How Does EMS Make You Feel

The electrical impulses can cause a little tingling feeling at initially. The impulses imitate the signals that your nervous system sends out, causing your muscles to contract. During your 10- to 20-minute treatment, as your body adjusts to the muscular excitation, the intensity of the treatment may be gently raised for the best benefit.
