Sonakshi Sinha is the latest celebrity to join the bandwagon and make a case for the use of the Electrical Muscle Stimulation technique (EMS). Earlier this week, the actor shared a video showcasing how she had benefited from EMS, a technique that has caught the fancy of celebrities like Sunny Leone, Manushi Chhillar, Kim Sharma, Leander Paes, and Richa Chadha, among others.

Celebrity pilates trainer and EMS practitioner Samir Purohit reveals that the technique “has its origins in physiotherapy”. “When a person lifts weights, the brain sends signals to the working muscle to enable the muscle to contract. This signal is similar to an electrical signal. In EMS, muscles react to the electrical impulses from an external source. Muscles can’t differentiate this stimulus from the one that comes from the brain, and hence it reacts with a contraction. By stimulating muscles that are hard to target [with traditional training], this technique brings about a full-body work-out during each second of the session.”
