FMS uses electro-magnetic induction to directly activate motor neurons. Contraction of the muscles occurs when the neutron cell is depolarised. Compared to the traditionally employed electrical muscle stimulation, FMS is more comfortable and does not require direct skin contact. Furthermore, as FMS uses magnetic waves, it is able to reach deep muscle groups. This allows for enhanced treatment areas and better results.

Of course, one should maintain a healthy and active lifestyle in order to see the best results. It is also important for individuals to keep their body weight in an ideal range.

This therapy may be used as a rehabilitation for individuals with sports injuries. It should then be complemented by physiotherapy for affected areas. Speak to your physiotherapist before going for the muscle sculpting treatment.
