EMS for back pain
Bayreuth university study (2003):
"Full-body ems training is a great way to reduce widespread back pain and increase physical strength as well as or better than traditional strength training."Improvements in body shape and overall mood appeal to men and women of all ages.In conclusion, this study supports whole-body EMS training as an effective training method that will benefit a wide range of target groups."
Electronic Muscle Stimulation (EMS), is the elicitation of muscle contraction using electric impulses. The impulses are generated by the device and stimulate every major muscle group through electrodes placed near to the muscles being stimulated. The electrodes are generally pads that adhere to the skin. The impulses mimic the action potential that comes from the central nervous system, causing the muscles to contract.
