At present, people have raised many questions about the practice of electrical stimulation, which have caused negative reactions among potential consumers. Although some are based on facts, there are many myths that should be clarified, of which we emphasize the most common:
Electrostimulation causes injuries: Electro-stimulation itself doesn’t cause injuries; the injuries are caused because of the lack of knowledge on how to employ this technology. However, it is true that certain risks are implied if a proper previous assessment of the user is not carried out and their medical history, diseases and contraindications are unknown…
Electrostimulation makes you thinner: Personal commitment to exercise is essential to achieve good physical results, and this is also linked to a healthy diet according to your goals. EMS training produces weight loss due to the increase in basal metabolic rate; but only if it is complemented with a good food routine, the slimming process can be accelerated, in addition to helping improve the muscle tone, strength, agility and, in short, the physical capacity of the person.
• Electrostimulation works even when relaxed: The body keeps being stimulated for a few minutes or hours after training and contracting the muscles. Muscle strength and endurance are gained, as well as the rest of the objectives which it is designed for are achieved, but only with a routine of training according to the desired goal.
