Revitive Technology

EMS works by delivering electrical pulses to the body. These activate motor nerves in the body, which in turn cause muscles to contract.

To see how EMS works in practice, let’s look at the problem of returning blood to the heart from lower parts of the body, such as the feet and legs. This is hard work for the circulation, because this blood has to be pushed 'uphill'.

EMS applied via the soles of the feet activate motor nerves and causes the calf muscles to contract. Revitive does this while a person is seated rather than walking. EMS is not intended as a replacement for physical activity, but is ideal for use alongside it.

Preventing or stopping the pooling of blood and fluid in the feet and ankles is important as pooling of blood, as a result of being seated for too long for example, can cause pain, swelling and ‘heavy’, aching legs. EMS has been shown to improve the circulation and offer a wide range of medical benefits, including making muscles stronger, and reducing swelling and pain due to fluid build-up (oedema).
