Electric stimulation exercise salons raise safety and efficacy questions
Salons offer 35 minute sessions using an electrical stimulator to contract and relax muscles, charging 7.50 to 35 dollars per visit. FDA compliance officer warns devices are prescription tools used under medical supervision, not for casual use. Experts say stimulation exercises muscles but may not replace regular workouts, and risks exist for heart conditions and pacemakers. Physical therapists note benefits for muscle preservation after injury but caution about overall fat loss and cardio benefits. Research by Dr. Jones explores kneecap alignment in athletes, with no definitive conclusions yet.
