LBL & Pelvic Floor strength

TREAT BLADDER LEAKAGE USING ELECTRIC MUSCULAR STIMULATION TRAINING

1 in 3 woman suffer from LBL. One of our Head Trainers Tiae personally had an experienced this issue as a strength athlete and found EMS training as a great solution. Studies has down EMS (Electro Muscular stimulation) training as an effect Treatment for LBL (Light bladder leakage)

STUDY:
Electromuscular stimulation (EMS) of the whole body musculature – An innovative method to relieve urinary incontinence

(BOECKH-BEHRENS W.-U./SCHÄFFER, G., unpublished dissertation, University of Bayreuth, 2002).

Aim of study
The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of EMS training on urinary incontinence.

Methodology
The presence, type and the intensity of urinary incontinence complaints were investigated in 49 individuals with back ailments with the help of initial and subsequent questionnaires (GAUDENZ 1979). A largely slight to moderate form of urinary incontinence was present in 17 individuals (15 women, 2 men) averaging 47 years of age.
10 units of EMS training, twice per week, each lasting 45 minutes, were carried out with the following training parameters: pulse duration 4 s, pulse interval 2 s, frequency 80 Hz, rise time 0 s, pulse width 350 s. In the process, a period of about 25 minutes of supervised training, during which various static exercise positions were assumed, followed a habituation period lasting 10-15 minutes in each case for the adjustment of individual pulse strengths. The training period concluded with a five-minute relaxation program (pulse duration 1 s, frequence 100 Hz, rise time 0 s, pulse width 150 s.

Results
An alleviation of urinary incontinence complaints was achieved in 64.7% of the cases. 23.5% became complaint-free. A decrease in complaints occurred in 24.4%, and 35.9% saw no change. These results corresponded somewhat to the improvements that have been reported for treatments of incontinence with special, local electromuscular therapies (cf. Eriksen 1987, Sebastio 2000, Salinas Casado 1990, Meyer 2001).

Conclusion
Whole body EMS training represents an effective training system. It achieves therapeutic goals such as relief from incontinence and back complaints and preventive goals such as muscle formation, body contouring and improvements in mood, vitality, body stability and general performance.

training effects on strength-related diagnostic parameters from mechanical and electrical stimulation

Research study

Short and long-term training effects on strength-related diagnostic parameters from mechanical and electrical stimulation

(Speicher, U. / Nowak, S. / Schmithüsen J. / Kleinöder, H. / Mester, J., German Sport University Cologne 2008; published in “medical sports network” 04/2007, among others.)

Aim of study
The goal of the present study was to compare classic strength training methods with dynamic whole body EMS with regard to their effects on strength and speed.

Methodology
80 sports students were randomized into equal parts into classic training groups for hypertrophy, maximum strength, quickness and muscular endurance, the modern procedure for whole body EMS and vibration, as well as the two mixed groups, whole body EMS/hypertrophy and vibration/hypertrophy. The classic training groups worked on the leg curl and leg extension musculature on (Gym80) machines in the respective groups in 3 series with various additional weights (30-90%, 3-15 repetitions). The EMS groups executed side steps and knee bends without additional weights (load/interval 6 s/4 s, pulse frequency 85 Hz, pulse width 350 μs, bipolar rectangular pulse (60% intensity). Standardization was via visual biofeedback. The training took place twice a week over a period of 4 weeks. Entry and exit tests were carried out on strength diagnostic machines before and after the training as well as after a two-week regeneration phase. The dynamics were measured by means of performance (strength x speed) with 40% and 60% additional load at various angles.

