What is electro-musculation ?

The principle

The principle of electro-musculation is to stimulate peripheral nervous fibres of the muscles with average short impulses transmitted by electrodes placed on the surface of the skin.

The electric impulses generated by the stimulators or generators, make it possible to stimulate various types of nervous fibers :

The motor nerve, having for effect to impose a mechanical answer on a muscle (musculation)
Certain types of sensitive nervous fibres to obtain anaesthetic and endorphin effects (anti-pain, massage)

The principle electro-musculation consists in trigging, by an external stimuli, the muscular contraction, as substitute for orders of our brain. When we decide to contract a muscle, our brain sends an order in the form of electrical currents which move at high speed via nervous fibres. Arrived at destination, these electrical currents excite the motor nerve which then transmits the information to neighbouring fibres and triggers the muscular contraction .

This artificial current is expressed in hertz and in m A . Hertz corresponds to a contraction per second, and the higher is the number of mA the more powerful is the contraction.

With electro-musculation, the stimulation is produced directly on the motor nerve by " optimal " pulses which guarantee safety and comfort of use .

Actions of electro-musculation

Reshape the silhouette

Electro-stimulation alone does not make it possible to lose weight in a consequent way, only a cardiovascular work allows it when combined with food control.

The action of electro-stimulation is aimed at the level of your silhouette (firming, toning up...) and of your tissues (“orange peel” skin effect, fat tissues.). Electro-stimulation does not replace a diet but becomes a very effective ally of your silhouette and your forms.

Optimize your sport sessions

Electro-stimulation has been used for many years by athletes or physiotherapists for physical training and recovery as it gives visible and measurable results.

Relieve the pain

The stimulation of nervous fibres by means of electric micro-impulses is imposed like a technique of choice to fight against the pains. This anaesthetic electrotherapy is widely used today, in particular in medicine of rehabilitation and in the specialized centres of pain treatment. The precision of the currents makes it possible to target perfectly the anaesthetic action according to pathologies (back pains, muscular meltdown, osseous or articulation traumatism) *

* Certain pathologies as certain post-operative rehabilitations require particular precautions of use. It is always recommended to consult the doctor or a physiotherapist before any use of the programs of category " Treatment of the pain ".
