What is EMS?

Electro Muscle Stimulation (EMS) therapy is a ground breaking technique designed to help restore motor function in individuals affected by paralysis due to spinal cord injuries (SCI) or strokes.

By applying controlled electrical discharges to muscles, EMS can induce functional movements, enabling tasks such as grasping, standing, and walking.

How EMS Works

EMS uses electrical currents to stimulate muscle contractions, producing functional movements. Initially developed in the 1960s, this technology has evolved significantly, becoming a crucial therapeutic tool in neurorehabilitation. The therapy leverages neuroplasticity, the nervous system’s ability to reorganize itself, to help patients regain motor functions.

Applications in Rehabilitation

EMS is particularly beneficial for stroke and SCI patients. Stroke, a leading cause of disability, often results in hemiplegia, impairing movement on one side of the body. SCI, on the other hand, disrupts communication between the brain and body, leading to varying degrees of paralysis depending on the injury’s location.

Key Benefits

Restores Functional Movements: Enables patients to perform daily tasks such as grasping and walking.

Improves Muscle Strength: Enhances muscle function and reduces atrophy.

Reduces Spasticity: Alleviates muscle stiffness and improves range of motion.

Promotes Neuroplasticity: Facilitates the nervous system’s ability to adapt and recover.

Enhances Independence: Increases patients’ ability to perform activities of daily living independently.

How we do it at Fittech ?

At FitTech Studios, we utilize state-of-the-art Electro Muscle Stimulation (EMS) suits to assist individuals in regaining movement and functionality after a stroke or injury. Our innovative EMS technology provides targeted rehabilitation, ensuring effective and efficient recovery.

EMS suits work by delivering controlled electrical impulses to specific muscle groups. This targeted stimulation helps activate and strengthen muscles that may have weakened due to injury or lack of use. By focusing on precise muscle activation, EMS therapy aids in restoring essential functional movements, such as grasping objects and walking.

Additionally, EMS therapy helps alleviate muscle stiffness and improve range of motion, making movements smoother and more controlled. This is particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing spasticity, a common issue after a stroke or injury.

The repeated stimulation provided by EMS suits also facilitates the nervous system’s ability to adapt and recover, promoting better coordination and motor skills. This aspect of neuroplasticity is crucial for long-term recovery and overall improvement in physical abilities.

At FitTech Studios, our expert team combines advanced EMS technology with personalized care to support your rehabilitation journey. Experience the benefits of EMS therapy and take a significant step towards restoring your movement and reclaiming your life.

Future Prospects

The future of EMS looks promising, with potential integrations with brain-computer interfaces and wearable technology, making it more effective and accessible.

As the aging population grows, advancements in EMS will likely lead to broader adoption and improved outcomes for individuals with paralysis.

EMS therapy represents a significant advancement in the rehabilitation of motor function following spinal cord injury and stroke. By harnessing the power of electrical stimulation and neuroplasticity, this therapy offers hope and improved quality of life for many individuals.

Are you experiencing ongoing back, neck and shoulder pain from sitting at your desk for too long?

Maybe your office desk isn’t set up correctly? Or you aren’t taking enough regular breaks?

Whatever it may be, the use of ergonomics can increase your comfortability at work allowing you to feel more productive.

What is Ergonomics?

In simple terms, ergonomics uses a range of scientific principles to keep yourself healthy, safe, and improve overall wellbeing within a work environment. 

The topic of Ergonomics is a crucial concept we should all become familiar with as it can enhance your workplace productivity as well as reduce pain which may lead to injury. 

The most common workplace injuries arise primarily from the neck, back and shoulders. Did you know that 15-34% of injuries result from ongoing neck pain among office-based jobs? Back pain also accounts for 23-38% followed by 51.6% of shoulder injuries. These office-based workplace injuries are more common than you think.

But how can people get injured so easily working office-based jobs you may be wondering?

In fact, there are numerous potential risk factors individuals aren’t aware of which may be leading to these common injuries.

These risk factors include repetition and pace of work, sustained posture with no breaks, force of movements, environmental factors, poor social/workplace support, stress and limited physical activity levels etc.

Such risk factors may be contributing to these workplace injuries which are causing you pain/discomfort, injury and inhibiting your well being. 

Sick of experiencing this ongoing pain and discomfort? 

Try considering your desk space and how it is set up. A few key questions to ask yourself is do I have a comfortable chair with correct back and arm support? Are my feet aligned correctly on the floor? Is my chair and desk aligned in a comfortable position where I don’t find myself hunched over or looking down at the screen? These questions can often underpin the issues within our postural alignment. 

