EMSculpt for Athletic Performance
How does EMSculpt enhance athletic performance?
EMSculpt stimulates muscle contractions at a higher intensity than can be achieved through any voluntary movement/exercise. These contractions can help to improve muscle strength, endurance, and power.
EMSculpt can also help target specific muscle groups important for athletic performance, e.g. functional core training using EMS for stability (during weight lifting etc.).
As such, using EMS as an adjunctive modality during rehabilitation from an injury can significantly benefit and may expedite the process of return to play.
How can EMSculpt benefit athletes?
EMSculpt can help athletes to improve their overall athletic performance by:
Improving muscle strength and power
EMSculpt can help improve muscle strength and power, making lifting heavier weights or performing explosive movements easier.
Increasing muscle endurance
EMSculpt can help improve muscle endurance, allowing athletes to perform at a higher intensity for extended periods.
Enhancing muscle recovery
EMSculpt can help to enhance muscle recovery by increasing blood flow and reducing inflammation.
Reducing the risk of injury/re-injury and expediting the “return to play” process
By improving muscle strength and endurance, EMSculpt can help to reduce the risk of injury during training or competition. Using EMS to strengthen specific muscle groups can significantly increase generalised and movement-specific stability, thus accelerating the return to play process post-injury.
How many EMSculpt treatments are needed for athletic performance?
The number of EMSculpt treatments needed to achieve optimal athletic performance may vary depending on individual factors such as age, body type, and training goals.
Typically, a series of 6-10 treatments at a frequency of 3 times per week for the first four weeks of treatment is recommended. Maintained by 1-2 times per week for the following four weeks may be necessary to achieve the results.
