Redcord® and Neufit®
With a commitment to identifying the root cause of dysfunction and pain, the Physical Therapy team at CHARM leverages several unique modalities to create a personalized physical therapy approach that doesn’t just complement the healing process—it completes it.
Two of these unique modalities include Redcord Neurac® and NEUBIE (neuro-bio-electric) direct current stimulation by NeuFit®. Redcord Neurac® utilizes 1:1 guided closed chain exercise with graded body weight off-loading to restore optimal neuromuscular control, making it highly effective for patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain and limited functional movement.
NEUBIE by NeuFit®, delivers targeted neuro-bio-electric direct current stimulation to release excessive muscle tension, activate underperforming muscles and re-educate the nervous system. This process works to accelerate recovery, and enhance mobility even in the most complex pain cases.
Combined, these therapies can help improve movement quality, increase function, and deliver deeper, more sustainable relief for patients with chronic pain or movement limitations.
What Is Redcord® Active Therapy?
Redcord Active® suspension therapy is a specialized treatment that focuses on restoring movement and improving physical function through controlled, pain-free exercises.
Using a system of ropes and slings, Redcord® provides personalized support to help patients activate the right muscles at the right time and in the right amount while reducing strain on the body.
What Is Neufit® (NEUBIE Device) Therapy?
NEUBIE by NeuFit® is an innovative, neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) therapy that retrains the nervous system resulting in accelerated recovery and enhanced physical function of the musculoskeletal system.
However, unlike traditional electrical stimulation, Neufit® for injury recovery uses direct current (DC) to target and activate muscles more effectively, promoting faster healing, improved mobility, and reduced pain.
Conditions Treated at CHARM with Redcord® and Neufit® and more
The team at CHARM leverages Redcord Neurac® and NEUBIE by NeuFit® to address a wide range of neuromuscular and orthopedic conditions. By targeting the root causes of dysfunction—whether neurological, muscular, or structural—these modalities help reduce pain, restore movement, and accelerate healing for patients of all ages and activity levels.
Conditions commonly treated with Neufit® electrical stimulation and the Redcord® suspension system include:
- Chronic low back pain
- Neck pain and cervical dysfunction
- Shoulder impingement and rotator cuff injuries
- Hip and pelvic instability
- Sciatica and nerve entrapments
- Post-surgical musculoskeletal rehabilitation
- Knee pain (including patellofemoral syndrome and ligament injuries)
- Ankle instability and sprains
- Tendonitis and tendinopathies (e.g., Achilles, tennis elbow)
- Neuromuscular re-education after stroke or neurological injury
- Functional movement disorders
- Sports performance imbalances or limitations
How These Therapies Work Together for Pain Relief and Optimal Function
When combined, Redcord Neurac® and NEUBIE by NeuFit® create a powerful, synergistic approach to reduce joint strain and optimize functional restoration. Redcord® focuses on restoring neuromuscular coordination and control by challenging and retraining the body’s stabilizing muscles. This precision targeting of dysfunctional movement patterns creates the ideal environment for long-lasting posture, balance, and joint stability improvements.
The NEUBIE® device amplifies these effects by using direct current stimulation to activate weak or inhibited muscles, quiet overactive motor patterns, and desensitize pain pathways. It primes the nervous system for more efficient motor control, allowing patients to perform Redcord® exercises with greater engagement, reduced discomfort, and faster gains.
Benefits of Redcord® & Neufit® for Patients and Athletes
Redcord Active® and NeuFit’s NEUBIE® therapies offer highly specialized benefits that go beyond the scope of traditional physical therapy for athletes. By combining advanced neuromuscular activation with real-time movement correction, these therapies treat symptoms and resolve the underlying dysfunctions contributing to pain and poor performance.
Whether you’re a patient recovering from injury or an athlete seeking to optimize performance, this integrated approach delivers faster, deeper, and more sustainable results.
Specific benefits for patients and athletes include:
- Precise identification and activation of weak or inhibited muscles
- Accelerated neuromuscular re-education and motor control
- Improved postural stability and core function without compensatory movement
- Enhanced proprioception and body awareness during exercise
- Significant pain reduction, often within the first few sessions
- Ability to safely load the body without traditional weights or joint stress
- Faster return to sport or daily activity with improved movement efficiency
- Targeted reactivation of neural pathways post-injury or surgery
- Real-time feedback and adaptability for individualized treatment
- Reduced risk of re-injury through correction of faulty movement patterns
What to Expect During a Redcord® & Neufit® Therapy Session
During a Physical Therapy assessment at CHARM, you can expect a highly personalized and interactive experience designed to identify and treat the root causes of your pain or movement limitations. Your session will begin with a thorough functional assessment to evaluate how your muscles activate and your body moves.
A Redcord® Weak Link Test will assist in guiding the best sequence of interventions.
Based on this assessment, your therapist will guide you through targeted exercises using the Redcord® suspension system, which allows you to perform precise movements while supported in slings. This reduces strain and helps activate the correct stabilizing muscles without compensations.
FAQs About Redcord® & Neufit® Therapy
Is Redcord® therapy safe for people with injuries?
Yes, Redcord® therapy is very safe for individuals with injuries. The suspension system allows for bodyweight-supported exercises that can be precisely adjusted to match your current level of function and pain, making it ideal for gentle yet effective rehabilitation and return to sport following injury.
Does Neufit® therapy hurt?
NEUBIE® therapy does not typically hurt. You may feel a strong but tolerable tingling or pulsing sensation as the electrical current stimulates your muscles and nerves. Your therapist will also continuously adjust exercises and stimulation levels to ensure comfort and maximize results.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions varies based on your condition, goals, and how your body responds. Many patients / athletes notice improvements within just a few visits, but a maintenance program using these targeting therapies can assist in long-term results and decrease the risk of repeat injury.
Can I do both therapies in the same session?
Absolutely. In fact, combining Redcord® and NEUBIE® in the same session often leads to faster progress by reinforcing proper muscle activation and improving neuromuscular control in real time. Your therapist will create an integrated plan tailored to your needs.
What Sets CHARM Apart from Other Pain Management Specialists
At our regenerative medicine clinic in Austin, we understand that everyone responds differently to treatment modalities. That’s why we are one of the only clinics in the country to offer both NeuFit® and Record® therapy in addition to our other diverse options to relieve pain and repair injury through the use of both interventional pain and regenerative medicine approaches to optimize outcomes and enhance quality of life.
Real Patient Testimonials
“CHARM is cutting-edge in the industry as far as what exercises they prescribe, but also what tools they utilize. I specifically reacted well to the combination of Redcord Neurac method and the Neubie device, which added direct electrical stimulation. More specifically while performing the exercises, this would provide immediate feedback to turn on all the right muscle groups. Thank you very much, CHARM, for getting [me] back to playing golf and being able to perform all of my normal duties again.”