Here is the ultimate guide to follow to ensure proper sitting posture and distance between you and the computer:

1. Relax your shoulders 
2. Ensure your office chair has back and arm support 
3. Thighs should be horizontal 
4. Feet parallel and flat on the floor beneath 
5. You should be positioned roughly 18-24 degrees away from the computer screen

Prevent Pain with Dynamic Sitting

Did you know that dynamic sitting techniques have been proven beneficial in preventing pain and discomfort within the spine and discs?

Whilst sitting in your office-based job it is helpful to roll your neck a few times in a circular motion, shift your leg positions to whatever is comfortable for you, circle your hips and pelvis, stretch your arms and roll your feet in circles. 

Why am I still experiencing pain and discomfort even with my desk set up correctly? 

This is probably because you aren’t having enough if not any regular breaks. Taking active breaks throughout your work day can have a significantly positive effect on your posture.

These breaks should be taken when needed or every 20-40 mins. I bet you didn’t know that a break as little as 30 secs can assist in general discomfort and a further 1.5-2 min reducing symptoms of pain.

For maximal benefits, 5-10 min breaks are required. This can not only assist with pain and discomfort, but ensure you are maintaining a work life balance and enhancing your wellbeing. 

What should you expect?

If you implement this guide consistently every day combined with quality breaks you should expect to get relief and feel better within days.

The key here is consistency.

You need to do this all the time in order to take care of your body, and in return it will take care of you.

In the quest for muscle growth and enhanced performance, traditional resistance exercises have long been the go-to method. However, recent research has uncovered the promising benefits of a cutting-edge approach: electrical muscle stimulation (EMS). Unlike traditional methods that rely on voluntary muscle contractions, EMS utilizes pulsed currents to stimulate muscle nerves, potentially leading to improved protein synthesis and muscle mass growth.

Studies by Qin et al. (2022) have shown that EMS can trigger muscle contractions and adaptations that mimic those induced by voluntary maximal efforts. This novel approach, delivered through devices developed in recent years, has emerged as a time-saving complement to traditional training methods. By delivering electrical impulses to target muscles, EMS elicits involuntary contractions, activates muscle fibers, and enhances motor unit recruitment, all contributing to exercise-like effects.

EMS: Beyond Muscle Activation Benefits

The benefits of EMS extend beyond muscle activation. Repeated EMS sessions have been associated with increased capillary flexibility, improved blood flow, and enhanced athletic performance. Research suggests that EMS directly impacts skeletal muscle protein synthesis and preferentially activates type II muscle fibers, potentially leading to improvements in body composition and limb muscle strength.

The appeal of EMS training is not limited to fitness enthusiasts; competitive athletes have also embraced its potential. Studies have demonstrated its effectiveness in increasing muscle strength and performance while reducing post-exercise markers of muscle damage. Additionally, for non-athletes, EMS has shown promise in activating superficial abdominal muscles and increasing muscle cross-sectional area.

EMS: Optimize Muscle Activation and Recovery

1. Enhanced Muscle Activation: EMS stimulates muscle nerves with pulsed currents, leading to involuntary contractions and enhanced activation of muscle fibers. This can result in more comprehensive muscle engagement compared to traditional resistance exercises alone.
2. Improved Blood Flow and Capillary Flexibility: Repeated EMS sessions have been linked to increased capillary flexibility and improved blood flow. This can aid in nutrient delivery to muscles and facilitate better recovery, potentially leading to enhanced performance over time.
3. Selective Activation of Type II Muscle Fibers: EMS has been found to preferentially activate type II muscle fibers, which are associated with greater force production and muscle growth. This targeted stimulation could contribute to improvements in body composition and limb muscle strength.
4. Reduced Post-Exercise Muscle Damage: Studies have shown that EMS can reduce post-exercise markers of muscle damage. This suggests that incorporating EMS into training regimens may help athletes recover more quickly and perform at a higher level with less risk of injury or fatigue.
5. Synergy with Traditional Resistance Training: Combining EMS with traditional resistance training may result in synergistic effects, including higher muscle fiber recruitment and increased stimulation intensity. This integration could maximize gains in muscle mass and strength while potentially reducing discomfort associated with intense workouts.

