In this new article we analyze the Backvolt electrostimulator from the Backbone brand. What are these types of electrostimulators for? Can they help us to improve the relaxation of our body or our muscular fatigue?
We will discover these questions and many more throughout the article, keep reading.
What Is an Electrostimulator?
In short: Electrical stimulation is used to stimulate muscle fibers or nerves with the help of an electrical current that is distributed in the area of the body to be treated.
The duration of an electrical stimulation session can vary widely and depends on the goal of the treatment and the frequency of use.
An electrical stimulation session can last between 5 minutes and two hours from the warm-up phase to the recovery phase. The electrostimulator shows the recommended duration of the session.
For best effect and to ensure optimum safety, be sure to follow the instructions for use.
What Is Electrostimulation For?
Electrical stimulation improves muscular properties (elasticity, tension, strength), cardiorespiratory capacity and sports performance.
Helps build muscle and improve physical appearance, as well as relieve pain.
In order for you to choose the right device and use it correctly, it is important to know everything about electrical stimulation.
If you wonder if you can lose weight, you can’t lose weight with electrical stimulation. However, along with a healthy lifestyle, it contributes significantly to improving your physical condition.
Backvolt 3-In-1 Electrostimulator
This model of Electrostimulator is very complete and effective, as well as simple to use. It comes with a very complete manual of its proper use, its indications for proper use, risks, contraindications and different methods of use.
When we open the box, we can find:
- User Manual
- A back clip
- 2 cables
- 3 batteries
- 2 large electrodes
How to Use the BackVolt Electrostimulator?
The electrostimulator works directly on pain relief, through the non-invasive application of small electrical currents.
The stickers are placed directly on the skin, close to the pain to be treated. The desired type of therapy graduation is chosen, in this case we can choose between 3: transcutaneous neural electrostimulation (TENS), 10 levels of massage, and 10 levels of electrical muscle stimulation (EMS).
- TENS programs: with enough intensity you feel a tingling sensation.
- EMS: At Maximum Intensity, the higher the intensity, the more muscle fibers are used. Gradually increasing intensity throughout session to session will give better results. This comes in handy in training programs (strengthening and building muscles).
Tip: At the beginning of the application, it makes sense for the beginner to get used to it: Work for a week at a suitable intensity to observe the effect of the electrical stimulation on your body.
How Can the BackVolt 3-In-1 Electrostimulator Help Us?
What the BackVolt Electrostimulator does is block nerve receptors and the brain to better control chronic pain, in addition this makes our body generate endorphins that make our body feel relieved without the need to take any type of medication.
The electrical stimulation used against pain is effective for all pain and regardless of the pain center (back pain, muscle pain, etc.). For many sports, such as swimming, soccer, or running, electrical stimulation is a particularly effective addition for a noticeable improvement in muscle strength and speed (speed of contraction).
Using the BackVolt Electrostimulator complements traditional training and not only saves a considerable amount of time, but also allows you to achieve a level of training that, even in the case of many training units, is difficult to achieve with traditional training.
In addition to these indisputable advantages, electrical stimulation is especially suitable as a complement to traditional training because it optimizes the recovery phases: the better your physical condition, the more you can increase your training units.
The effectiveness of the electrostimulation device depends on the number of muscle fibers mobilized: the weaker the effect, the more treatments are required and vice versa.
Therefore, the type and intensity of treatment must be adjusted according to the program performed.
Depending on the application, the position of the body to adopt during the electrical stimulation session is indicated in the instructions for use supplied with the device: consult them before use.
