EMS Safety Guidelines

General safety

EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) training at Nordic Fit Lab is always delivered in a supervised 1:1 setting. Your coach adjusts impulse intensity in real time based on your feedback. A full safety screening is completed before your first session.

Who EMS is suitable for

EMS is generally suitable for healthy adults who want efficient, guided strength and conditioning training. Intensity is adapted to your experience level, goals, and recovery capacity.

Contraindications — do not book if any apply

• Active implanted electronic devices (pacemaker, cochlear implant, insulin pump, etc.)
• Epilepsy or seizure disorders
• Pregnancy
• Acute inflammatory conditions, infections, or fever
• Severe cardiovascular disease (unless cleared in writing by your physician)
• Recent surgery or open wounds in areas covered by the EMS suit
• Cancer treatment in the stimulated area (unless cleared by your physician)

Before your session

• Wear tight-fitting, moisture-wicking sportswear
• Remove metal jewellery from the training area
• Inform your coach of any injuries, medications, or health changes
• Arrive 10 minutes early for fitting and briefing
• Avoid training on a completely empty stomach or immediately after a heavy meal

During your session

Tell your coach immediately if you feel dizziness, unusual pain, skin irritation, or discomfort. The session can be stopped or adjusted at any time. You remain in control throughout.

Recovery

We recommend 48 hours minimum between EMS sessions to allow full muscle recovery. Your coach will set an appropriate weekly rhythm (typically 1–2 sessions per week).