Sciatica is a common, yet often misunderstood and misdiagnosed condition. It is a specific kind of discomfort that originates from the sciatic nerve, the largest and thickest nerve in your body, in the lower lumbar and sacral region. Imagine a pain that then travels, through your buttocks, and down one of your legs and even down to your calf or foot – that’s typical of sciatic pain or sciatica. It is important to note these symptoms may be caused from other similar conditions originating in the lower back region, and therefore should be fully diagnosed before treatment commences. Interestingly, as many as 40% of people will experience sciatica at some point in their lives, with the likelihood increasing as we age​​.

Recognizing the Signs

Sciatic nerve pain in the lower back through hip, thigh, knee to leg. Educational or informational poster. Flat vector medical illustration isolated on white background. If you’re feeling a combination of lower back pain, numbness, tingling sensations, or muscle weakness that seems to travel down your back and into your leg or foot, you might be dealing with sciatica​​. This pain can vary dramatically – from a mild ache to an intense, sharp pain that almost feels like an electric shock. It’s most noticeable when sitting or bending, and sometimes even simple actions like sneezing or coughing can intensify the discomfort​​.

Managing Sciatica at Home: Yes, You Can!

The good news is that sciatica often improves without the need for surgery. Simple home remedies can be quite effective. For instance, alternating between cold and heat therapy can significantly ease the pain. Ice packs reduce inflammation, while heat treatments after the first week can soothe and relax your muscles​​. Gentle exercises and stretches can also positively impact your mobility and pain management.. Not only do they enhance flexibility, but they also activate and strengthen the muscles supporting your spine, offering relief and prevention from future episodes​​.

Small Changes, Big Impact

• Exercise Smart: Activities like walking, swimming, and cycling are great for your heart and gentle and appropriate for your sciatica​​.
• Strengthen Your Core: It’s not just about abs! Strengthening your core, which includes your back, sides, pelvis, and buttocks, is crucial for spinal support​​.
• Posture Matters: Remember your mom’s advice about not slouching? She was right! Paying attention to your posture can make a big difference​​.
• Weight Management: Keeping a check on your weight helps in reducing the risk of sciatica, as excess weight can put extra pressure on your spine​​.
• Break the Sitting Cycle: If your job involves prolonged sitting, take regular breaks every 20-30 mins, or consider a standing desk​​.

When to Seek Professional Help

While these tips are effective for many, there are times when consulting a doctor is the best course of action. This includes severe symptoms, persistent pain, or if you have specific health conditions. Getting professional advice can help pinpoint the exact cause and tailor a treatment plan for your needs​​. Your Doctor may refer you on to another allied health practitioner who specializes in the treatment of sciatica, and will be able to reduce your ongoing pain levels, restore your mobility and prevent future-flare ups.

Gentle treatment exercises you can try at home 

These exercises are easy to do and require no special equipment. Remember, consistent practice is key to preventing sciatica. If you have existing back pain or sciatica, consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new exercise regimen.

Final Thoughts

Understanding sciatica is the first step in managing it effectively. With the right knowledge, simple lifestyle changes, and home remedies, you can alleviate the discomfort and improve your quality of life. Remember, listening to your body is key, and when in doubt, don’t hesitate to seek medical advice. Happy healing!

We know how the story goes…

We all have been there before. 

You look at the clock and you find yourself 3 hours deep into your work.

Your neck is feeling stiff as hell and you go to stand up and your back is giving you grief. 

You know you need to be proactive about this and something needs to be done about it. Otherwise you going to end up with a long term issue that is going to take hours of therapy to get rid off.

What to do about it?

There are few things to look at here. Your desk setup is definitely to be looked at and we will revisit that later. 

The other thing is actually taking breaks and moving a little. Research says that you need to be taking frequent breaks in order to avoid niggles and pain.

We are talking every 40 minutes. And only 2 minutes of break can help with pain but if you can do 5-10 minutes even better.

Your question now should be, how do I spend my 2-5 minutes for the best result? 

Movement!

It can be any movement, but if you can do some well thought out stretches that would be even better.

We thought rather than explaining the stretches with words or just putting pictures we would record it for you. 

So here are 3 different types of stretches that you can do right at home or at your desk at work.

Standing Stretches

Seated Stretches

Floor Stretches

Ideally you want to do this every 40 minutes or so. However even if you perform this once per day it is better than nothing…

Imagine how your body is going to feel if you do this consistently. 

If you do 5 minutes per day we are talking about 10 hours of stretching over a 3 month period.

If you ask me I would be doing that 5 minute investment over hundreds of dollars for physiotherapy appointments.

If you need any help with these stretches or have any other questions please feel free to contact us on the button below.

Neric et al., Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, Dec 2009, Volume 23(9) pp. 2560-2567.

