WHAT IS E.M.S.
E.M.S. or Electronic Muscle Stimulation is a
revoluntionary muscle exercise concept for use in your own home.
E.M.S. units are light weight, portable, and scientifically
proven to exercise your body muscles fast and effectively.
Our E.M.S. units deliver a gentle impulse to your muscles via a
soft rubber pad. Your muscles respond to this impulse by
contracting and relaxing rhythmically as they would during
regular physical exercise. Your muscles are worked without
putting stress on your joints, knees, lower back, neck or
shoulders etc.
E.M.S. has been used for decades by Doctors, Physiotherapists
(for muscle rehab, and prevention of muscle atrophy etc.),
Chiropractors and Professional Athletes eg: Lee Haney, (body
builder) Bruce Lee, martial arts( as seen in film Dragon
portrayed by Jason Scott Lee) Mohammad Ali, boxer, used E.M.S.
for strengthening his abdominal muscles, sprinter, Angela Taylor,
one of the fastest girls in the world used E.M.S. in training.
Other examples include U.S.S.R. COACH KOTZ reported that E.M.S.
showed strength gains of up to 30% in a three week period. This
represents a tremendous breakthrough with athletes who have
already been working to achieve high strength levels. The
Canadian Track and Field Association has used E.M.S. and it has
been recommended for use by athletes, at Olympiads since 1972 by
The Medical Advisory Council to the Olympic Committee.
Our Personal Body Enhancers have been designed for use by both
men and women. These user friendly units take the hard work out
of exercise, still allowing you to firm, tone, build up muscle
and trim off those unwanted extra inches. You can do a complete
body workout or you can just work on those problem areas
(abdominals, love handles, thighs, buttocks etc.) You can
accomplish all of this in the privacy and comfort of your home or
office while reading, watching television or surfing the net.
F.A.Q.'S
Is E.MS. safe to use?
Yes, E.M.S. is safe to use and has been used by physicians,
physiotherapists and chiropractors for decades. In recent years
it has become widely used in health clubs, spas and salons for
firming and toning muscle. Our Healthtronic units operate on
batteries or with a universal AC adapter.
What are the benefits of E.M.S.?
E.M.S., while exercising muscles, also stimulates the circulation
in the treatment area. This enhanced blood flow tones up the skin
and clears away natural subcutaneous debris. The physical effect
is to make you feel relaxed, refreshed and invigorated for long
after each session. E.M.S. really does improve the condition and
performance of body muscles, and this means that you fell
healthier, springier and less prone to fatigue. In this respect,
E.M.S. gives similar benefits to those obtained by doing regular
sessions of press-ups, knee bends, and other floor exercises. Now
just sit back and let E.M.S. work you out while you surf the net!
Can I lose weight with E.M.S.?
You will lose inches not weight using E.M.S. It is a passive
exercise and as such will not burn calories. E.M.S. is designed
specifically for toning, firming, building and tightening slack
muscles. We have units that are designed to increase muscle
density, vascularity and hardness. Remember, no amount of dieting
can affect figure faults due to poor muscle tone. Many women and
men have been badly disappointed when their diet discipline fails
to improve their sagging rear view.
When will I see results?
You will feel better after your first few sessions. Visible
results should be seen within four to six weeks, depending on the
condition of your muscles and your body physiology when you start
your sessions. Daily 30-45 minute sessions are recommended for
the first 3-6 weeks and 2-3 sessions a week thereafter. Remember
E.M.S. does not burn calories so do not increase your calorie
intake.
How long will the results last?
E.M.S. results like any form of exercise are never permanent
unless you do something to maintain them. You should be able to
maintain your results with 2-3 sessions per week.
Is E.M.S. good for post pregnancy?
Yes, E.M.S. is specifically designed to tighten and tone slack
muscles (post natal bulges). CAUTION: Do not start treatments for
approximately 6 weeks after delivery. Very gentle contractions
are recommended to start, gradually building up intensity over
several treatments.
I have been dieting, will E.M.S. help me?
Yes, E.M.S. is ideal to firm and tone your muscles as your body
weight is reducing.
Is there any special training required to use E.M.S.?
No, Healthtronic E.M.S. units are user friendly and come complete
with a full instructional manual, including a pads placement
guide. However, if you have any questions call our trained
representatives.
I need to reduce my waist line... will E.M.S. help?
Yes. Many shapeless waistlines are blamed on being overweight
when the real problem is slack muscle tone. Poor muscle tone
allows the waist line to bulge outward and droop down onto the
pelvic girdle. Vigorous exercise of the abdominal muscles
literally pulls the body back into shape, firming up flabbiness
and tightening up unsightly bulges.
Will E.M.S. help my hips buttocks and tights?
Yes. Today women wear pants almost as often as skirts, therefore
a smooth line on hips and buttocks is essential for any fashion
conscious girl. Bulging hips and drooping buttocks can be
dramatically improved by E.M.S. exercise of the muscles that
control these body areas. "Jodhpur" thighs can ruin the
effect of the nicest clothes and slack muscle tone is often the
cause. Strong exercise of the long thigh muscles cause them to
tighten in and shorten in length, thus pulling the thigh contours
back into shape.
Can E.M.S. be used for body building?
Yes. E.M.S. is a valuable tool in body building training and has
a positive influence on muscle strength and muscle hypertrophy.
