Electrical Therapy - What's it All about?

Bio Electronics is continually being asked a range of questions on practically every aspect of its equipment and therapy. 'How does it work', 'What does it do?', 'Can I use it for X?', 'Is is suitable for Y?'. The list goes on. There is, however, one question that comes up repeatedly, and in many forms - "What's it all about?"

The fact is, many people haven't ever heard of electrical therapy before, and come to us with no idea what the 'big picture' is. In light of this, their question is a natural one. To answer it, here is a brief description of what MET is, and why we're excited about it.

By harnessing the advances in technology and production, MET has taken this electro therapy out of the clinic and put it into the hands of the average person. Being able to personally manage one's own physical problems is a wonderfully empowering experience that users of MET report consistently. It is variously described as a 'life saver', a 'fantastic little invention', and a 'miracle' by those who obtain relief from physical ailments that no other therapy has been able help. We know MET however, is not a miracle - merely the marriage of human physiology and modern technology.

MET reduces the need for pain killers and anti-inflammatory medication, all of which come with unwanted side effects. And unlike anti-inflammatories, which slow the rate of injury healing, MET actually accelerates the repair process. Surprisingly, MET has no side effects, and only mild complications of skin irritation in a very small percentage of users. Additionally, one cannot overdose with its use, and it is not addictive in any way.

There are certain physical injuries and conditions that the clinician simply can't treat with optimum results. This may be due to the inordinate drain on time, the excessive cost to the patient, or both. Mobile Electro Therapy is in no way hindered by the traditional physical constraints of mains power, office hours, and high fees.

Mobile Electro Therapy has revolutionized the delivery of healthcare and the ability to induce wellbeing. It is an exceptionally effective method of treatment to relieve pain, address chronic and acute disability and induce a feeling of ease and comfort. In many instances of physical disability, it is the treatment of choice.

MET is not a dream for the future. It is here now, and available to all.