A study by Neric et al. (2008) aimed to evaluate the effect of active recovery with electrical stimulation compared to submaximal swimming recovery and passive resting recovery following sprint swimming. The high-intensity nature of sprint swimming leads to elevated blood lactate, a substance that is a byproduct of glucose utilization by muscle cells. Active exercise recovery has been shown to lower lactate faster than passive resting recovery, however, may not always be practical.

Within the context of competitive swimming, it is possible that an athlete will complete two or more intense events separated by no more than 30 minutes and will therefore be unable to sufficiently recover before the next event. There is concern that elevated muscle and blood lactate levels after one event, if not reduced to near resting levels before the next event, may negatively affect subsequent performance. During competitive swimming performances, the preference would be to use a swimming recovery or warm-down between events. However, there are instances where there is no pool available for a sufficient swimming recovery, so alternative recovery treatments become important.

The study examined 30 competitive swimmers and blood lactate levels were tested before and immediately after a 200-yard swimming sprint, as well as after 10 minutes (‘mid-recovery’) and 20 minutes (‘post-recovery) of recovery (either rest, active recovery or electrical stimulation.

Submaximal swimming (active recovery) proved to be most effective at lowering blood lactate, however, electrical muscle stimulation also produced significantly better lactate reduction compared to resting recovery after 20 minutes. The study concluded that electrical muscle stimulation shows promise as an alternate recovery treatment for the purpose of lowering blood lactate, such as in situations in which the athlete has limited access to active recovery facilities (e.g. pool), is physically or psychologically exhausted and not motivated to continue to exercise, or simply seeks an alternate recovery treatment.

A special shout-out to our Exercise Physiologist Matt’s client Sam (pictured) who has been practising navigating obstacles while trying to minimise shuffling gait!

As with all rehabilitation programs, gait training is highly individualised to a person’s specific needs. If you are interested in learning more contact us to speak to one of our Accredited Exercise Physiologists today!

Gait is a person’s pattern of walking. Although we often take it for granted, gait is a very complex activity. After a stroke, or with conditions such as Parkinson’s disease or Multiple Sclerosis, a person’s gait pattern may be altered and become abnormal due to their functional limitations and impairments. The resulting gait pattern is unique to that person’s injury/illness and is often a combination of new compensatory movement patterns and movement deviations.

Gait training often becomes a major focus in treatment in order to restore or maximise their walking ability and minimise their risk of falls, especially as risk of falls is increased greatly in people with these conditions. Treatment can focus on improving ambulation efficiency, timing, technique, ability to negotiate obstacles and turns, speed and endurance, as well as building strength, dynamic balance and safety awareness.

Diabetes mellitus is a disease that affects 1 in 10 adults (over 500 million, worldwide) with 90–95% affected by Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Frighteningly, one in two adults with diabetes is undiagnosed. 

Our mission is to help people avoid developing T2DM or help them manage it. This is why we wanted to raise some awareness and help you get started with some simple tips and tricks.

T2DM is a chronic condition in which the body becomes resistant to the effects of the hormone insulin and over time loses the capacity to produce insulin in the pancreas. As a result, blood glucose levels become elevated which can have very serious adverse health effects. Although there are strong genetic and family-related, non-modifiable risk factors involved in its development, there are also a number of modifiable lifestyle risk factors that can be controlled by the choices we make.

Obesity and physical inactivity play critical roles in the development of T2DM. The current Australian guidelines recommend that people with Type 2 diabetes or pre-diabetes accumulate a minimum of 210 min per week of moderate-intensity exercise or 125 min of vigorous-intensity exercise consisting of aerobic and resistance exercise. Resistance exercises focusing on major muscle groups should be performed two to three times a week. Increased skeletal muscle glucose uptake and insulin sensitivity can be elevated up to 24 hours or longer following exercise. Make sure you consult with your doctor if you haven’t done exercise in a while and you are planning to embark on some more vigorous exercise.

How to get started? 

You can simply get a start by walking for 30 minutes per day. That will add up to the 210 minutes of moderate intensity aerobic activity. As you get more confident you can increase the speed and intensity of the walk or maybe even add other aerobic exercises such as using steps or maybe even cardio machines if you have access to them. 

Here at FitTech Studios we can help and get some effective training done using our EMS (Electro Muscular Stimulation) suits. We can get more work done in a short amount of time so you can spend more time on other activities that you like.

If you are interested in learning more about diabetes, how can you manage it and become more physically active in a safe and  supportive environment, then you can contact us on the details below to speak to one of our Accredited Exercise Physiologists.

We wish you all the best on your journey to improving your health.
