What is it and does it work? Yes, electrostimulation works and
is a method recognized by the medical world. Electrostimulation
is now an integral part of physiotherapy and pain management
protocols. It has been a technique used by physical therapists
for many years. Electrostimulation is not a miraculous
technique, it respects how your body works. The principle of
electrostimulation is very simple and precisely reproduces the
processes that occur when our brain orders muscles to contract.
When we decide to contract a muscle, our brain sends a signal in
the form of an electric current that travels at high speed along
the nerve fibers up to the muscle which reacts by contracting.
In the case of electrostimulation, excitation occurs directly on
the motor nerve using electrical pulses perfectly controlled to
guarantee effectiveness, safety and comfort in use. In fact,
muscles cannot tell the difference between a voluntary
contraction (triggered by the brain) and an electrically induced
contraction: the work done