Results
All types of strength training were able to improve maximum performance significantly. Maximum strength improved the most, 16%, within the hypertrophy group, followed by 9-10% for EMS. Only the EMS groups showed significant improvement in speed. The measured speed performance improved by about 30% – significantly more than by classic methods (16-18%). This is apparently due to EMS‘s direct control of fast-twitch muscle fibers.
Mixed training designs such as EMS and classic hypertrophy training show the typical changes that result from the two training stimuli (a maximum 7 % growth in strength and 12% improvement in performance).
Combinations of classic and modern training procedures could thus open up new, promising configurations of stimuli. Long-term effects of whole body EMS must in particular be emphasized. The greatest boosts in performance appear after a two-week period of regeneration.

Conclusion
Compared with various types of training to boost strength and speed, dynamic whole body EMS training with miha bodytec has been shown to be a highly effective training method. Whole body EMS was the sole form of training able to improve maximum sports performance in speed of movement. In addition, pronounced long-term effects are opening up new possibilities in training periodization. An carefully dosed amount of whole body EMS together with the dynamic execution of movement represents a promising combination for strength and speed training.

Would you do it? you wont believe what tradies are doing to cure their back pain!

THE EFFECTIVE NEW TREATMENT

The Research

A study consisting of 2 sessions a week for 5 weeks showed a reduction in back pain in 88% of participants. Participants who continued to experience back discomfort stated that their pain has reduced to up to 80%.  

More than 40% of participants complained about constant back pain at the start of the study. The figure was just 9% after 6 weeks of training.The pain totally disappeared in 44% of the patients with chronic complaints.The duration of the typical back pain in everyday life (lifting heavy loads, walking, bending over, heavy physical labor, chores, sports, driving or sitting for long periods) improved by up to 30% 

Whole body EMS training combats back ailments, a common condition, very effectively. The current evidently engages even deep muscles that can only be reached with conventional treatment measures with difficulty. The special whole body EMS training represents a time-saving, very effective all-round training that achieves far-reaching, positive health effects. At the same time, therapeutic as well as preventive objectives are achieved

What working from home is
doing to our bodies.

Covid has forced many of us to take our work home with us. The extended hours of sitting in our chairs, lack of human connection and the increase in stress has lead to an increase in a host of mental and physical health issues.

• Increase in upper back pain from long term sitting posture.​

• Increase in headaches from eye strain and posture.​

• Increase in lower back pain and discomfort.​

• Decrease in muscle mass​Increase in type 2 diabetes​Increase in weight gain. ​

• Increase in anxiety 

• ​Decrease in mobility​

• Decrease in energy levels.
   

These are only the health issues we can see in the short term today. We are yet to see the full extent this new lifestyle will have on our bodies.

 According to research we should expect to see people experience heart issues, a shortened lifespan, increase in demanture, increase in varicose veins, increase in cancer risk and many more health issues that we should expect to impact on our bodies.

Exercise Is be Bad For Your Body! 

Find out What’s The Perfect Workout For Your Body?
7 Different forms of exercise That Won’t Limit you By Age, Experience Or Injuries. 

We all understand the importance of Being fit and healthy. It’s not just about looking fit and healthy, it’s also about not feeling frail as we age, not becoming too weak to pick up our children or Grandkids, not running out of breath when walking up a basic flight of stairs, preventing that lovely postural humpback from years of office work even just decreasing the risk of dying young from something that could have been prevented by a few different lifestyle changes. 

You may not be in your 20s anymore, you may have lost all your fitness you had back in high school and you have already started to feel those knees, hips, shoulders and lower back begin to limit your daily activities. 

One thing people don’t tell you is that even the Fittest, Strongest  and most Athletic people in the world experience some level of pain when it comes to their joints, ligaments or muscles due to injury.

But how do they stay Strong, Fit and Healthy even though they fear getting injuries or have limitations due to injuries or Time?

The key is finding out what works for your body and lifestyle. there is always something that you are able to do and in this Article our goal is to not only find something that you can do to live a fit and healthy lifestyle but also find something fun that you can fall in Love with doing.

Why am i writing this Article?

I am a 28 year old Fitness coach. I didn’t start off fit. To this day i have ever found a client weaker then i was when i first started at i have trained people well into their 70s.

