Last night I attended a webinar about incontinence in women. This is way more common that people realise, especailly after child birth and after menopause. Pelvic floor exercises and breathing can be of assistance. This webinar was specifically looking at the use of the stimpod NMS460 on the femoral nerve. The femoral nerve is stimulated where the thigh meets the pelvis (the panty line at the front in the groin). The nerve is stimulated for 5 minutes on each side. Case studies show drastic improvements in most patients within 1-3 sessions. This could mean not having to wear pads all day, every day and not having to plan your day around bathroom visits, not leaking with every laugh or cough, massively improving quality of life for so many women. Please contact us if you would like more information. , , ,

REST. What does that word mean to you?
This week the KTPhysio team attended a workability webinar on rest.
Patients often get told to "rest" without any instruction on what that actually means... does it mean lie in bed or day, not lift anything heavy or carry on as normal, just don't exercise.
In reality, rest means different things to different people and means different things in different situations.
On the webinar, one physio said she rested today after doing the 2 oceans marathon the previous day. her version of rest was a full day at work, just not running.
Another's rest was watching series.
My rest time is when I can lie down and read my book for 15 minutes.

What rejuvenates you? Sleep, creativity, walking, meditation?

In chronic pain and chronic fatigue, rest can be essential to prevent the "boom and bust" cycle. However, just lying down in bed doesn't rejuvenate these patients.
So we explored the concept that rest is an active process and most definately a skill to learn and master.
Rest is an active part of recovery and should be intentional, not filled with guilt. It is an important skill like learning to lift and move well.
If you want further information, chat to your physio. 🙂🙂

Stimpod NMS 460 is our newest addition to the practice and we LOVE it. The results have been amazing so far! Using it as an adjunct to our normal treatments or in some people, a stand alone treatment for chronic pain, muscle activation and sensory changes. Recommended is 4-6 sessions but in some people we have seen results after the first session. Some of the things we've treated include sciatica, carpal tunnel, nerve pain from disc injury, drop foot, tennis elbow and back/neck pain. It works through neuromodulation.

No other treatments worked for these patients. This is how the Stimpod NMS460 helped them recover from pain and other neurological conditions. Learn more at www.stimpodnms460.com.

Key Patient Information Points for Stimpod NMS460
Non-invasive Solution: The Stimpod NMS460 is a non-surgical, non-invasive device used to address the root causes of nerve pain.
Targeted Therapy: The technology uses transcutaneous pulsed radiofrequency (tPRF) to target specific affected nerves, potentially restoring natural function and providing long-term relief from chronic conditions like migraines and various neuropathies.
Fast and Effective Relief: Many patients report rapid and effective relief, often showing significant improvement in pain levels and mobility after just one or a few sessions.
Reduced Side Effects: This approach offers an alternative to conventional pain management, aiming to provide relief without the common side effects associated with long-term medication use.
FDA Cleared: The device is cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treating chronic intractable pain.
Specialist Guided: Treatments are administered by trained healthcare providers (e.g., pain management specialists, physiotherapists) who localize the specific nerves requiring treatment.
