“They’re an amazing team! Charlotte, my regular trainer, is always professional, supportive, and friendly. She makes every session enjoyable, but I also feel comfortable with the entire team. The sessions are flexible, tailored to target specific areas I want to focus on, and always consider any aches, pains, or concerns I may have. I occasionally deal with sciatica, and the relief I feel after a session is incredible. I’ve definitely noticed a positive change in my body shape and even developed some defined muscles!”

“ION BODY EMS Training has improved my strength and having a condition from being a child (perthes disease) which is where the blood supply is not great to the bone therefore causing structure changes in my hip bone, which causes me pain. I can honestly say that within a few sessions my hip pain has improved significantly. EMS also helps with stimulating blood supply to the body again something that has contributed to reduced hip pain. Sam & Martin are very welcoming and explain the process and how it works in great detail. The sessions are done in their very welcoming studio in Garforth. Anyone considering ION Body & EMS I would say take the leap you will not walk away unhappy.”

Frequently Asked Injury Rehab & Pain Relief Questions

Electro Muscle Stimulation (EMS) offers an effective solution for managing lower back pain and sciatica, particularly when inhibition and irritability of the muscles in the affected areas hinders the strengthening process. This inhibition often slows recovery and restricts progress, and irritated, inhibited muscles can often go into spasm in day to day activities. EMS works by directly activating the muscles, promoting improved function right away. It is especially beneficial for targeting muscles that are difficult to engage through traditional methods. Not only does this accelerate recovery, but it also makes the process more comfortable and manageable, helping you return to your normal activities or goals more quickly.

Electro Muscle Stimulation (EMS) is a valuable tool for improving knee pain, especially when muscle inhibition around the knee joint hinders effective strengthening. This inhibition often makes the rehabilitation process challenging and time-consuming. EMS helps bypass this obstacle by directly stimulating the muscles, encouraging them to activate and function optimally right away. EMS can be applied in comfortable positions, minimising discomfort during rehabilitation exercises. This approach not only accelerates recovery but also makes the journey smoother and more tolerable, paving the way for faster and more effective results.

Electro Muscle Stimulation (EMS) is a highly effective tool for addressing shoulder pain, particularly when muscle inhibition around the joint limits strength and mobility. This inhibition can slow progress and make recovery challenging. By directly stimulating the muscles, EMS activates them efficiently, improving function and reducing compensatory patterns. It is especially useful for targeting hard-to-activate muscles, which are essential for restoring proper shoulder mechanics. This approach not only accelerates recovery but also helps individuals regain overhead movements without pain, enabling a smoother and quicker return to full activity.

Electro Muscle Stimulation (EMS) is an effective solution for improving hip pain, particularly when muscle inhibition around the joint impairs strength and function. This inhibition often makes activities like walking uphill or even standing for extended periods more difficult and uncomfortable. EMS works by directly stimulating the muscles, promoting immediate activation and restoring proper function. It is especially beneficial for engaging the deep muscles that support hip stability and movement. This approach not only accelerates recovery but also helps individuals regain comfort and confidence in everyday activities, facilitating a quicker return to a pain-free lifestyle.

Yes, EMS training imitates the natural principle of muscle contraction, which is a result of the interaction between the brain, the central nervous system and muscle tissue. ION BODY uses a low-frequency stimulus to activate intense muscle contractions and your personal trainer will ensure that your individual training levels are an optimum fit for you. Compared to other strength training, EMS training is known to be particularly gentle on joints.

Whilst EMS training is generally safe, certain medical conditions are known to be contraindications. EMS training at ION BODY is not recommended for the following conditions:

  1. Pregnancy;
  2. Pacemaker or other electrical implants;
  3. Acute illness, such as fever, viral infections or acute inflammatory processes.

Medical consent may be necessary for some physical conditions. These should be discussed with your personal trainer before any training commences.

Please see further details in our answer to: Can anyone do EMS training? (below).

During ION BODY EMS training, the majority of the major muscle groups are activated in each session, therefore one 20-minute training session per week is sufficient.

In order to achieve the most effective results for muscular adaptation and physical functioning, your body needs time to rest and recover. Research shows that in EMS training, recovery and adaptation periods are significantly longer than for conventional weight and resistance training. ION BODY clients have the option to train twice a week provided that a minimum 4-night recovery period in between sessions is adhered to.

We have noticed that a fixed weekly time slot is helpful in maintaining training consistency and results.

Creatine Kinase (CK) is a metabolic by-product, released into the blood when we perform exercise. CK is recycled through the kidneys and therefore places a strain on them and the immune system in general.

A ION BDOY EMS session causes the release of high amounts of CK due to the amount of musculature activated and the intensity of the contractions. Initial EMS sessions could cause an extremely high CK release which is why we do not allow more than one 20-minute session per week within the first 6 weeks of training. Following this 6-week adaptation period, the body will have adapted and the CK release will not be as high.

CK levels will still place a strain on the immune system however and peak 72-96 hours following training. Therefore, we apply a minimum 4-night rest period between ION BODY EMS sessions, to ensure CK levels are not still rising when the next session is performed but would have peaked and begun to lower. Our clients’ safety and long-term health and training results are a priority.

EMS training with ION BODY has been scientifically proven to be effective for people of different age groups and different physical fitness levels. This means a performance athlete with many years of training experience can train next to a person who has been physically inactive for many years. However, certain medical conditions are known to be contraindications and EMS training with ION BODY is not recommended in certain cases.

For some medical conditions, a doctor’s consent may be needed and suitability for the training needs to be assessed on an individual basis.

Medical conditions requiring assessment before commencing EMS training include the following*:

  • Acute diseases, bacterial infections or inflammatory processes
  • Operations within 2 months
  • Heart conditions
  • Stents or bypasses within 6 months
  • Untreated high blood pressure
  • Diabetes mellitus
  • Pregnancy
  • Electrical implants eg. pacemaker
  • Tumours,cancer or undergoing chemotherapy
  • Bleeding disorders
  • Neurological diseases eg. epilepsy
  • Abdominal wall or inguinal herniaS

Conditions below require GP consent.

  • Respiratory diseases
  • Acute neuralgia or herniated discs
  • Implants or prostheses less then 6 months
  • Disease of internal organs
  • Cardiovascular diseases
  • Osteoarthritis or joint diseases
  • Epilepsy, seizures within 12 months
  • Motion Sickness
  • Edemas
  • Open skin lesions, eczema or burns
  • Varicosis or varicose veins
  • Acute alcohol or drug use
  • Prescribed medication (not including birth control)

Preparation:
You’ll start with a short setup where you’ll be provided with an EMS base layer (if needed) and suited up with the EMS equipment.
The EMS Training Session:
A 20-minute workout guided by a trained instructor.
You’ll perform simple exercises or functional movements while the EMS device sends gentle electrical impulses to activate your muscles.
The session is customised to your fitness level and goals.

ION BODY EMS is a high intensity low impact training session, and it is therefore important to have a sustainable meal (carbohydrate based) 2 to 3 hours before training. Drinking at least 500ml water an hour before and after training is recommended to ensure proper hydration. For your trial session we provide a base layer to be worn under the EMS suit (for normal bookings, you need to buy a base layer at £32 for your own regular use). You should also bring a bottle of water and socks or indoor trainers. View our EMS prices and book a trial today.
