Slim Wave uses EMS (electro muscle stimulation) technology. EMS enables natural exercise safely and effortlessly to create slenderness, inch loss, firmness and strength. The treatment also stimulates the body’s natural fat burning and toning process helping to give you a body that is not only lean and firm but healthy too!
With Slim Wave we can target specific areas of the body (working several areas at one time) to get the results that you want. The stimulation from the electrical current also increases circulation of the skin. Thereby improving texture and tone as well as reducing the appearance of cellulite.
The Slimwave treatment has the same effect as a full session with a trainer. One hour of electro-therapy is like doing 600 sit ups, 600 push-ups and 600 leg lifts together. Our 45-minute session can burn up to a 1000 calories! When used in combination a healthy diet, this program can be exceptionally effective.
The stimulation through electrodes will boost lymphatic drainage and circulation, which is vital for breaking down fat deposits, the reduction of excess fluids and flushing out toxins. This combination results in healthier looking, vibrant skin. Slimwave can, over time break down the trapped fibrous barrier and help drain it away, returning the elasticity to the skin and tissue that has been affected.
There is no strain on your joints as you don’t use any weights during your workout. The intensity of a Slimwave treatment is regulated through electro stimulation, whereas conventional weight training is carried out by heavy weights or high impact running or jumping which can cause strain and injury if you don’t maintain the correct posture and coordination. Slimwave is not dependent on weights or high impact training, so the risks of strain and injury are therefore greatly reduced which makes Slimwave is the ideal workout for older people or people with joint problems and injuries.
Body sculpting is a procedure that alters the shape of the human body. It includes procedures that eliminate or reduce excess skin and fat that remains after previously obese individuals have lost a significant amount of weight, in a variety of places including the torso, upper arms, chest, and thighs.Through intensive stimulation of the muscles, your body looks more shaped and toned, your skin healthier and your physical appearance firmer and toned.
CLEVERLY DESIGNED SYSTEM
What is truly impressive about the Slimwave treatment is that it targets specific body areas as it accelerates weight loss. The cleverly designed programs keeps the skin toned and helps to prevent sagging during the process. It is a powerful, safe, painless alternative to drugs or surgery that allows you to achieve results rapidly with no downtime. The soothing electro-stimulation treatment is beneficial to all muscle groups because as it breaks up fat and speeds up the metabolism, it also tones and firms areas like the abdominal muscles, glutes, legs, thighs, knees, “love handles or muffin tops” and arms.
REHABILITATION
Electronic muscle stimulation is an excellent training companion for bodybuilders and elite athletes alike. There are four main uses for EMS in sport training. First, for the enhancement of maximum strength; second, as a means of injury recovery; third, as a muscle rehabilitation tool; and fourth, as a motor learning and muscle recruitment tool.
An EMS stimulus fires all the motor neurons in the treated area simultaneously, creating an uncoordinated contraction, which is primarily isometric in nature. Voluntary muscular contractions, on the other hand, roll through the muscle in a wave to generate a coordinated, directed force. The muscle tension produced in a maximal EMS contraction can be up to 30% higher than a maximal voluntary contraction.
INJURY RECOVERY WITH EMS
Low-intensity exercise has a positive effect not only on muscle recovery from high intensity work but on the high intensity work itself. While high intensity exercise is anti- circulatory as it pumps up the muscles (restricting blood flow), low intensity exercise promotes circulation, which aids in nutrient transfer and hastens muscle recovery.
Exercise of a low enough intensity will not lead to detrimental fiber type changes. In fact, the enhanced capillary density it creates, leads to precisely the opposite effect! The enhanced capillary density raises the temperature around the motor neurons, lowering electrical resistance, allowing more fiber to take on the characteristics of fast-twitch fiber in response to high intensity work.
EMS FOR MUSCLE REHABILITATION
EMS can play a role in the muscle rehabilitation of a variety of injuries. It is used extensively in clinics to treat the VMO (vastus medialis oblique) with knee cases. However, its value in the muscle rehabilitation of hamstring injuries is poorly understood and under appreciated. The selection of isokenetic machines over EMS contributes to a lengthening of injury downtime as the fluid resistance on which these machines rely hits the muscle all at once, causing muscle shortening and irritation. Often, effective muscle rehabilitation treatment including EMS can have the athlete back in action within ten days.

ADDED BENEFITS OF EMS
There are many benefits to this kind of muscle recovery therapy. To start, it can help reduce edema (swelling) and expedite the healing process of injured or damaged tissue. Electric muscle stimulation can also help reduce chronic pain.