Throughout my journey i have lost 25 kg of body fat on two separate occasions (The second was caused by a sudden Hypothyroidism) I have competed in Powerlifting, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and was training for my First Muay Thai fight which was canceled once i suffered a not so fun concussion during training at 26 years old.

At 16 i was a nightclub DJ who played in 4 countries before turning 18 and by 23 i was a gym junkie who went to bed by 9:00pm. 

Everyone is on there own journey but thought mine, i taught myself how to enjoy healthy food, i used google to learn how to make a salad for the first time at 18 years old and i have found a way to workout and keep fit even with all the damage i did to my body through the years of training.

Before the age of 28 i wore down most of the cartilage in my Hips leading me to crawl up stairs before i had cortisone injections in both hips. (If you have ever seen these needles they are MASSIVE) and did an hour of hip rehab every day for years just to get in and out of the car without lifting my legs. I tore my shoulders 4 separate times, One put me in a sling for 6 weeks. I was in and out of a neck brace for 6 months (Honestly not a good look for a 24 year old) I have dislocated my thumb from a 120kg guy falling on top of it during training. OUCH!!! And i caused a prolapsed in my pelvic floor which lead me to dread a sneeze and run to the bathroom multiple times a day. 

This is only a brief list of the damage i have done and i bet you can agree it is substantial for my age. Not to mention that 2 years i suffered from Chronic fatigue where even getting my body out of bed was a struggle.   

The one thing I never did thought my whole journey was stop training all together. I always found a way to do something that worked for me. Weather it was training around an injury, doing something that fixed an injury or even finding away to keep moving when i didn’t have enough time/ energy in the day.

In the Article i wanted to share with you 7 different forms of exercise that could possibly work for your body or time restrictions. There is always something you can do and at the end i will share 5 Bonus tips on how to Fall in love with living a fit and healthy lifestyle.

Why do we really need to workout?

As i said before there is more of a reason to workout then to look good or feel comfortable in our skin. Our bodies are made to move. The stronger, fitter and healthier you become the overall increase in your quality of life. Not only does it prevent a host of diseases, you will be able to move around more freely as you age, your options of holiday destinations increase, your quality of time and energy towards you children and grandchildren increase, your mood increases, you will become smarter and the list of benefits just goes on. 

If we could throw all the benefits of physical activity into a pill it would be the most consumed medicine in the world. 

So if being fit and healthy is so amazing then why aren’t we all just drawn to it? The answer is if your not already moving your body and living an active lifestyle it takes a conscious effort and willingness to change what’s comfortable and become comfortable with being uncomfortable. 

My biggest tip i can give anyone is to find something that you Love and focus improving that sport or skill and the physical and mental results will follow. 

The 7 Different forms of Exercise that could
work for you.

1. Strength Training.

   What it is: Strength training isn’t about being a bodybuilder, lifting insane amounts of weight or throwing weights over your head. there is more to strength training then Powerlifting, Crossfit and bodybuilding.
   
   There is no down side the being strong. Science has shown that the stronger you are today, the longer you’re likely to live in the future.
   
   I can’t tell you how many time people tell me the don’t want to lift weights because they don’t want to get bulky. Building muscle bulk takes years upon years and most people that appear to be unnaturally large are taking sport enhancements or have next level genetic as well as 10 + years of day in day out training.
   
   Training for strength doesn’t necessarily mean training for muscles size. You can be quite strong but visually not see it based on your training style or program.
   
   Who is it good for: Strength training is good for everyone. All ages. Once you hit 40 years old your muscle decreases from 16.6% to 40.9%.
   
   Who is it not good for: Everyone should do some level of strength training but the key is ti find out what works for your body. If you have back issues i wouldn’t recommend heavy deadlifts if you have bad posture we would recommend you do a lot more back work then chest work.
   
   The best advice i can give for anyone new so strength training is to always start with a trainer. You may not realise it but every gym movement is actually quite technical and 80% of people in a normal gym are doing wrong movement patterns that are going to lead to pain in the future.
   
