EMS training for the shin / lower leg

Man holds the lower leg or the shin. The surrounding muscles can be trained with EMS

The muscles of the shin bone are the opposite of the calf muscles. The calf muscles are usually better trained than the shin muscles. With longer distances, pain in the shinbone can therefore quickly occur. Strong shin muscles stabilize and strengthen the ligaments so that the foot does not twist while walking and running.

Tendonitis in the shinbone can also occur due to overloading or incorrect loading. You should therefore train your shin muscles with EMS training and the right EMS device to prevent pain and inflammation.
