HOW DOES FREQUENCY SPECIFIC MICROCURRENT WORK?

Your body uses microcurrent energy to increase its own energy production. Microcurrent increases the production of your own chemical energy, (ATP) in some studies it was found to accelerate it by up to 500%.

It is the resonating/vibrating effect of the microcurrent which unwinds tissue, boosts circulation and nutrients in order for the body to repair itself.

Microcurrent will assist in repairing tissues by increasing the energy levels within the injured site. Inflammation can be reduced by over 62% in just 4 minutes!

FSM also increases protein synthesis by 70% and boost the immune system, therefore healing is promoted. You will feel better quicker!

Combined with Physical Therapy, Home care / prescriptive exercises you will recover faster and prevent future injuries occurring.
Chronic irreversible conditions can be managed and pain may be substantially reduced, quality of life improved.

HOW LONG BEFORE I START FEELING BETTER?

Everybody reacts differently to every different kind of treatment, whether its frequency specific microcurrent, physiotherapy, osteopathy etc. However, with the microcurrent your healing may be accelerated so you will feel better in less treatments, saving you time and money.

From personal experience, I felt better after one treatment on an old hip injury, my pain was greatly reduced and my hip was more mobile. After three treatments I can honestly say I feel great and never realised I could be totally pain free. I would recommend two treatments close together (4-7 days) so that we can renew the tissues, get pain relief and start retraining your postural patterns to prevent a recurrence.

As a general guide, acute problems such as a minor fall, sprains, athletic pains or injury generally resolve with a couple of treatments.

More chronic complex problems such as old injuries, will generally take a few more treatments. For conditions such as arthritis and fibromyalgia this would be ongoing pain management.

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT? CAN I FEEL THE CURRENT?

The Microcurrent is applied either through sticky pads placed on your skin, or via graphite gloves wrapped in towels. It may be necessary to remove some clothes. Eg, working on your shoulder would require your shirt off.
No you can’t usually feel it, the current is so low it doesn’t stimulate the sensory nerves. However during treatment it sometimes is possible to feel the muscles softening or little prickly tingles.

WHAT ARE THE SIDE EFFECTS/ CONTRAINDICATIONS?

People react differently to treatments whether its a deep tissue massage, hypnotherapy or something else. After a Frequency specific microcurrent treatment you might feel relaxed, thirsty or tired. This usually only lasts a few minutes, there have been no reports of of significant or lasting adverse reactions after a FSM treatment.

If you are pregnant or suspect you might be, please note this treatment is contraindicated merely as a precaution.
Pace Makers are also contraindicated for your safety.

DO I NEED TO DO ANYTHING BEFORE I HAVE AN FSM TREATMENT?

Yes! You need to be hydrated, and not just a sip of a water! Please drink at least one litre of water before your treatment.(1-2 hours) It is advisable to abstain from tea,  coffee and caffeine sports drinks/ sodas before the treatment.
Please also bring a bottle of water to sip after.
Please avoid using lotions, oils and fake tan on the area to be treated.

HOW LONG IS A TREATMENT AND HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

All treatments for Physical Therapy and Frequency Specific Microcurrent usually take 45-60 minutes depending on the nature of the complaint. However, sometimes, depending on your ailment it may be advisable to book you in for a longer treatment to get the most out of your visit.

I accelerated my own healing. Just 11 weeks post operative repair of a fully ruptured Achilles Tendon I was back cycling, balancing on one foot and doing heal raises. My surgeon was astounded by my progress when I went for my check up! Thanks to Frequency Micro current my scar is minimal, there has been little to no build up of stubborn scar tissue and I have full range of movement. Even I am astounded at how good my repair and rehab has been. I knew Frequency Specific Micro-current was good but my own experience has been unbelievable. My surgeon said it would be six months until I can stretch the tendon. I am pleased to report he was wrong!
