What Is Physiokey?
Physiokey therapy is a non-invasive treatment, which restores the body’s self-healing mechanism.
The Physiokey device emits an electro-magnetic signal, which is almost identical to the human nerve signal. This signal travels along certain types of nerve fibres, which triggers the release of powerful pain-relieving substances into the bloodstream called endorphins. Physiokey also stimulates the production of chemicals called neuropeptides, which rapidly advances healing.
Who can benefit from Physiokey?
Anyone who is experiencing pain whether chronic or acute may benefit from Physiokey therapy. It can also be used in conjunction with other therapies and conventional medicine.
Many of our clients have told us that as a result of Physiokey therapy, other chronic conditions have improved, for example; depression, anxiety, allergies, fatigue, hormonal disorders and digestive disorders.
Why is Physiokey different?
The difference between Physiokey and some other therapies, which may require you to have indefinite on going treatment, is that Physiokey takes the body through the healing cycle to completion.
This means that once your treatment is finished, it is unlikely that you will need further treatment for the same problem. Most acute problems only require 3 to 5 sessions.
Physiokey - treatment information
What happens during a Physiokey session?
During your first session you will be asked to complete a full medical history. It is important that you complete this as fully and honestly as possible, taking particular care to detail any medication you may be taking. This information is essential for the therapist to formulate an accurate treatment plan.
You will be asked to remove clothing appropriate to where your injury is and towelling robes are provided for your modesty and comfort.
When the Physiokey is applied to the skin you will feel a gentle pins and needles sensation, you will be asked what energy level is comfortable for you.
Your treatment will be devised according to the information you give to the therapist and may consist of localised, general or a combination of both treatments.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of treatments varies depending on the complaint. In general, acute problems need fewer treatments. For example, acute back pain may only require 3 or 4 sessions. Chronic conditions usually require between 5 to 8 sessions.
Are there any side effects?
During treatment it is normal to experience some, all or none of the following reactions:
- Light headedness
- Skin reactions (e.g. redness, itching, sensitivity)
- Tiredness
- Feeling cold
- Feeling thirsty
- Pain moving or shifting
After treatment and during your prescribed course of treatments you may still experience some of the above reactions and may also experience the following.
- Flu like symptoms
- Improved sleeping patterns, although sleep may be disrupted for the first few days as the brain sorts out its internal “filing system”.
- Area of pain becoming more localised as the body heals.
- Increased range of movement.
- Improved mood and sense of well-being.
- Increased energy levels.
What should I expect after I finish my course of treatments?
Physiokey continues to work even after you have completed your course of treatment so don’t be concerned if you are discharged before you are completely better. Most people continue to improve for approximately three months after treatment and some continue to improve for up to five months. It is also common to experience flare ups of old symptoms and pain during this period as the body continues to heal and this is completely normal.
