Recovery That Meets Your Muscles Halfway

Whether you’re healing from surgery or supporting an active lifestyle, your muscles sometimes need more than rest alone can provide. At Leif Rogers, MD, we offer electromagnetic muscle stimulation to patients looking to support muscle recovery, tone, and overall function as part of a broader wellness or recovery plan.

What Is Electromagnetic Muscle Stimulation?

Electromagnetic muscle stimulation, sometimes called EMMS, delivers targeted energy to induce muscle contractions, enhancing recovery, muscle tone, and circulation without requiring additional physical exertion. This technology is often incorporated alongside other post-surgical recovery treatments or an existing fitness routine to support your body's natural muscle function. While every patient has their own motivations for seeking EMMS, many come to us to achieve the following:

  • Support for muscle recovery following surgery or activity
  • Improved muscle tone without added gym time
  • Enhanced circulation in treated areas
  • A complement to an existing fitness or recovery routine

The LRMD Difference

When you choose LRMD for electromagnetic muscle stimulation in Beverly Hills and Pasadena, you choose an experience rooted in customizable treatments and precise, clinically focused care. Here, we calibrate the EMMMS device’s intensity and frequency to your specific recovery stage or fitness goals, rather than applying it as a one-size-fits-all protocol. Our team works under the clinical direction of Brendan Courneene, ND, to ensure every session supports your broader health plan safely and effectively.

We consider the whole body when building treatment plans, taking your recovery timeline, activity level, and specific goals into account. Because our surgical and non-surgical services are under the same roof, your sessions will be fully integrated into your broader wellness or recovery plan, with input from your care team at every step.

What to Expect From Your Electromagnetic Muscle Stimulation Sessions in Beverly Hills and Pasadena

Supporting Muscle Function With Targeted Energy

Electromagnetic muscle stimulation delivers energy directly to targeted muscle groups, inducing contractions that support blood circulation, muscle tone, and overall recovery. This targeted approach allows specific areas to receive focused support without straining the surrounding tissue, which is especially valuable to patients with highly active lifestyles.

Tailored Treatments

We typically add electromagnetic muscle stimulation to patients’ recovery and wellness plans when targeting the following:

  • Post-surgical muscle support and recovery
  • Muscle tone maintenance alongside an active lifestyle
  • Circulation support in treated areas
  • Ongoing wellness maintenance alongside other longevity services

During your initial consultation, your technician will review your goals and medical history to determine if EMMS fits your recovery plan.

Designed for Your Comfort

To begin your session, your technician will position the EMMS device over your treatment area and secure it comfortably in place. The device will then deliver a series of muscle contractions throughout your session, with the intensity adjusted to your comfort level and muscle needs. Sessions typically last 20-30 minutes, depending on the number of areas treated.

Setting Your Treatment Schedule

Post-surgical patients often benefit from sessions scheduled two to three times weekly during early recovery, though exact timing will vary based on the surgical procedure you received. Patients using this treatment for general muscle tone typically choose weekly or biweekly sessions, depending on their wellness goals.

Gentle, Patient-First Recovery 

Electromagnetic muscle stimulation involves no needles, incisions, or skin disruption, making recovery comfortable regardless of your reason for treatment. You may notice mild muscle fatigue, similar to that from light exercise, for a day following your session, along with a general sense of relaxation in the treated area. Lingering soreness is uncommon, but possible. 

Most of our patients in Beverly Hills and Pasadena return to normal activities, including light exercise, social gatherings, and work, immediately and without restrictions. If you participate in strenuous exercise, such as heavy lifting, cycling, or long-distance running, you may need to wait a few days for your muscles to fully recover before resuming your training. 

Your Post-Treatment Process

After your electromagnetic muscle stimulation session, we’ll provide guidance to help you maintain your results between visits. This plan may include the following:

  • Hydration recommendations 
  • Timing suggestions for resuming high-impact exercise 
  • Exercises to target your treated areas 
  • Side effects and adverse reactions to monitor

Throughout your treatment, you’ll return to either our Beverly Hills or Pasadena office for continued sessions with our team, who will track your progress and adjust the energy intensity as needed.

Muscle Support That Builds With Time

Because electromagnetic muscle stimulation works progressively with each session, benefits build gradually rather than appearing after a single visit. Most patients notice improved muscle tone and recovery after several weeks of consistent sessions, with continued support throughout their treatment schedule.

Electromagnetic Muscle Simulation Frequently Asked Questions

Is this treatment only for patients recovering from surgery?

No. Many of our Beverly Hills and Pasadena patients use electromagnetic muscle stimulation independently of surgery to support muscle tone and recovery alongside an active lifestyle or existing fitness routine.

How is EMMS different from EmSculpt?

EmSculpt is designed specifically to build muscle definition in areas such as the abdomen and buttocks. EMMS, however, can be adjusted to more broadly support muscle recovery and tone across a range of applications.

Will this treatment feel like exercise?

Most patients describe the sensation as similar to light muscle contractions rather than a full workout. EMMS is a comfortable option for recovery support without added physical strain.

Can this treatment be used during post-surgical recovery?

Yes. Electromagnetic muscle stimulation is commonly incorporated into post-surgical recovery plans to support muscle function and circulation. Your surgical team will confirm whether this is an appropriate recovery aid for your specific procedure.

Can this treatment be combined with other longevity services?

Yes. We often pair electromagnetic muscle stimulation with services such as lymphatic drainage massage or hyperbaric oxygen therapy to support comprehensive recovery.
