What is electrical stimulation (E-Stim)
Electrical stimulation (e-stim) is an innovative technique based on the use of electrical impulses that mimic the effect of natural signals from the nervous system. These currents are applied to muscles or nerves to improve their function.
E-stim recovery therapy aims to activate the muscles by sending signals that stimulate them to contract. This process improves blood circulation, which contributes to a rapid recovery of the injured muscles. By training the muscles to respond to natural shortening signals, E-Stim can also support the recovery process after a stroke.
The technique relieves pain by emitting electrical signals that block the pain receptors in the nervous system and thus prevent them from being transmitted to the brain.
What are the main types of electrostimulation?
The two most important forms of electrical stimulation are transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and the Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS)..

TENS is suitable for the treatment of both chronic and acute pain. It is administered by attaching electrodes to the skin in the area of pain, where the signals block or reduce the transmission of pain to the brain.
EMS uses a stronger current than TENS to stimulate the muscles to contract. This type of stimulation is useful for improving muscle strength and functionality.
