What is Electrical Muscle Stimulation?
Electric muscle stimulation uses electrical impulses to cause muscles to contract, resulting in stronger, more toned muscles. Your brain sends an electric signal to your muscles, and they contract in response. Nuzuna Technology replicates this process, but at a higher intensity. Our EMS device sends electronic pulses to your motor nerves, causing many more muscles fibers to contract than possible during your regular workout.
We’ve taken the proven concept of neuromuscular electric stimulation (NES, or NMES) and created a lightweight, portable smart EMS device that you can use to strengthen, build and relax muscles–all in one. Neuromuscular electric stimulation is a procedure where small electric impulses are used to stimulate, or excite muscles that are weak or paralyzed. Neuromuscular electric stimulation is a type of medical treatment and physical therapy that helps increase blood circulation in targeted muscles, strengthen and re-train those muscles, lessen muscle spasms, and increase a patient’s range of motion.
What are the Benefits of Electric Muscle Stimulation?
Many of the world’s top athletes still use electrical muscle stimulation to enhance their training. But now more than ever, electric muscle stimulation is available to a wider, more mainstream audience. Using an EMS device like Nuzuna technology products can accelerate your fitness performance, build muscle strength and strength endurance, and recover faster and more fully without a trip to the doctor, physical therapist, or even the gym. Electrical muscle stimulation of this type can be used easily and discreetly on-the-go or in the comfort of your own home. Our EMS device is clinically proven, FDA cleared and safe for weekly use.
Electrical muscle stimulation helps:
- Improve muscle performance
- Strengthen muscles
- Increase muscle growth
- Increase local blood circulation
- Relax muscles
- Reduce muscle soreness
- Prevent muscle atrophy
- Tone muscles
- Improve bone density
- Reduce incontinence problems
- Reduce cellulite
Electrical muscle stimulation is meant to be paired with your training routines and workout programs to enhance fitness performance, and support muscle recovery in between workouts or post workout. When correctly and consistently integrated into your workout routine, electric muscle stimulation helps support your fitness journey at all stages and at any fitness level.
With our 9-32 preset programs (quantity depends on our App version-home/pro/poAthlet/rehab) and customizable settings, you can access highly effective electric muscle stimulation designed to help you run faster, jump higher and go longer than you’ve ever experienced in your traditional workout.
There is an increasingly popular fitness trend sweeping the nation and quickly being adopted across the globe: electrical muscle stimulation for workouts or fitness recovery. Interestingly, EMS technology has been around for decades. Many doctors and physical therapists have used electric muscle stimulation treatments to help top athletes or patients in recovery. But up until now, EMS equipment has been bulky, expensive, and difficult to harness the power of electrical muscle stimulation at home.
Now that EMS workouts are gaining in popularity, the fitness industry is gearing up to fill the demand for portable EMS devices. What’s exciting is that Nuzuna Technology products is the only lightweight, portable EMS device designed for regular use at home or at the gym and also a special edition for rehab. Nuzuna Technology is all science and technology. Our electric muscle stimulator is completely wireless and pairs with our elegant mobile app for pre-set fitness, training and rehab programs in the palm of your hand. Nuzuna Technology is FDA cleared, clinically proven and backed by scientific research.
These studies highlight the growing body of research supporting the use of EMS in rehabilitation, showing its effectiveness across various conditions from orthopedic to neurological recovery.
