Neuromuscular Stimulation (NMS) is a technique that uses electrical impulses to stimulate muscles, causing them to contract. This method is often used in physical therapy to help patients recover from injuries, improve muscle strength, and enhance overall function. NMS can also be beneficial for athletes looking to improve performance or for individuals with conditions that affect muscle control.
The electrical impulses are delivered through electrodes placed on the skin over the targeted muscles. This non-invasive approach can help reduce pain, increase blood flow, and promote muscle re-education. NMS is commonly used in rehabilitation settings and can be tailored to meet individual needs.
