Rafa is an athletic patient, a competitive-level mountain biking enthusiast, who shares in this testimonial his personal experience in his quest to improve his performance and his recovery after exercise. He combines sport with his work and his family life, and explains that any tool that helps him perform better and recover better is valuable to him, within an approach in which —he stresses— it is not all about training and nutrition.
He recounts that he discovered non-invasive neuromodulation through his mother, who had already tried it, and that he decided to incorporate it with the help of physiotherapist María González, a pelvic floor specialist and neuromodulation expert, with the aim of optimising his performance and his sports recovery.
He explains that, somewhat unexpectedly, the first change he noticed was in his back: he frequently suffered contractures in the shoulder-blade and cervical area, which he mainly links to stress and to working long hours sitting down, and he already noticed an improvement between the first and second sessions. He describes how that pain relief becomes part of a kind of virtuous circle, since feeling better gives him more control and, with it, better performance. He concludes by positively valuing the overall effect of regulating the autonomic nervous system across different aspects of his daily life.
