Passive fitness: who benefits from the myostimulation procedure

For those who want to restore muscle tone, for example, after childbirth, and even build muscle mass a little, but do without physical exertion, the myostimulation procedure is suitable. The essence of this procedure is that under the influence of pulsed currents, muscle fibers begin to contract involuntarily, and the muscles gradually become toned, even those that lie deep under the skin. Myostimulation causes the muscle fibers of the vascular walls to become more active, due to which the lymph flow increases, improves & nbsp; microcirculation, supply of tissues with oxygen.

What is the principle of myostimulation and how does it work

This is an electrotherapy method based on the action of an alternating electric current on the nerve endings. At the same time, muscle fibers begin to contract and stretch involuntarily. The peculiarity of the myostimulation procedure is that under certain modes of exposure, even deep-lying muscles are worked out, which is almost impossible to achieve with standard sports loads. But the main advantage of myostimulation over other hardware anti-aging procedures is that it activates the muscle fibers of the blood and lymphatic vessels, forcing them to vigorously remove fat decay products and excess fluid from the body. As a result, the muscles are strengthened, the walls of blood vessels become more elastic, the work of many organs and systems improves due to the activation of blood circulation, the volume of adipose tissue decreases,

How is myostimulation performed and to whom it is contraindicated

Before starting the procedure, a conductive gel is applied to the skin, which is designed to protect it from possible burns. Electrodes are applied to the muscles of the treated area in the region of the motor points of the nerves. Depending on which muscles need to be worked out, the doctor chooses the strength of the current, the frequency of the pulses, their duration and amplitude. 15-20 treatments are usually required to achieve the expected effect, it is best to administer them 2-3 times a week.
