Electical Muscle Stimulation (EMS)

MYOTECH HAND-HELD MUSCLE STIMULATOR
Muscle Stimulation on a Personal Scale

  A LOGICAL CHOICE - THE MYOTECH MUSCLE STIMULATOR …

The Myotech EMS is the answer for the treatment of a wide variety of muscle related problems.

Electrical Muscle Stimulation is not a new concept and it has been used for decades  It works by using very weak electrical impulses to contract and relax muscles. The Myotech EMS with its state of the art electronic design, will deliver an output suitable for effective muscular rehabilitation.

The Myotech EMS puts muscle stimulation all together in a package that is both easy to use and extremely patient friendly. Treatment regimens can be much better facilitated using the Myotech EMS both at home or at work.

INDICATIONS:

Relaxation of muscle spasms: Relax a “tense”, “tight” or spasmodic muscle. Common candidates for EMS include those in high stress situations who experience muscle tension in the upper back and neck areas, and those who suffer with chronic tension headaches.

Increase range of motion: Especially useful for those suffering from simple arthritic symptoms or “stiffness” in joints, muscle groups or back areas.

Reduce or prevent atrophy: Increase range of motion and response of muscles restricted from disuse or from atrophy from another cause. E.g: after surgery or after being in a cast.

Re-education of muscles: Muscle fibres lose their ability to contract if they are not adequately used. By repeating contractions of designated muscles, EMS will re-educate muscle fibres. This is beneficial for orthopaedic patients recovering from being in a cast or a splint, or bed-ridden patients who are unable to maintain their muscles.

Increase local blood circulation:  The "pumping" action of muscles contracting and relaxing improves blood circulation
