“NESA has opened doors to a new world of possibilities, especially in cases where the improvement of sleep quality or urinary incontinence was difficult to address effectively. This technology allows us to help people even more.”

Benedita Figueiredo, physiotherapist at Clínica de Fisioterapia Filipe Cachopas in Quinta da Marinha, specialized in the neuromuscular area, shares her experience with NESA highlighting how the technology opens doors in areas where conventional physiotherapy did not reach with effectiveness, especially in sleep quality and urinary incontinence.
Her clinical case is a 76-year-old woman who took approximately one hour turning over in bed before being able to get up in the mornings. After two sessions she already noticed the first effects, getting up more easily, and after 10 sessions the improvement was evident: she wakes up and gets up immediately, ready for the day. An apparently simple change but of enormous impact on the daily quality of life of an elderly person.
She emphasizes that patient feedback with NESA is consistently positive and surprising: they come seeking to improve a specific pain and end up improving simultaneously in anxiety, sleep, fatigue and general well-being, generating satisfaction that goes far beyond expected.
She recommends NESA without hesitation as a technology that allows helping people more and better than they already did.

Other testimonials

“I’ve treated a diabetic neuropathy with very intense pain in the legs and cramps, and with NESA the sleep problems have disappeared completely, which has been a great relief for the patient.”

“Patients don’t usually come in for sleep problems, but it does come associated with the conditions they have. So it’s true that it’s one of the first things in which I find improvement.”

“Having a NESA device in a hospital would be very important because it would greatly reduce waiting lists, prevent surgeries that wouldn’t be necessary, and reduce the toxicity of medications in patients.”

“The nervous system, both voluntary and autonomic, is the soul mater of our body. When it fails, multiple problems are triggered that are difficult to reverse, the autonomic system being especially complex but essential for the correct functioning of the body.”

“I like to look for new ways to integrate treatments, not focus only on one thing, but create a breadth of treatments so that people can come for different reasons.”

“The autonomic nervous system is something that physiotherapists have never been able to treat directly. NESA allows us a more integrative approach, especially in topics like sleep, which is crucial for recovery and cellular tissue regeneration.”
