Nerea Gaspar, physiotherapist with 15 years of experience, directs Fisiosentis in Zaragoza, a clinic specialized in chronic pain, back problems, migraines and headaches. Her vocation was born when seeing physiotherapists work when her mother suffered a serious accident during her second year of high school.
Her clinical case with NESA is especially significant because the patient is also one of her best friends: she suffers severe and very entrenched insomnia with a score of 12 out of 21 on the Pittsburgh index, which seriously conditioned her life. After 10 NESA sessions she is sleeping 5-6 hours straight, an extraordinary result for someone with that level of chronic insomnia.
She highlights as the main virtue of NESA its painless nature, especially valuable in her type of patients — chronic with fear of invasive treatments — and the possibility of combining it simultaneously with massage or pain education, a discipline in which she has been working for years. For her NESA represents making the leap from explaining pain with words to physically modifying the unconscious part that she previously did not reach with physiotherapy.
Word of mouth is already working: patients who have improved are bringing new patients who arrive specifically asking for NESA.
