The Neubie® device - the heart and soul of the NeuFit® Method
The Neubie® device – the heart and soul of the NeuFit® Method

We admit it, the Neubie electrical stimulation device has become the star of the show at our practice. Afterall, it’s pretty hard to compete with breakthrough results that can occur as quickly as a patient’s very first visit. The Neubie device is like nothing else you’ve seen. FDA-cleared* and patented, it safely sends direct current signals precisely to where your patient is experiencing pain or muscle movement limitations — re-educating their muscles by tapping into the power of the nervous system. Physical therapists and chiropractors now have a powerful new tool for their practice to attract and retain patients. 

How the The NeuFit® System Works
Identify

The “software” of the nervous system controls everything related to health, recovery, and performance. We perform a series of manual muscle tests plus map your body with the NEUBIE to precisely identify the underlying nervous system issues that delay recovery. 

Reset

We use manual therapy and neurological stimulation with the NEUBIE to change those neurological patterns and very quickly re-educate the body back to a state of more normal, optimal functioning.

By working through these restrictions, you can tap into the range of motion, strength, and capacity for pain-free movement that you had all along – it was just lying dormant, unable to be expressed. 

The NeuFit® Method
When our study of neuroplasticity, our body’s innate ability to heal, led us to conceive, design and build a new electrical stimulation device, we wanted to create more than just a new tool. We saw an opportunity to develop a teachable care pathway around the Neubie®device that supports safe, consistent and optimal use of electrical stimulation. This is the NeuFit® Method. We teach it to our own staff and created a full education and certification program for other caregivers seeking to add the Neubie device to their practice.
What issues can clinicians treat with the Neubie & NeuFit Method?
Clinicians have been able to use the NeuFit Method and the Neubie Device to help patients recovering from:
Clinicians have been able to use the NeuFit Method and the Neubie Device to help patients recovering from:

  • Plantar fasciitis 
  • Ankle sprain 
  • Shin splints 
  • Knee ligament injury
  • Jumper’s knee 
  • Hamstring strain 
  • Pulled groin 
  • Strained quad or hip flexor 
  • Back pain 
  • Neck pain 
  • Rotator cuff injury 
  • Shoulder impingement 
  • UCL strain 
  • Tennis elbow 
  • Epicondylitis 
  • Carpal tunnel 
  • Trigger finger 
  • Arthritis 
  • Swelling and lymphedema 
  • Other strained or torn muscles 
  • Chronic pain 
  • Recovery from orthopedic surgery  

Clinicians have also seen success using the NeuFit Method to help patients with neuromuscular re-education and regaining function lost due to:

  • Stroke
  • Spinal Cord Injury
  • Traumatic Brain Injury
  • Multiple Sclerosis (M.S.)
  • …And other neurological injuries or diseases

After helping people recover from their initial injury, many practitioners also use the NeuFit Method and Neubie Device to help patients and clients return to fitness or sports performance training, supporting a sustainable and efficient regimen that often helps them achieve results faster and safer than traditional training. 

OPPORTUNITIES FOR HEALTH PROVIDERS
Why not start a rehabilitation and fitness revolution?
Why not start a rehabilitation and fitness revolution?

We don’t believe that pain should be ‘managed’. Certainly not if it can be eliminated. This belief got us started on a quest to discover the most transformative ways we can help our patients recover from injury and surgery more efficiently and completely. And we found it by focusing on our nervous system – our body’s natural control system.

Frankly, we’re incredibly excited by the results our patients are achieving, with many noticing improvements even on their first visit, which propels us forward to share the power of neuromuscular re-education with our peers.

The Science

The Neubie® is a breakthrough neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) device.
The Neubie® is a breakthrough neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) device.

The Neubie works by sending electrical impulses through the skin to nerves in tissue to elicit muscle contractions and sensory impulses(1,2). These impulses mimic action potentials from both the peripheral and central nervous systems, which is how they communicate with other parts of the body(3). The impulses then communicate with sensory and motor neurons to activate contractile and sensory muscle fibers, resulting in the stimulation of muscle, tissue, and nerve activation, and increasing blood flow(2-7).

Enhance Long-term Outcomes
Enhance Long-term Outcomes

Incorporating NMES into training and therapeutic rehabilitation programs can enhance long-term outcomes by supporting adaptation of cells in muscles, blood vessels, and nerves(8). NMES has been used clinically for a variety of conditions, including: 

orthopedic issues(1,9-17)

neurological conditions like stroke and spinal cord injury(18-23)

in training regimens to improve overall fitness and health at any age(24-30)

Neubie’s DC Technology
Neubie and NeuFit System
Neubie and NeuFit System

In addition to having positive effects on tissues, the Neubie is used along with the NeuFit System for neuromuscular re-education. The NeuFit system is based on new research showing that electrical stimulation can affect reflex patterns,(40-43) brain activity,(44-47) muscle output,(48-49) and pain(59-52).

Treatments with the Neubie and NeuFit System are active rather than passive. Traditional e-stim treatments have patients lying down, passively accepting the current and not moving. In contrast, the DC signal of the Neubie actually permits movement, even at therapeutic levels of stimulation. This allows for optimal, eccentric contractions, which research is proving to be a major factor in effective rehabilitation(53-55). The combo works so well because it generates neuromuscular adaptations while allowing adjustment of motor control in voluntary movement, which is more effective and efficient than either alone; The combo results in greater induction of muscular adaptations, improved performance of complex dynamic movements, and accelerated recovery of muscle contractility and functional abilities(56).
