Re: EMS points

[Guest guest]

Hey Don... yep i use both leads (four contacts) for practise on my

good leg - so i know what i am doing before the OS says I can start

building up thigh mass again post op...I am still in no - weight down

stage....but I must say I am impressed with these TENS/EMS units -

maybe this was an option I missed at the start of my drama's as I

love the idea of not doing any physical work and the muscles are

getting a real work out.

That site I found the link for has an EMS unit for freakin body

uilders (believe it or not) with 8 leads ... unbelievable .... they

build up their six pack stomachs with little effort while watching

the TV...yeahhhh!!!

When you think about a lot of the issues for members on this site

many would revolve around loss of thigh muscle / VMO weakness to

support the knee joint and maybe this is a real option to keep up and

even build up the thighs?? Mine cost me $180AUD (15 programs - 4

leads) but they can obviously sell for a lot more!
