Pulses: forced contraction of a muscle that switched off

/ Method

What it is

What it is

Pulses are delivered through electrodes on the skin, and the muscle contracts by itself. This is not a replacement for training but a way to restore control of the muscle.

A detail worth knowing

After surgery or weeks in a cast the brain seems to “forget” the way to the muscle. Stimulation reminds it of that path — and after that you can contract it consciously.

What it feels like

Tingling, then a visible muscle contraction. We build the intensity up gradually and together with you.

No pain

Discomfort is possible, sharp pain should not be.

  • Tingling, then a visible muscle contraction. We build the intensity up gradually and together with you.
  • Discomfort is possible, sharp pain should not be.
  • we set the intensity together — if it is unpleasant, we lower it
  • right after the session you can work with your body

/ How long

How long
it takes

Electrical stimulation only works through regularity: the muscle remembers the work through repetition, not from one session.

15–30 minutes

The session itself

Electrodes on the muscle, the device delivers pulses. You feel the contraction — from light to noticeable.

Even daily

How often you can do it

There are no limits. The minimum that makes sense is twice a week.

The course

How many in total

This is not a one-off procedure: the brain-to-muscle connection is restored through repetition. We name the number after the examination.

Stimulation does not replace training — it brings the muscle back into work so that training becomes possible at all.

/ When we prescribe it

When EMS makes sense

  • after knee surgery, when the quadriceps does not switch on
  • after a cast comes off, when the muscle has visibly wasted
  • weak control of a muscle while doing an exercise
  • pain that makes it impossible to load the area on your own for now
  • the first weeks of rehabilitation, to avoid losing muscle mass

Stimulation is a bridge to exercise, not a substitute for it. As soon as the muscle responds, we move on to work. When it is not needed If you feel and contract the muscle well on your own, the device adds nothing.

/ Contraindications

When EMS is not used

  • a pacemaker and other implanted electronic devices
  • pregnancy
  • epilepsy
  • thrombosis or a suspicion of it
  • damaged skin, rashes or wounds in the electrode area
  • the heart area, the front of the neck (carotid sinuses)
  • cancer
  • The final decision is up to the physical therapist. At the assessment we ask about everything that could be a contraindication.

Tell us about it at the assessment. It changes the choice of method — we will pick another one that works in your case.

/ Questions and answers

Frequent questions

Does this replace training?+
No. Stimulation switches the muscle on, but strength and control come only from your own work. We use it as a stage, not as a “lose weight lying down” service.
Does it hurt?+
Noticeable, but not painful. We build the intensity up gradually, guided by you.
Can I do it at home with my own device?+
You can, if the therapist has shown you where to put the electrodes and in what mode. Doing it blind is not a good idea.
How many sessions?+
Usually a few weeks alongside your sessions, at least twice a week, and daily if needed. A benchmark, not a rule: we work until the muscle starts switching on by itself, and that is exactly what we watch for.
