PASSIVE GYMNASTICS
Electrostimulation is the application of electrical currents, simulating the electrical impulse sent by the nervous system to the muscle in order for it to perform the contraction. This stimulation is done by applying electrodes or plates over the surface of the muscle by placing the motor trigger in order to ensure that the muscle contracts.
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS OF ELECTROSTIMULATION
- Painful processes of muscular and nervous origin (neuritis, myalgia, joint pain)
- Hypotonic Muscles
- Muscle atrophy
- Rehabilitation of neuromuscular coordination
- Spinal cord injuries Facial Palsy and body paralysis
COSMETIC INDICATIONS OF THE ELECTROSTIMULATION
- Muscle Reaffirmation
- Tone Increase and skin elasticity
- Increase in muscle mass
- Avoids flaccidity secondary to thinning processes
- It helps in the process of eliminating cellulite
- Facial and body lymphatic drainage
CONTRAINDICATIONS