   The benefits:
   + Increased muscle mass: Muscle mass naturally decreases with age, but strength training can help reverse the trend.
   
   + Stronger bones: Strength training increases bone density and reduces the risk of fractures.
   
   + Joint flexibility: Strength training helps joints stay flexible and can reduce the symptoms of arthritis.
   
   + Weight control: As you gain muscle, your body begins to burn calories more easily, making it easier to control your weight.
   
   + Balance: Strengthening exercises can increase flexibility and balance as people age, reducing falls and injuries.
   
   Tips: Find a good trainer with years of experience. Not all trainers are made equal. You want one that understand this is a long game. It’s not about breaking PRs day in and day out its about being at fit and strong as you age.
   
   If you have bad injuries go for an exercise physiologist over a Personal Trainer. They will also offer private health rebates and have done an extra 4 years + of study particularly based around injuries. But again not all Exercise Physiologist are made equal. It’s important to go to someone that practices what they preach and are in Love with what they do.

2. HITT SPIN CLASS

Spin classes are HITT Training. High Intensity Interval Training.

HIIT involves short bursts of intense exercise alternated with low-intensity recovery periods. Interestingly, it is perhaps the most time-efficient way to exercise. Typically, a HIIT workout will range from 10 to 30 minutes in duration.

Despite how short the workout is, it can produce health benefits similar to twice as much moderate-intensity exercise. Not only does HIIT provide the benefits of longer-duration exercise in a much shorter amount of time — it may also provide some unique health benefits

Benefits of HITT

• HITT burns a lot of calories in a short period of time. The researchers found that HIIT burned 25–30% more calories than the other forms of exercise
  

• You will continue to burn more calories after the workout. In the same study, HIIT was also found to shift the body’s metabolism toward using fat for energy rather than carbs. Another study showed that just two minutes of HIIT in the form of sprints increased metabolism over 24 hours as much as 30 minutes of running
  

• Great for Fat loss. Interestingly, it found that both HIIT and traditional moderate-intensity exercise can reduce body fat and waist circumference. Additionally, one study found that people performing HIIT three times per week for 20 minutes per session lost 4.4 pounds, or 2 kgs, of body fat in 12 weeks — without any dietary change
  

• You can increase muscle mass with HITT. Particularly in legs when doing Spin classes.
  

• HITT Can improve oxygen consumption. One study found that five weeks of HIIT workouts performed four days per week for 20 minutes each session improved oxygen consumption by 9%

  This was almost identical to the improvement in oxygen consumption in the other group in the study, who cycled continuously for 40 minutes per day, four days per week.
  

• Reduce resting heart rate, blood pressure and Blood sugar.

WHY SPIN CLASS FOR HITT?

• Motivated by being in a large class

• Fun party like environment.

• Can slow your pass down if you are burning out

• Can sit in the back of the room if you feel anxious about being in a group environment

• Good on your joints and back.

• Does Not require much planing or thought.

• 30 minute sweat sessions
  
  TIPS

  Not all instructors are made equal. Shop around and find a club/ instructor who matches your vibe. Most places offer at least 1 class free trial so you can try before you buy.  
  That pain you get from sitting on those uncomfortable seats does go away with time.

3. Electrical Muscle Stimulation

Looking for a workout that only takes 20 minutes 1-2x a week and is more efficient than a normal workout? No only is a 20 minute session with EMS equal to over 1.5 hours inside the gym it puts no strain on your injuries and can actually decrease a lot of your current pain.

What is Electrical Muscular Stimulation (EMS)? EMS uses its own electrical pulses to contract your muscles without you having to put strain on your joints or ligaments to do the work.

EMS uses an electric current to fire muscle fibres to give your body an intense and effective athletic training session. EMS training is appropriate for all levels including; general population, athletes, beginner, in rehabilitation or someone looking for a unique kick in their workout.

