What To Expect?
The EMS system utilises a cutting-edge training suit that effectively stimulates your muscles. This suit contains electrodes that are precisely positioned to engage each major muscle group simultaneously, thereby accelerating your workout and delivering tangible results.
Each client is provided with a personal undergarment to wear beneath the EMS vest, which is yours to retain once you have purchased and selected the appropriate size. I keep a variety of sizes available in stock. It is essential to wear this undergarment when I arrive for your training session.
I will adjust the impulse strength for each muscle group according to individual needs. These settings are customised for each person. Following this, you will engage in a 20-minute workout session while wearing the vest. The training program can be fully tailored to align with the individual's body type and fitness objectives.
How Does EMS Work?
1. Electrode Placement:
Electrodes are strategically placed over specific muscle groups. The number and positioning of these electrodes are based on the targeted areas and the desired results of the massage.
2. Production of Electrical Impulses:
The EMS device generates controlled electrical impulses that are delivered through the electrodes to the underlying muscles. These impulses mimic the electrical signals that the central nervous system uses to initiate muscle contractions.
​
3. Stimulation of Muscle Function:
The electrical impulses stimulate the muscle fibers, resulting in contractions and relaxations that mirror the natural muscle activity that occurs during physical exercise. This process aims to activate muscles that may not be engaged through voluntary movements.
​
4. Adjustment of Frequency and Strength:
The frequency and strength of the electrical impulses can be adjusted to align with the goals of the massage and the comfort levels of the individual. Higher frequencies and strengths may be utilised for muscle strengthening, while lower settings are better suited for relaxation and recovery.
EMS VS Traditional Training
The EMS makes muscles work harder for longer, and more effectively, than traditional strength training. This is because using EMS enables the simultaneous tensioning of all the major muscle groups, including the stabilising “core” muscles, which are hard to reach with traditional training methods. Because of its impressive effectiveness, EMS training is gaining popularity all over the world.
