Releasing Muscle Tension and Pain
MPS is a direct current therapy used at CHARM
to release abnormal muscle tension and gripping patterns so proper motor control can
be re-established.
Treatment Benefits
Release Muscle Tension and Joint Restriction
Modulate Autonomic Nervous System and Decrease Sympathetic Up-regulation
Repolarize and release scar tissue
Decrease pain and tissue sensitivity
Myofascial Release and Increased Circulation
Release Natural Endorphins Producing General Relaxation
Decrease Restriction Around Neural Pathways
The Science
- Applied by a non-invasive point stimulator, MPS current produces a low 2-4 Hz frequency acupuncture-like stimulation. This therapy provides fast, safe, and effective reduction of muscle tension, nervous system stress and up-regulation, guarding, and pain response
- Another benefit of micro-current point stimulation is scar release therapy. Scars often disrupt the neuromyofascial system resulting in pain and muscle inhibition which can produce changes in nervous system input and blood flow.
- MPS is very different from other forms of electrical stimulation like TENS (alternating current) in both application precision and waveform.
- “The perineural cells or nerve sheaths carry a direct current of electricity, prompting the body to grow, heal, regenerate and repair itself. No subsequent healing of any injury may occur without DC stimulation.” - Dr. Robert Becker The Body Electric
- Microcurrent Point Stimulation (MPS) is the perfect compliment to Regenerative Medicine.
Using MPS on my c-section scar was game changing. Immediately after an MPS session, I could feel and see that my scar had released. Instantaneously I could stand up straight and not feel pulling on my scar. Scar massage can be painful and scary — MPS is painless and I saw immediate results.
