Foot MassagerNZ$36.50Approx USD$21.80Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS), also known as neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) or electromyostimulation, is the elicitation of muscle contraction using electric impulses. EMS has received an increasing amount of attention in the last few years for many health enhancing reasons. EMS Muscle stimulation works by activating the nerves and muscles in your body, improving muscle function. The stimulation increases the flow of blood helping reduce pain in your feet and invigorating your tired legs.; EMS stimulates healthy muscles in order to improve and facilitate muscle performance by applying electrical muscle stimulation to the soles of your feet through two pads. Your foot and calf muscles will contract and relax repeatedly which helps pump blood through your legs,improving blood flow and Circulation,also improving Lymphatic Drainage
The impulses are generated by the Electric EMS Foot Massager and are delivered through electrodes under the feet . The electrodes are generally pads that spread the frequencies across the sole of the feet. The impulses mimic the action potential that comes from the central nervous system, causing the muscles to contract. The use of EMS has been cited by sports scientists as a complementary technique for sports training, and published research is available on the results obtained Electrical Muscle Stimulation Helps Improve Blood Circulation EMS is in its early stages of being assessed as a means of cardiovascular exercise and a lot more research is needed. However, the results of the series of studies discussed above would appear to suggest that EMS may be an effective and novel method of producing cardiovascular exercise. It also appears safe.

It has promise in rendering training benefits in home-based programmes to those with chronic diseases like COPD, heart failure and spinal cord injury. In the obese, EMS-EX training could encourage participation in voluntary exercise. In the infirm elderly with poor muscle strength and exercise tolerance, EMS can help in rehabilitation especially by its effects on leg muscle strength. Finally, in the sedentary normal subject with poor motivation to exercise or those with mild joint or orthopedic problems limiting voluntary exercise, EMS training could be used for cardiovascular disease prevention. There will be several limitations to this promise but, for the moment, the prospects of EMS induced exercise training seem bright."
