Advantages of EMS
Use of EMS may lead to faster progress
in the patient's treatment programme.
The method is simple and appropriate
for treatment in the clinical setting as
well as for self-treatment at home.
How EMS Works
Electrical Muscle Stimulators can play a
vital role in educating women and men
about
sensation they should feel when doing
pelvic floor exercises. Electrical Pelvic
Floor Exercisers (PFE) offer a non-
invasive
contraction of muscles via a gentle
stimulation to the pelvic floor through a
discreet probe or electrode pads when
they are placed close to the nerve that
controls the pelvic floor muscles. 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 you to develop
your
contractions exercise the muscles and,
as with any kind of exercise if
performed regularly, build strength and
tone.
In urge incontinence, pelvic floor
exercisers work in a slightly different
way. The electrical stimulation is
designed to soothe your bladder
muscles rather than exercise your
pelvic floor. Elise uses a gentler, low
frequency
release of endorphins and reduces
involuntary contractions of the bladder
(detrusor) muscle.

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). The
oxygen supply to the muscle is
improved.
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
the
