Faradic

Electro Muscle Stimulation (EMS)

Our Faradic Machine is a Health Technologies Professional Series EMS Model 30P. Faradics is electromuscular stimulation by placing pads directly over specific muscle groups. The low frequency milli-amperage alternating current is delivered in a series of short pulses of a few milliseconds causes visible muscle contractions.

This Faradics program tones and improves musculature with the added advantage of blood flow stimulation and weight loss.

Your needs are met with precision by varying the current intensity, pulse length and rest period between muscle contractions which stimulates the effects of isometric exercises.

Typically a 20 minute pad application on your stomach is the equivalent of 250 to 300 proper/perfect sit-ups.

Of note is also the usefulness for facial as well as body firming. However, there is no cardiovascular component to this treatment which can be useful amongst cardiac sufferers

Faradic machine - Introduction

Faradic

Faradic muscle stimulation is  actually a form of massage that uses electricity to stimulate your muscles. The process is called faradic because an electrical current is used to generate muscle contractions, which can cause them to loosen up over time.

Faradic Treatment

Faradic treatment is a type of electrotherapy that uses electrical therapy to stimulate the muscles and help them contract. Faradic slimming is a form of faradic treatment designed to provide quick results for those who want to reduce their weight without surgery.

The benefits of faradic are:

  • It causes the muscles in your body to contract, which helps you burn fat much faster than any other exercise could do by itself.
  • It's very fast acting and effective right away, even if you haven't exercised before at all!

How does this kind of massage work?

The faradic machine delivers a mild electrical current to your muscles, which stimulates the muscles and causes them to contract. This contraction results in muscle relaxation and release of tension, allowing your muscles to relax and recover. The treatment is painless and safe for all ages.

Are the movements natural or do they feel robotic?

The movements are completely natural, but the machine is doing all of the work. You don't need to do anything other than sit down, relax and let it do its job.

The machine itself is completely safe; you can feel nothing but the gentle pressure of a massage or pulse as it's applied. You can barely even hear it running! And yet there's no doubt that this new invention is working hard on your body's muscles—and that feels amazing!

Is it painful?

You may be wondering, “Is it painful?” The answer is no. Faradism feels like a gentle massage and you can control the amount of current being applied by using the knob on the faradic device. If you find that too much current is being used (or if you are sensitive to electricity), simply turn down or off the current until you feel comfortable.

Faradic massage uses electricity to stimulate your muscles.

Faradic treatment uses electricity to stimulate muscles. It's a type of massage that's also known as galvanic stimulation, electrotherapy, and faradic slimming. In the last few years it has become quite popular because it can help you lose weight (by stimulating muscle cells).

It's not just for losing weight—faradic treatment can also treat pain or muscle spasms in your body by relaxing tense muscles and stimulating blood flow. You may have received faradic treatments at a massage parlor or spa before; they're often used when people get massages there because they feel great!

Conclusion

You might want to try faradic massage if you’re looking for a noninvasive way to relax your muscles and relieve pain. It can also help increase blood flow throughout the body, which can be beneficial if you have certain medical conditions like migraines or heart disease.
