What do Saquan Barkley, Jameson Taillon, John Isner, and Mike Tyson have in common? They all have used the Neubie to recover from injury or improve their athletic performance.  

Athletes across all levels of competition are always looking for competitive advantages over their opponents. Virginian Rehabilitation and Wellness provides individuals with the opportunity to unlock their peak physical potential through the use of the Neubie. The Neubie is an innovative treatment tool which can improve recovery timelines from injury or surgery, while also accelerating muscle strength gains and endurance to return individuals to sport or other meaningful physical activity to pre-injury levels and beyond. With August marking the return to school and sport for many, we thought it was a fitting time to highlight the Neubie and the potential it provides! 

The Neubie is state of the art technology that provides the body with direct-current electrical stimulation targeting the body’s nervous system. This is a critical differentiator from other electrical stimulation devices that only work on the body’s muscles. The Neubie has a major impact on muscle, but it’s ability to target the nervous system provides a deeper benefit, as the nervous system plays a role in controlling muscle activation, pain interpretation, and overall body awareness and function.  

The Neubie also provides treatment in a fail-proof method through its “mapping” methodology. Using the Neubie to perform “mapping” allows your therapist to provide 100% accuracy in identifying and treating areas of dysfunction within the body to promote optimal physical performance. Prior to the development of the Neubie, the placement of the electrodes was determined by the therapists best estimate of optimal placement.  The Neubie eliminates the chance for error and significantly enhances the accuracy of treatments to optimize patient outcomes. 

How can the Neubie help you? The Neubie is indicated for use for numerous conditions and diagnoses including but not limited to: 

  • Orthopedic post-operative recovery 

  • Muscle tendonitis 

  • Muscle strains and ruptures 

  • Ligament sprains  

  • Multiple Sclerosis 

  • Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis 

  • Stroke 

  • Functional neurological disorder 

  • Peripheral neuropathy 

  • Enhancing athletic performance  

There are a multitude of ways in which the Neubie provides an advantage in your recovery compared to similar modalities and treatment approaches: 

  • Enhancing recovery timelines 

  • Reducing acute and chronic pain 

  • Promoting relaxation and reduced hypersensitivity 

  • Optimizing muscle strength and muscle mass 

  • Improving body awareness and coordination 

Another thing that sets Neubie apart from other treatment modalities is the ability to use it during performance of functional and/or physical activity. This means that clients can perform exercises and sport-specific activities while using the Neubie to better train their muscles and enhance their performance with the activities that mean the most. There is no better way to train than to utilize cutting-edge technology while you train!
