Whole-Body EMS
A Comprehensive Training Method for Health & Wellbeing
Whole-Body EMS
Whole-Body Electromyostimulation
Whole-Body Electromyostimulation (WB-EMS) is an evidence-based wholebody training method that combines the electric activation of muscle fibers with simple and targeted bodyweight exercises. Using FDA cleared equipment, it is carried out under the guidance and instruction of a trained supervisor with a clearly defined focus on prevention and therapy.
The electrodes are woven into a fabric vest-belt-system. These are worn over a special functional garment. The emitted electrical pulses are lowfrequency, triggering a brief muscle contraction. With repeated delivery of these electrical impulses, they cause extensive activation in the corresponding muscle fibers. In this way, the deep back muscles and large muscle groups are also intensively trained at the same time.
The gentle impact on the joints coupled with the significant assistance from the impulses makes WB-EMS an optimal choice for individuals who are grappling with motivation, find themselves less active due to advanced age, or facing health barriers that render conventional exercise and treatment methods overly challenging.
Doing Whole-Body EMS consistently once a week actually shows positive effects on muscular parameters, but much more importantly on quality of life and overall health.

"Once weekly physical training with WB-EMS yielded significantly greater improvements in important biomarkers of cardiovascular, metabolic, and biomechanical health compared to conventional training alone in healthy subjects. Thus WB-EMS may provide a timeefficient form of physical training that could help enhance the widespread and regular uptake of physical activity, particularly in those unable or unwilling to exercise conventionally."

The study titled "Physical Training Augmented With Whole Body Electronic Muscle Stimulation Is Superior To Conventional Training Alone In Healthy Subjects, A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial" was conducted by Jaskanwal D. Sara (Jas), MBChB Cardiology Fellow and Clinical Investigator at the Mayo Clinic , with miha bodytec devices and published at the American Heart Association Annual Meeting in Chicago, November 5-7, 2022.
