Introduction

• Physical Therapy
• The Innovation of Mobile Electro Therapy
• Today's MET Machines

Physical therapy is the use of scientifically developed physical methods of activating body functions, which are known to heal and alleviate debilitating injury and sickness, and to maintain a healthy and fit lifestyle.

Today, Physical Therapists promote health and fitness by using:

1. Manual therapy such as massage and adjustments to soft-tissue, bones and joints.

2. Exercise therapy and fitness routines.

3. Stimulation therapy to:

• Activate sensory input into the Central Nervous System (CNS). The use of light, sound, smell and touch, results in the activation of Action Potentials in motor nerve fibres.
• Increase bioelectrical activity in body cells.

Action potentials are electro-chemical in nature, and today, we are able to electrically stimulate action potential firing of sensory and motor nerves, with the use of minuscule pulsed electrical charges applied across the skin.

The innovation of Mobile Electro Therapy (MET) is what really provides the Independence for people to obtain:

An Independence from Pain and Degenerative Disease

The main innovation of today's MET machines is that they provide effective therapy for many of the chronic debilitating problems of severe pain and degenerative disease, which are difficult ailments to treat. Our present healthcare system is frequently failing to cope with these problems. Now, we can use MET to raise the level of endorphin's in the blood stream, to gain a stronger analgesic effect than that achieved with the use of analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs.

Being a personally applied treatment, MET enables people to look after their health at any time of the day or night, to provide the individual user with Independence and Self-Reliance and control over their own Health and Wellbeing.

A Feeling of Wellbeing to improve the Quality of Life

Many chronic injuries and ailments can be rehabilitated using an intensive course of frequently applied MET. The endorphin release achieved at the same time has a sedating effect, which induces relaxation and a feeling of wellbeing.

Today's MET Machines enable applications of MET, from small pocket size machines that have the power of large clinical devices. These pocket size devices achieve highly efficient electrical stimulation therapy, because MET may be used for extended periods. The treatment efficacy of MET is much more effective than that achieved with short period electrical therapy applied within a clinic.
