The Role of EMS Exercise in Pain Relief

Physiotherapy Designed
Pain Relief Programme

EMS Exercise is a proven method for reducing pain, particularly in cases of chronic conditions like arthritis and back pain. Studies show that regular physical activity can reduce pain sensitivity by up to 25% promoting blood flow and releasing natural painkillers such as endorphins. Strengthening muscles around affected areas through exercise helps stabilise joints, reduces inflammation, and improves overall mobility, making it a key component in managing pain.

ION BODY combines EMS with chartered physiotherapist-designed, personal trainer-led exercises in 20-minute weekly sessions to provide lasting pain relief. Our 3 STEP PROGRAMME is tailored to help you recover more quickly, build confidence, and achieve long-term relief. It works by enhancing blood flow, increasing strength, and stimulating the release of feel-good hormones.

How EMS Exercise Enhances for Pain Relief

Physiotherapy Designed
Pain Relief Programme

Electro Muscle Stimulation (EMS) amplifies the benefits of traditional exercise by stimulating deeper muscle contractions and enhancing circulation. Research has shown that EMS can reduce pain perception by as much as 35%, particularly in people with musculoskeletal issues. By targeting specific muscles, EMS improves strength and flexibility while promoting blood flow, which aids in reducing inflammation and accelerating recovery. This makes EMS an effective complement to exercise in managing and reducing pain.

Scientific Principles Behind EMS Pain Relief

Physiotherapy Designed
Pain Relief Programme

EMS operates based on the “Gate Control Principle of Pain,” which suggests that stimulating non-painful nerve fibres can block pain signals from reaching the brain. This mechanism helps reduce discomfort in targeted areas. Additionally, EMS triggers the release of endorphins, the body’s natural pain-relieving hormones, which further alleviates pain. Combined with the increased blood flow and muscle stimulation from EMS, this approach offers a scientifically backed solution for pain management.

Shoulder Pain Rehab FAQS

Reduce Shoulder Pain

Do I see a Doctor for my shoulder pain?

The good news is that even though the level of pain and disruption to your life can be quite pronounced, it is very rare for there to be a serious underlying cause to your shoulder pain.

However, if you were to experience any of the following, a discussion with a medical professional would be advised

Locking, clicking or giving way
Unrelenting night pain
New persistent cough
Chest pains
Shortness of breath

You should also seek care if you have experienced unexplained weight loss alongside your shoulder pain, or any fever, chills or signs of infection.

What caused my shoulder pain?

Shoulder pain often comes on in the days following a sharp increase in activity – for example cutting a hedge, painting a fence or decorating the house.

Very often you may feel okay at the time, only to find yourself in a fair amount of pain the following day.

Shoulder pain can also emerge gradually over weeks and months and can be very stubborn to shift.

What’s the plan to resolve my shoulder pain?

Here at Ion Rehab, we have access to world-leading EMS (electro-myo-stimulation) technology which allows us to provide an edge to the process of your recovery.

We combine this with expertly designed rehabilitation programs, written by experienced physiotherapy professionals.

These plans are based on material drawn from thousands of pounds worth of investment in ongoing education from some of the world’s leading physios.

You can therefore be confident that you will be receiving the gold standard.

Our process:

Initial Consult (we introduce you to EMS and our rehab principles)
Rehab Foundations (20 minute sessions delivered in our custom studios with the aid of EMS). Here we work on the shoulder, arm and core muscles.
Rehab Mastery (for some people a second ‘phase’ of rehab may be needed)
Ion Body – EMS enhanced training

Alongside this you will receive some ‘at home’ rehab materials, in the form of a ‘rehab resources’ pack to support your process and optimise your results.

How long will it take to recover from my shoulder pain?

Most episodes of shoulder pain can improve within 6 weeks. Though in some cases this can take up to 12 weeks, with a small minority taking up to 6 months to resolve.

For this reason, our Rehab Foundations program runs for 6 weeks. From there we may move onto the Rehab Mastery or Ion Body progressions depending on your preference and how close you are to achieving your goals.

Each session only takes 20 mins, saving you time and ensuring you are performing your exercises correctly.
