A Long-Term Partner for Sustainable Growth in the EMS Market
The EMS market in the UK is entering a phase of clear and sustained growth. Demand for time-efficient, professionally delivered training concepts continues to rise, alongside increasing expectations regarding safety, reliability and regulatory compliance.
At miha bodytec, we have helped shape the professional EMS market from the very beginning. As a pioneer and global market leader, we follow a clear principle: sustainable success in EMS is built on reliable equipment, proven concepts and dependable partners.
Our EMS systems are developed and manufactured as medical devices, in compliance with applicable European and UK regulatory requirements. They are designed for continuous commercial use, with a strong focus on durability, safety and consistent performance. For our partners, fully functional and compliant equipment is not optional – it is the foundation of their business.
Our international experience and clear commitment to professional standards enable our partners to build stable and scalable EMS businesses. The future of EMS in the UK is professional, regulated and quality-driven.
With miha bodytec, that future is built on a solid and compliant foundation.
Let’s talk about your EMS business and growth plans.
Why Muscle Strength Is the True Key to Healthy Ageing – and the Role EMS Training Can Play
Current scientific evidence is clear: when it comes to healthy ageing, muscle strength matters more than muscle mass alone. Muscle strength determines how well people can move in everyday life, how long they remain independent, and how high their risk is for falls, loss of autonomy and health-related limitations. Accordingly, the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP2) has defined sarcopenia since 2019 primarily by the loss of muscle strength, rather than by a reduction in muscle volume alone.
Against this background, attention increasingly turns to the question of how effective strength stimuli can be applied safely in older adults or individuals with physical limitations. This is where professionally supervised whole-body electromyostimulation (WB-EMS) becomes relevant. Studies show that EMS can induce a very high level of neuromuscular activation, even in people with little training experience or limited physical capacity. External electrical stimulation allows large muscle groups to be activated simultaneously—an important advantage, as sarcopenia affects the entire musculoskeletal system rather than isolated muscles.
In summary, current research demonstrates that muscle strength is a central health factor in ageing. Resistance training is considered the most effective intervention against sarcopenia, and professionally applied whole-body EMS can support the delivery of effective strength stimuli when conventional strength training is only possible to a limited extent or is not practical.
