Neuromuscular Stimulation

Neuromuscular stimulation (NMS) is a technique that uses electrical signals to stimulate muscles, helping them contract and relax. This process can assist in rehabilitation after injury, improve muscle strength, and enhance athletic performance. NMS can also help reduce muscle atrophy in individuals who are unable to move due to surgery or illness. Devices used for NMS typically involve electrodes placed on the skin overlying the muscles, delivering safe electrical impulses. This method is beneficial not only in physical therapy but also in medical settings to aid recovery and improve overall muscle function.
