cognitive functions is vital. At BodyPulse Fitness Studio in Vancouver, we’re exploring how EMS (Electro Muscle Stimulation) training may offer supportive benefits. While it’s important to note that EMS does not treat, fight, or beat Parkinson’s, emerging research suggests it may help improve mind-muscle connections and cognitive function.
Understanding the Potential of EMS in Parkinson’s Support
Recent studies, including those from the National Center for Biotechnology Information and Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, have begun to shed light on how EMS might be beneficial for individuals with Parkinson’s:
- Enhanced Mind-Muscle Connection: EMS training can help in amplifying the connection between the brain and muscles, potentially aiding in smoother movement and muscle control.
- Increased Blood Flow to the Brain: The gentle stimulation from EMS may encourage increased blood flow, which is crucial for cognitive functions.
- Support for Cognitive Functions: While not a cure, EMS training could play a role in supporting cognitive aspects affected by Parkinson’s, potentially boosting memory and focus.
