Benefits of electrical stimulation for the elderly
Our bodies are constantly changing, and it's important to take care of it as we age. Starting from the age of 50, the body faces new drastic changes, wrinkles appear, muscles relax, and weight accumulates. Even if we haven't found a magic bullet for eternal youth, it's entirely possible to alleviate these age-related problems, especially through electrical stimulation.
We cannot stress enough: regular physical activity is important. This doesn't change with age. Generally speaking, regular walking has helped to maintain physical fitness. If you are retired, you can take the opportunity to indulge in gardening or any other hobby that keeps you physically active. To maintain muscle mass, electrical stimulation is the ideal solution. EMS acts directly on the muscles. The results can be seen from the first round of meetings: Increase muscle tone, Reactivation of metabolism, lose weight, Reduce joint pain, Reduce urinary incontinence, Improve flexibility and coordination of movements
What is EMS-Training?
EMS (electric muscle stimulation or electric myostimulation) is a highly effective form of training. It utilizes low and mid frequency electric currents to significantly increase the body’s natural muscle contractions. As a result more muscle fibres are activated when compared to conventional training methods.
EMS-Training is a whole body workout that promotes weight loss, increases physical strength, stimulates muscle growth, and relieves tensions and muscular imbalances. As a form of personal training the workout can be adapted to numerous individual training goals. For example, EMS personal training has been shown to significantly reduce back pain. In some cases, EMS clients have even reported a total alleviation of their (chronic) back problems all together. Due to the increase in both muscle tone and blood flow to neighbouring tissue, EMS may also have a beneficial impact on cellulite problems.

How Does EMS-Training Work?
Electric muscle stimulation training utilizes the body’s nervous system and activates muscle tissue through electric currents. These low or mid frequency impulses are completely harmless when applied properly. The goal is to bring the muscle to a state of total contraction. The key difference to conventional training methods is that the electric stimulation allows for more muscle fibres to be activated during training. In short, more of the muscle is put to work. The intensity of this effect can be controlled through regulation of the electric current itself and the performed exercises.
Whole body EMS-Training recruits all of the body’s large muscle groups and activates even deeper lying muscle tissues that are typically difficult to reach with traditional training methods, especially for beginners. EMS is highly effective. Studies have shown that it is almost 20 times more intense than conventional strength training methods such as high intensity weight training.
How often can I do EMS-Training?
According to current expert opinions and the latest safety standards, you should not have more than one session during the first eight to ten weeks of training. After this adaptation period we recommend to keep at least four days in between EMS sessions. This will give you proper time to regenerate and further adapt to the impulses and protect you from over training.
When determining EMS recurrence, you should definitely pay attention to your current fitness level and overall well-being. It is also wise to make it very clear to yourself and your trainer whether you want EMS-Training to be your baseline workout or a complement to your regular fitness routine.
Keep in my mind that - as with any other sport - proper regeneration and avoiding a state of over training is key! Like any other conventional training method EMS falls under the super compensation principle.
Burn maximum fat
EMS training is the ultimate tool to boost your metabolism, the effectiveness of the sessions results in high caloric expenditure and helps control excess weight.
Shape your body
Electrodes placed directly on the target leave your muscles with no choice but to work, allowing you to target your muscles and sculpt your body.
Soothe your joints
Deeply strengthens muscles without stressing or straining joints, these strengthened muscles in turn provide support for your joints, relieving pain.
Correct your posture
Simultaneous contraction of the agonist and antagonist muscles helps to re-coordinate the postural balance, the muscles are deeply stimulated, and the postural and antigravity muscles are strengthened.
