I got one of those little portable electronic stimulation machines during rehab following a minor surgery... Now that I am healthy, should I still be using it?

Maybe on my achilles and calves post-run, just when they get a little "good" sore? Or maybe on my IT bands, for preventative purposes? Chest and abs to get shredded? (LOL)

Would appreciate some serious replies along with the kinky troll replies I am sure to get. Thanks!

re: Regular Poster

its likely the machine you have isn't strong enough to do a proper EMS session or anything, however 'generic' settings on these machines are good for general lowering muscle tone and increasing some blood flow locally.

I like them and recommend to my squad, along with professional models to do some serious sessions with.

Go for it

Some of the inexpensive ones are quite good.