EMS is effective in increasing several key areas including metabolism, strength, endurance and speed. EMS is perfect for individuals going through rehabilitation where you need long-term pain relief and to decrease the loss of hard earned muscle mass and athletic performance.

Why Electrical Muscle Stimulation?

EMS is a 20 Minute High Intensity workout. Just 20 minutes of EMS is equivalent to over 1.5 hours of conventional gym training. Studies have shown just 20 minute EMS sessions is an effective method for increases fat loss, muscle tone, endrance, power, speed, mood, focus, mobility, decrease pain and so much more.

Who is EMS for?

There are over 10,000 studios world wide that offer EMS. A variety of people do this new unique workout including high level olympic athletes, victoria secret models, celebrities, busy professionals, mums, people who suffer from injuries and so many more.

EMS sessions cost about the same as a Personal Training session at $60 a session. This German technology is new to Australia but you should be able to find at least one studio in every main city.

4. Swim Squad

A majority of Australians are competent swimmer. Joining a fitness swim squad group is a great way to lose some stubborn body fat and increase your overall fitness. Swimming is a low impact sport and is perfect for someone who suffers from back pain or lower limb pain. I wouldn’t recommend swimming if you have a really bad neck or shoulder injury.

Swimming is a good all-round activity because it:

• Keeps your heart rate up but takes some of the impact stress off your body

• Builds endurance, muscle strength and cardiovascular fitness

• Helps maintain a healthy weight, healthy heart and lungs

• Tones muscles and builds strength

• Provides an all-over body workout, as nearly all of your muscles are used during swimming.

Swimming has many other benefits including:

• Being a relaxing and peaceful form of exercise

• Alleviating stress

• Improving coordination, balance and posture

• Improving flexibility

• Providing good low-impact therapy for some injuries and conditions

• Providing a pleasant way to cool down on a hot day

• Being available in many places – you can swim in swimming pools, beaches, lakes, dams and rivers. Make sure that the environment you choose to swim in is safe.

Swim Squad Vs Free Swim.

Yes, you can go to your local pool and just swim laps but the lack of training structure and competitiveness makes it quite boring. Joining a local swim squad will improve your fitness at a much faster rate without you having to think too much about each session. A swim class can cost you anywhere between $8-$20 making it an affordable fitness session. You should be able to find swim squads for all levels.

5. Boxing

Boxing is great for people who want to get fit without realising how hard they are really working. Boxing classes are a great way to get fit, learn a new skill and train around any knee, hip or ankle injuries.

Supring benefits of boxing

• Increase core strength

• Improves bone density

• Relieves stress

• Increases cardiovascular fitness.

• Tones upper body muscles.

• Improve total body strength

• increase hand eye coordination.

Tips.

Find a gym that is a bit more serious about boxing and not just boxing fitness. this way you will learn the proper techniques that will not only decrease the injuries to your body but also teach you valuable skills.

A fitness based boxing club will make you perform more fitness movement and less boxing these injude squats, push ups and running. If you’re trying to train around an injury its best to avoid these sorts of classes.

Most places offer free sessions so it’s worth just finding a local place and trying a class out for free.

If boxing isn’t your thing try a different martial art. The ability to improve a skill over time will keep you coming back for more.
(Muay Thai, Jiu Jitsu, Judo, Krav Maga and many more.)

6. Pilates & Yoga

Pilates (or the Pilates method) is a series of about 500 exercises inspired by calisthenics, yoga and ballet. Pilates lengthens and stretches all the major muscle groups in the body in a balanced fashion. It improves flexibility, strength, balance and body awareness.

Yoga brings the body and mind together and is built on three main elements – exercise, breathing and meditation. Both yoga and Pilates improve muscular and postural strength.

Pilates can be an aerobic and non-aerobic form of exercise. It requires concentration and focus, because you move your body through precise ranges of motion. Pilates lengthens and stretches all the major muscle groups in your body in a balanced fashion. It requires concentration in finding a centre point to control your body through movement. Each exercise has a prescribed placement, rhythm and breathing pattern.

