What Is Electrostimulation?

Electrostimulation refers to the application of electrical currents through the skin to stimulate nerves and/or muscles. The two most common modalities are:

TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation): Designed to reduce pain by blocking nerve signals.
FES/EMS (Functional Electrical Stimulation / Electrical Muscle Stimulation): Triggers muscle contractions to support strength, rehabilitation, and recovery.

With the right settings and frequency, these therapies can:

Relieve pain;
Re-educate muscles;
Improve blood circulation;
Reduce inflammation;
Accelerate post-exercise recovery.

Who Can Benefit from It?

Whether you’re recovering from injury, managing chronic pain, or improving athletic performance, electrotherapy can help:

Athletes: Improve muscle recovery and reduce soreness.
Chronic pain patients: Manage conditions like sciatica, arthritis, or fibromyalgia.
Post-surgical patients: Prevent muscle atrophy and stimulate recovery.
Clinics and professionals: Add modern, non-invasive treatments to their practice.

How Electrostimulation Works

Electrodes are placed on the skin to deliver mild electric currents. These currents either stimulate the nerves (TENS) to block pain or activate the muscles (FES/EMS) to cause contraction and improve function.

With adjustable intensity and frequency, users can fine-tune the treatment for:

Pain relief;
Muscle re-education;
Improved local circulation;
Injury prevention.
