What is EMS Shape Therapy?

EMS therapy is increasingly popular for body sculpting and toning due to its ability to stimulate muscle contractions and improve muscle definition without the need for intense physical exercise.

In a voluntary contraction, we are able to activate around 60% of the muscle fibres, while the supramaximal contraction provoked by EMS SHAPE stimulates 100% of the fibres. This causes a rapid depletion of glycogen stores, a local increase in metabolism and the use of fatty acids as fuel. The treatment generates muscle hyperplasia (increase in the number of muscle fibres) and hypertrophy (increase in the volume of these fibres), thus achieving effective muscle toning and strengthening.

Who is Electrostimulation For?

EMS treatment is suitable for those who want to burn fat faster and increase muscle size. But electrostimulation is also definitely suitable for individuals who want to change their body shape. Do you want to work on your body, reduce body fat percentage, or increase muscle mass but don’t have enough time to go to the gym? Undergo an electrostimulation treatment at Gloow! Our EMS by Phanes equipment easily reshapes muscles and effectively aids in fat reduction.

How EMS therapy?

• **Targeted Muscle Stimulation**:
  EMS devices are designed to target specific muscle groups. During a session, electrodes are placed on the skin over the muscles you want to tone, such as the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, or arms. The device then delivers electrical impulses to these areas.

• **Muscle Contractions**:
  The electrical impulses cause the muscles to contract and relax repeatedly, similar to how they would during physical exercise. These contractions can be more intense and frequent than those achieved through voluntary muscle movement alone.

• **Increased Muscle Tone and Strength**:
  Regular EMS sessions can help increase muscle tone and strength by mimicking the effects of resistance training. This can lead to a more sculpted and defined appearance over time.

• **Fat Reduction**:
  While EMS primarily targets muscle tissue, the increased muscle activity can boost metabolism and promote fat loss in the treated areas. This can enhance the overall contouring and slimming effect.

• **Non-Invasive and Convenient**:
  EMS therapy for body sculpting is non-invasive and generally painless. Sessions can be performed in a clinical setting, fitness center, or at home with portable EMS devices. This makes it a convenient option for individuals looking to enhance their physique without surgery or extensive exercise.

• **Complementary to Exercise**:
  EMS therapy can be used in conjunction with regular exercise and a healthy diet to amplify results. It can be particularly beneficial for targeting areas that are resistant to traditional exercise.

• **Customized Treatment Plans**:
  EMS therapy programs can be customized to meet individual needs and goals. The intensity and duration of the electrical impulses can be adjusted to suit different fitness levels and desired outcomes.

Typical EMS Body Sculpting Session

• **Preparation**:
  The skin is cleaned, and electrodes are placed on the target muscle groups.

• **Stimulation**:
  The EMS device is activated, and electrical impulses are delivered. The therapist or user can control the intensity and frequency of the impulses.

• **Duration**:
  A typical session lasts between 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the treatment plan.

• **Post-Session**:
  After the session, there may be a brief period of stretching or massage to relax the muscles.

Considerations

• **Consultation**:
  It's important to consult with a healthcare provider or certified professional before starting EMS therapy for body sculpting to ensure it's safe and appropriate for you.

• **Consistency**:
  Like any fitness or body contouring program, consistency is key. Regular EMS sessions, combined with a healthy lifestyle, yield the best results.

• **Medical Conditions**:
  Individuals with certain medical conditions, such as heart issues, epilepsy, or pregnancy, should avoid EMS therapy or seek medical advice before use.

Overall, EMS therapy can be an effective tool for enhancing muscle tone and body contouring when used properly and consistently.