In Pilates, your muscles are never worked to exhaustion, so there is no sweating or straining, just intense concentration. The workout consists of a variety of exercise sequences that are performed in low repetitions, usually five to ten times, over a session of 45 to 90 minutes. Mat work and specialised equipment for resistance are used.

The Pilates method is taught to suit each person and exercises are regularly re-evaluated to ensure they are appropriate for that person. Due to the individual attention, this method can suit everybody from elite athletes to people with limited mobility, pregnant women and people with low fitness levels.

The health benefits of Pilates include:

• improved flexibility

• increased muscle strength and tone, particularly of your abdominal muscles, lower back, hips and buttocks (the ‘core muscles’ of your body)

• balanced muscular strength on both sides of your body

• enhanced muscular control of your back and limbs

• improved stabilisation of your spine

• improved posture

• rehabilitation or prevention of injuries related to muscle imbalances

• improved physical coordination and balance

• relaxation of your shoulders, neck and upper back

• safe rehabilitation of joint and spinal injuries

• prevention of musculoskeletal injuries

• increased lung capacity and circulation through deep breathing

• improved concentration

• increased body awareness

• stress management and relaxation.

Tips:
Most pilaties places offer free classes. Try out a class and see if its right for you. If you suffering from injuries look into a class with physiologist you will get cover from your private health and they will work around your injuries.

7. DANCE CLASSES

Need another fun way to get fit without really having to think about all the hard work you’re putting in. Adult dance classes might be the perfect workout for you.

Here is a list of the popular types of dance (single and partner):
1. Ballet
2. Ballroom
3. Contemporary
4. Hip Hop
5. Jazz
6. Tap Dance
7. Folk Dance
8. Irish Dance

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

We all understand the risks of motorbike riding. But we don’t discuss the toll this lifestyle
can take on our day to day bodies.

Motorbike riding increases the risk of:

• Numbness through the hands, legs and feet due to vibrations.

• Lower back pain from sitting for long periods of time.

• Bad posture from unnatural sitting positions

• Weight gain from being inactive for long periods of time and increase in unhealthy convient road trip foods.

• Loss of muscle mass particularly in legs and glutes from not being used regularly

• Increase in hips, knees and joint pain from lack of muscle use.

• Sitting for long periods of time increase your chances of developing some types of cancer, including lung, uterine, and colon cancers.

• Sitting for long periods has been linked to heart disease.

• Sitting for long periods can lead to varicose veins or spider veins. (a smaller version of varicose veins). This is because sitting causes blood to pool in your legs.

• Sitting for too long can cause deep vein thrombosis (DVT), for example on a long plane or car trip. A deep vein thrombosis is a blood clot that forms in the veins of your leg.

What is Bionic FItness EMS

Bionic Fitness uses high tech full body Electrical Muscle Stimulation Technology from Europe to give your body a fast an effective workout in just 20 minutes. A 20 minute Bionic Fitness workout is equivalent to over 1.5 hours inside the gym.

How does it work?

EMS Goes directly to the muscle and stimulates your own muscle fibres tricking your body into thinking you're lifting extremely heavy weights or going for a long run.

When we excise or use our muscles our brain sends a signal to our muscles to stimulate ether our fast twitch muscles fibres (Strength) or our slow twitch muscle fibers (Endurance).

The goal with excise is to 1. recruit as many muscle fibres as possible and 2. stimulate them to a level of fatigue. In order to stimulate your muscle fibres to close to their 100% Fatigue you have to lift extremely heavy weights which puts strain on your joints or ligaments or do a really long cardio session which takes time to build that endurance.

Why do people do EMS instead of conventional training?

EMS achieves the same results and in some cases better results than conventional training. Why waste hours inside the gym when you can achieve the same thing in just two, twenty minute sessions a week?
