EMS, or electrical muscle stimulation, is a popular fitness and recovery tool that uses electrical current to stimulate muscles. While EMS has many benefits, it is possible to overuse it, which can lead to negative side effects.
When used correctly, EMS can help improve muscle strength, endurance and size. It can also help speed up recovery from injuries and reduce pain. However, if EMS is used too often or for too long, it can start to have the opposite effect.
Too much EMS can lead to muscle fatigue and overtraining, which can decrease performance and increase the risk of injury. It can also cause skin irritation and numbness.
If you are new to EMS or are unsure about how to use it properly, be sure to consult with a qualified trainer or therapist before starting any treatments.
