Can muscle stimulation unlock flexibility faster?

In one controlled trial with 51 athletes (tight hamstrings), three groups did:
• Static stretching
• Active stretching
• Stretching + EMS

Only the EMS group made significantly bigger gains in flexibility.

Key takeaways:
• EMS enhances stretching—it doesn’t replace it.
• TENS during static stretching → raises stretch tolerance.
• NMES during PNF → deeper range via contract–relax.
• Protocol matters: intensity, timing, and frequency determine results.

Try this: TENS + static stretch for 10 minutes before training.
Then tell us what changed in your end-range comfort.
