Functional Electrical Stimulation, more commonly called E Stim, is a dynamic technique that brings muscles back to life. The goal of E Stim is to restore or improve function and strength of the muscle by stimulating muscle movement and resetting muscle memory.

Therapy is conducted by placing a small adhesive on the skin, over a nerve or muscle. Slowly, and in low doses, a mild electrical current that mimics brain signals is transmitted into the adhesives and received by targeted nerves and muscles. The result? Muscle stimulation that results in contraction. Fully paralyzed muscles and partially paralyzed muscles alike can slowly awaken and begin to regenerate.

With time and repetition, E Stim helps weak muscles gain strength and develop better tone.

E Stim therapy is used during functional activities and can be used on all parts of the body.
