Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES)

Description:

Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) is an advanced, non-invasive treatment used to restore muscle function by delivering controlled electrical impulses to nerves and muscles. It is particularly effective for individuals experiencing muscle weakness, reduced mobility, or neurological conditions.

 

FES works by mimicking the body’s natural electrical signals, helping to activate inactive or weakened muscles. This improves muscle strength, coordination, and overall movement, supporting a smoother and more natural recovery process.

 

At our FES clinic in Aylesbury, we provide personalised treatment plans designed to help you regain function, improve mobility, and enhance your quality of life.

Treatment :

FES uses gentle electrical impulses delivered through electrodes placed on the skin. These impulses stimulate nerves and muscles, encouraging contraction and helping to rebuild strength and function over time.

What happens during an FES session?

During your session, small electrodes will be placed on your skin over the targeted muscles and nerves. A controlled electrical current is then delivered to stimulate muscle contractions.

 

You may feel a tingling or pulsing sensation, which is completely normal. The intensity is adjusted to ensure your comfort while achieving effective muscle activation.

 

Sessions are tailored to your condition and may be combined with exercises to maximise results.
