How 'Ems' Works - TensCare perfect BEAUTY Bedienungsanleitung

Note: The electrode pads need
to be applied directly to the skin
before the intensity increase
buttons will operate. If the perfect
BEAUTY detects the unit is not properly
connected to you (for example if the
electrode pads or leads come loose)
then the unit switches the intensity to
zero. This safety feature prevents any
unpleasant changes in output.

4. HOW 'EMS' WORKS

E.M.S. stands for Electrical Muscle
Stimulation and has successfully been
used in medical rehabilitation and
training in competitive sports. EMS
produces intensive
muscular contraction.
EMS is a complement to other physical
therapy and should
combined with active mobility, strength,
coordination and functional training.
In training, the
electrotherapy is used for all kinds of
muscular exercise - warm-up, strength,
speed, power, resistance, endurance,
recovery and also for rehabilitation.
EMS is well known and works as an
excellent complement
training.
Advantages of EMS
Use of EMS will help to tone and shape
the body by contracting the selected
muscle group. It

losing their shape and hard to exercise

Successful athletes all over the world
have discovered the advantages of
electrical muscle stimulation, such as
an increase of the local circulation and
the size of the muscle fibres.
How EMS Works
Muscular activity is produced by the
central and peripheral nervous systems
transmitting electrical stimuli to the
muscles of our body. EMS uses
external electrical impulses that work
through the skin to stimulate the nerves
supplying a specific muscle group.
This current then passes into the nerve
fibres controlling that part of the muscle
stimulating it to contract. So, electrical
stimulation (EMS) artificially activates a
muscle for you enabling to exercise the
muscles and, as with any kind of
exercise if performed regularly, build
strength and tone.
Different frequencies have different
effects; low frequencies (1-10 Hz)
coupled with long impulse times, for
example, have a purifying and relaxing
effect through individual contractions,
whereby the circulation in the treated
muscle is simultaneously improved and
removal of metabolic end products is
supported (lymphatic drainage).
In contrast, by means of a rapid
succession of contractions (fibrillation),
medium frequencies (20-50 Hz) can put
a high level of strain on the muscle, thus
promoting the muscular structure.
