José María Belló, physiotherapist at the Belló Physiotherapy Center, presents the case of Maripaz, a 62-year-old woman with arthritis and a congenital hip alteration that significantly conditioned her mobility and quality of life. In addition to the underlying physical problem, the patient lived with insomnia, constant fatigue from early in the day and significant emotional impact, factors that clearly limited her daily activities and general well-being. As the therapist explains, after the initial assessment an alteration in the balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems was identified, so it was decided to orient the treatment with NESA toward a global regulation of the symptoms.
Throughout the process, different programs were adapted depending on the evolution observed, with the aim of intervening not only on sleep, but also on mobility, fatigue, participation in daily life and other associated symptoms such as hypersalivation and tremor. As Maripaz herself relates, one of the most evident benefits was the feeling of tranquility she began to experience both day and night, along with an improvement in rest and a decrease in nervous tension. She also highlights an improvement in voice, in tremor control and in her overall sense of body calm.
Overall, the case reflects how an approach aimed at regulating the nervous system can positively impact functionality, rest and quality of life in patients with chronic and complex conditions.
