2. STIMULATION OF SENSORY NERVES
Electrical impulses can also excite sensory nerve fibres to obtain analgesic effects or pain relief. Stimulating tactile sensory
nerve fibres blocks pain being transmitted to the nervous system. Stimulating another type of sensory fibre increases the
production of endorphins and therefore reduces pain. With pain relief programmes, electrostimulation can be used to treat
acute or chronic localised pain and muscle pain.
Caution: Do not use pain relief programmes for an extended period without medical advice.
BENEFITS OF ELECTROSTIMULATION
Electrostimulation is a very effective method for making muscles work:
• With a significant improvement in various muscular qualities
• With no cardiovascular or mental fatigue
• With limited stress exerted on joints and tendons. Electrostimulation thereby enables more muscular
work than voluntary activity.
For optimum results, Compex recommends supplementing your electrostimulation sessions with other commitments, such
as:
• Regular physical exercise
• A balanced and healthy diet
• A balanced lifestyle
