INTRODUCTION
BENEFITS OF ELECTROSTIMULATION
Electrostimulation is a very effective way to make your muscles work:
• with significant improvement of different muscular qualities
• without cardio-vascular or mental fatigue
• with limited stress on the joints and tendons. Electrostimulation thus allows a
greater quantity of work by the muscles compared with voluntary activity.
To be effective, this work must involve the greatest possible number of muscular
fibers. The number of fibers working depends on the stimulation energy. The
maximum tolerable energy should therefore be used. The user controls this aspect
of stimulation. The higher the stimulation energy, the greater the number of
muscular fibers that are working and, therefore, the more significant the progress
achieved. To maximize results, DJO, LLC recommends that you complement your
electrostimulation sessions with other efforts, such as:
• regular exercise
• proper and healthy nutrition
