Sonia Lucena is a general health psychologist and a specialist technician in nutrition and human dietetics, with twenty years of experience supporting patients in their recovery and overall wellbeing. In this testimonial she shares her perspective on non-invasive neuromodulation and the place it holds within her way of working.
She explains that what, in her view, sets this technology apart — without diminishing other medical or complementary tools — is that it acts on the autonomic nervous system, helping to balance the body as a foundation for a more solid and lasting recovery. She relates that she has incorporated it into the care of patients with sleep disorders, some of them chronic, anxiety conditions, chronic pain associated with injury recovery, joint discomfort and general malaise, and mentions her interest in developing new lines of work and research.
As an example, she shares the case of a patient with irritable bowel syndrome who, combining lifestyle changes with this treatment, experienced a marked improvement. She describes how that patient had lived conditioned by her symptoms — always needing to locate a bathroom wherever she went — and how she was able to enjoy a holiday free of that constant worry, something she herself described as a real gift. Her testimonial reflects the value she places on integrating this tool within a holistic approach to health.
