After the age of 30, inactive individuals can lose as much as 3-8% of muscle mass per decade. To reverse this process one can do
- Strength and resistance training
- Stimulate the muscle with bio-electrical stimulation or electromagnetic stimulation
Advantages of Bio-electrical muscle stimulation (BEMS)
- BEMS contracts muscles without exercising
- Increase muscle strength and range of motion
- Offset the effects of disuse
- Sculpt muscle
Muscle sculpting with the Bio-electrical muscle stimulation (BEMS)
Bio-electrical muscle stimulation (BEMS) strengthen and sculpt muscles. It offers personalised treatments based on patient’s fitness, shape and goals. Bio-electrical muscle stimulation (BEMS) administers multidirectional stimulation (MDS) options to muscles and these treatment options are designed to stimulate different workouts such as twisting, squat and crunch actions.
Bio-electrical muscle stimulation (BEMS) has several advantages compared to other muscle sculpting machines:
- It administers multidirectional electrical currents (Multi-Directional Stimulation MDS) to stimulate muscle groups.
- It can stimulate up to 8 body areas simultaneously.
- Bio-electrical muscle stimulation (BEMS) can be set to stimulate muscles in sequence of 3 operational modes (Prep, Tone or Sculpt).
- The intensity for each operational mode can be independently adjustable for each muscle group.
- Results are seen after 2 weeks
Areas that can benefit from the Bio-electrical muscle stimulation (BEMS) treatment
- Abdominal muscles
- Buttock muscles
- Thigh and calf muscles
- Arm muscles
- Low back muscles
The Bio-electrical muscle stimulation (BEMS) muscle sculpting procedure
- Handpieces are placed on the areas to be treated
- Prep tone treatment: starts to create a twisting motion to warm up, stretch the muscles and slowly build up tolerance to muscle contractions
- Tone mode treatment is next: to contract muscle, hold them to the point of exhaustion and then relaxes them to increase strength and enhance endurance.
- Followed by sculpt mode treatment: where fast deep sequential contractions of muscles are started to build muscle mass and increase basal metabolic rate
- Treatments are repeated twice a week for 2 weeks
