From lack of exercise to incorrect posture and stress, but also overweight, many reasons can trigger the pain in the back. But what exactly can you do to avoid back pain in the future? There is a short and very effective answer: EMS training with Bodify. Here you can find out how it works and what you should bear in mind.
The cause of back pain
The cause of back pain can be multifaceted. In most cases, the reason for the pain cannot even be defined. However, common reasons include the following:
- Muscle tension and blockages
- Excess weight
- Lack of exercise
- Poor posture
Back pain can come in different forms and manifest itself in different ways. Often, the ailment comes on especially in the morning after getting up or when spending a long time sitting down. Especially in times of home office or overtime in front of the laptop, back pain is a strongly increasing complaint of society. But what exactly is the role of EMS training in relation to back pain? We explain it to you.
Why does EMS training help with back pain?
It is helpful to take a closer look behind the scenes. Does EMS training really help with back pain and if so, what is the cause behind it? The clear answer is. Yes, EMS is a suitable way to not only combat your back pain, but also to prevent it in the future. The reason behind it can be found in the muscle building that is initiated by the electrical impulses. Through EMS training you build up strong back muscles. Your muscles are activated and through regular training your back muscles become more and more formed. This is the basis for avoiding future pain.
Studies on EMS and back pain
EMS training as an effective method against back pain also has a scientific basis. This not only gives us a closer look at the effect of the training, but also strengthens the reasons to regularly incorporate EMS training into your everyday life. A look at the state of science shows us that a large number of studies prove the effectiveness of the training in relation to back pain. One example is the University of Bayreuth, which examined EMS training more closely in test subjects with back pain.
The results are impressive. More than 80 percent of the participants were able to reduce their back pain through regular EMS training. The study lasted a total of six weeks and, in addition to reducing back pain, also aimed to improve endurance in everyday life and reduce chronic pain. Studies like this prove that incorporating EMS training into your daily routine can not only combat your back pain, but can also have a preventative effect at the same time and stabilise your muscles in the long term. At the end of the six weeks, 30 percent of the participants reported that they no longer felt any pain in their lower back.

Even when sitting, we tend to slouch, which can lead to back pain and tension in the muscles. Therefore, always try to keep your back straight and avoid bad posture.

Even short walks or stretching exercises that you can integrate into your everyday life in addition to the already effective EMS exercises can strengthen your back.
