We now offer a treatment that helps to reduce cellulite.
E.M.S. ELECTRONIC MUSCLE STIMULATOR
Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS), also known as neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) or electromyostimulation, is the elicitation of muscle contraction using electric impulses. The impulses are generated by a device and delivered through electrodes on the skin in direct proximity to the muscles to be stimulated. The impulses mimic the action potential coming from the central nervous system, causing the muscles to contract. EMS is both a form of electrotherapy and of muscle training as complementary technique for sport training. In the United States, EMS devices are regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
EMS causes adaptation, i.e. training, of muscle fibers. Because of the characteristics of skeletal muscle fibers, different types of fibers can be activated to differing degrees by different types of EMS, and the modifications induced depend on the pattern of EMS activity. These patterns, referred to as protocols or programs, will cause a different response from contraction of different fiber types. Some programs will improve fatigue resistance, i.e. endurance, others will increase force production.
Because of the effect that strengthened and toned muscles have on appearance (a stronger muscle has larger cross-section), EMS is also used by a niche of practitioners for aesthetics goals. EMS devices cause a calorie burning that is marginal at best: calories are burnt in significant amount only when most of the body is involved in physical exercise: several muscles, the heart and the respiratory system are all engaged at once.
In EMS training few muscular groups are targeted at the same time, for specific training goals. A niche of coaches regularly use professional EMS devices as integral part of the training of their athletes; some of these are high profile coaches, such as track coach Charlie Francis, who used the technique to supplement the training of Olympic-level athletes.
FDA certification
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) certifies and releases EMS
· Prevention or retardation of disuse atrophy;
· Increasing local blood circulation;
· Muscle re-education;
· Immediate post-surgical stimulation of calf muscles to prevent venous thrombosis;
· Maintaining or increasing range of motion.
The FDA mandates : no use for wearer of pacemaker; no use on vital parts, such as carotid sinus nerves, across the chest, or across the brain; caution in the use during pregnancyThis machine can tighten and tone your muscles. Some places on the body are next to impossible to tone the way we want, but with this machine we are able to do that. Sculpt your body and get rid of cellulite.
