This is a procedure through which the muscles are subjected to electrical stimuli for aesthetic and therapeutic purposes, electrostimulation is carried out through the use of both negative and positive electrodes, which must be spread in specific areas of the body that can vary depending on the region where the treatment is required, this treatment allows the intensity of the waves and their duration to be controlled effectively. At present this treatment has gained great interest thanks to the benefits it brings to the patient, among which the work done by the muscles that does not produce fatigue stands out. nor injuries and allows the increase of muscle mass without the need for physical efforts.
Despite being a relatively new procedure that has been implemented thanks to the advances in technology achieved in the last two centuries, there are records that since the time of ancient Egypt there were indications about the usefulness of electricity discharges on the body, however due to lack of resources to generate energy such resorted to the use of animals like fish to be able to generate it. Already at the present time, specifically in the 60s, during the space race, it was the Russians who undertook the task of restarting research on this issue, in order to improve the physical form of their astronauts, giving way to the origin of the Russian or Kotz currents, which provided electrical shocks of great intensity, which made it a dangerous and not very popular practice, however later it was Russian athletes who used it for the same purpose, which led to its implementation in many of the sports medicine and physiotherapy center.
At present this therapy has been improved to the point that it is no longer necessary to implement high intensity shocks, which makes them much safer, allowing patients to greatly increase their body mass, it also facilitates the eradication of the cellulite, which has meant that becomes popular among women after giving birth, allowing them to recover and even improve their figure.
