It explores how high-intensity electromagnetic stimulation can support muscle activation, core strengthening, rehabilitation, and recovery, with documented improvements in function, pain reduction, and overall physical performance. A summary of the key findings is provided below, with the full report available to download at the end of the page.
About This Report
This report combines research, rehabilitation concepts, and clinical case studies demonstrating the application of EMSHAPE NEO PLUS for non-invasive muscle stimulation and functional rehabilitation. It highlights treatment outcomes related to muscle strengthening, movement recovery, and pain management, showcasing the same technology featured in our professional EMS body sculpting and rehabilitation systems.
Clinical Studies
Clinical Study – Knee Pain in Elite Rowing Athlete
Patient : 17-year-old elite rower with knee pain
Concern : Knee pain
Pain Level : 9/10 at full extension
Treatment : Shockwave therapy, Active rehabilitation, Soft tissue therapy, Cryotherapy
Results After 4 Weeks of EMSHAPE NEO+ : Pain-free after 8 treatment sessions, Significant improvement in VMO (Vastus Medialis Oblique0 muscle activation. Returned to training and competed at the National Championships. Remained pain-free at the 6-week follow-up
Patient receiving a non-invasive thigh toning treatment using an EMShape Neo+ muscle stimulation and body contouring machine.
Clinical Study – Acute Back Pain in Professional MMA Athlete
Patient : 23-year-old MMA athlete with acute back pain
Condition : MRI confirmed L4 herniated disc
Pain level: 7/10 throughout all ranges of motion
Treatment : Shockwave therapy, Soft tissue therapy, Dry needling
Results After 6 Weeks of EMSHAPE NEO+ : Pain-free after 12 treatment sessions. Progress accelerated beginning with session 7. Passive muscle activation enabled active rehabilitation to become pain-free. Returned to training and won the main event fight at a regional promotion. Remained pain-free at the 6-week follow-up
Clinical Study – Female Pro Wrestler with Low Back Pain
Patient : 29-year-old female professional wrestler
Condition : Weak transverse abdominis activation, Delayed hip hinge mechanics, Hyperextension bias during movement, Avoidance of impact-based drills due to pain and fear, Underactive glute muscles
Treatment : Shockwave therapy
Results After 6 Weeks of EMSHAPE NEO+ : Core endurance improved by Week 3. Returned to full ring training. Movement patterns normalized. Glute and core strength successfully rebuilt using EMSHAPE NEO+
Clinical Study – 32-Year-Old Female with Postpartum Incontinence
Patient : 32-year-old female with exercise-induced incontinence
Condition : Weak pelvic floor contractions on cue with mild diastasis recti. High stress levels and erratic sleep further compounded the condition
Treatment : Tailored pelvic floor strengthening, Functional core retraining and Intra-abdominal pressure education. EMSHAPE NEO+ was used to progressively increase pelvic floor activation over 8 sessions (2 sessions per week for 4 weeks), integrated with diaphragmatic breathing and clinical cueing
Results After 6 Weeks of EMSHAPE NEO+ : Leakage decreased by 80% by the sixth treatment session. Returned to full workouts by Week 4. Experienced significant improvements in confidence and overall quality of life
