Boost Muscle Recovery & Endurance with EMS Machine Stimulator

Eager to see faster results from your training? Putting in the effort day after day and ready to see the results? Looking for a way to make your hard work pay off without constant soreness?

EMS (electrical muscle stimulation) machines can help optimise muscle health, including recovery from injury and increasing endurance. They are usually used by physiotherapists to treat sports injuries, as well as athletes, body builders and sports people to help tone and strengthen muscles, tendons and tissue as part of an overall fitness routine.

The electrical impulses from the muscle stimulator can mimic the electrical signals sent from the brain to help engage the muscles to bring benefits such as building lean muscle mass and recovery.

EMS machine can be safely used by healthy and unhealthy individuals looking to jumpstart their health.

What is an EMS Machine?

An electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) machine also known as muscle stimulator, uses electrical impulses to help prepare, engage and activate the targeted muscles. EMS machines are handheld devices with attachments and gel pads. The gel pads can be stuck onto the skin to help deliver electrical impulses through the skin and to the muscles.

How do EMS machines work?

The muscles in our body contract and relax to either move or stop our moving body parts. Electrical signals are sent from the brain and spinal cord to the nerves and muscles. These signals, called “action potentials”, determine whether the muscles contract. When this occurs, the muscles begin to twitch and/or tense.

Electrical muscle stimulators or EMS machines help deliver electric current to the nerves. The electrical current is delivered through the skin through gel pads that are connected to the EMS machine. If the current reaching the muscle is large enough, it will cause an “action potential”. When this occurs, the muscle will contract and tense.

The current size is measured in milliamps (mA) and can be adjusted on the EMS machine. Some machines have settings that have been pre-selected. Caremax 2.0 Pro has the highest power output (120mA) EMS machine in Australia.

What is an EMS machine good for?

EMS machines have been tested for multiple purposes, including preventing muscle loss, maintaining muscle size, strengthening, rehabilitation, and enhancing tone and fat loss.

Using a muscle stimulator can also benefit healthy individuals aiming to become fitter and healthier. It’s an excellent way to complement training and exercise, helping to improve strength, power, and speed.

How to use an EMS machine muscle stimulator?

EMS should be used before training or exercise. Before using the EMS machine, make sure you know which muscles you are targeting. If you have a combination unit, make sure that you specifically select the EMS setting. Before selecting your desired settings, place the gel pads over your chosen body part.

Once you’re ready, follow the instructions in your user guide to start the treatment. You should feel your muscles contract once you have switched it on.

FAQ

Product Questions

What’s difference between TENS and EMS machine?

Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and EMS machines may appear very similar due to their outward appearance. Both are handheld devices that deliver electrical current through the attached gel pads. There are also combination units that have both TENS and EMS settings.

However, TENS and EMS machines are used for different purposes [1]. An electrical muscle stimulator (EMS) is mainly used to help activate and jumpstart muscles. However, a TENS machine is primarily used to help with general nerve and muscle pain relief. These machines send unique electrical signals to the nerves to achieve the desired effect.

Do EMS machines build muscle?

Using an EMS machine can enhance your muscle strength and overall health when paired with regular strength training and exercise.

It’s especially helpful for rebuilding muscle mass if you’ve been injured or haven't been active for a while.

EMS can also boost muscle growth in healthy, active people. When used alongside exercise, it helps your muscles contract more effectively, making you stronger, faster, and aiding in muscle size increase.

How often can you use EMS machine muscle stimluator?

Typically, there is no specific limit on how often to use the EMS machine as long as the user is mindful of uncommon side effects (e.g. skin irritation, pain, etc.). Those recovering (e.g. after surgery or injury) may need more frequent EMS treatment than healthy individuals. Depending on the desired outcome, EMS can be effectively used anywhere between twice a day to twice a week. Each session should not be longer than 20 minutes.

Is EMS machine effective for weight loss?

Electrical muscle stimulation may be effective for weight loss. EMS can help increase the amount of energy and calories burnt. Using EMS can help improve muscle metabolism, increase blood and prime the body for a more intense workout.

For the best weight loss results, combine EMS with healthy lifestyle habits like regular exercise and a balanced diet. EMS should complement—not replace—physical activity and proper nutrition.

Are EMS machine safe?

Using your EMS machine is generally safe. Although there are certain precautions you should be aware of before using EMS, including:

Poor blood flow (e.g., peripheral vascular disease)
Children under three years old
Over areas with poor sensation and feeling
Over broken skin (e.g., wound, scar tissues, cuts, etc.)
If you have metal implants or electrical devices (e.g., pacemakers)
Those with sensitive skin or reactions to the gel pads
Those with heart conduction problems (e.g., atrial fibrillation, arrhythmias, etc.)
Those with autonomic dysreflexia

If any of these precautions are relevant or have any other concerns, please get in touch with your doctor to ensure that the EMS machine is safe for you

How long should you use EMS machine?

The most effective duration of EMS will depend on your goals. You will need to make two considerations when using electrical muscle stimulation: the session duration and how long the machine is off or on.

For instance, those recovering from knee surgery will help prevent muscle wastage when used for 15 minutes (15 seconds on and 45 seconds off) . In comparison, healthy individuals may use EMS for 18 minutes (4 seconds on and 0.75 seconds off) to develop muscle mass.To make things easier, the CareMax 2.0 Pro EMS machine comes with built-in programs tailored to different needs.

Are there any side effects?

EMS machines are generally safe to use. To minimise side effects, be aware of the precautions (listed above) and speak to your doctor beforehand. While uncommon, there are specific side effects associated with electrical muscle stimulation, including:

Skin irritation (e.g., rashes, redness, etc.)

Muscle pain
Spasms
Dizziness
Tingling sensations

In rare occasions, especially when the treatment is overly strong or prolonged, electrical muscle stimulation can cause muscle damage. Too much stimulation of the muscle fibres can overstress the body’s soft tissue. This may increase the risk of pain and injury.
