NEUBIE (Neuro Bio-Electric Stimulation) Services
Simply put, this electrical stimulation therapy takes an opposite approach to conventional e Stim devices that simply offer alternating currents to affect change in the neuromuscular system. Instead, NEUBIE combines two waves, allowing a direct current (DC) to optimize the neurophysiological effect on the patient without causing the used to be locked up or frozen by muscular co-contraction.
In the end, this twist on the traditional electrical stimulation machine promotes eccentric. Contractions which absorb force, improve performance, protect joints, and reduce injury.
Similarly, while other eStim technologies trigger stress response in a patient, the NEUBIE promotes a higher parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) tone and has extensive clinical evidence showing an increase in heart rate variability (HRV).
As the creators of the NEUBIE by NeuFit explain:
‘The device ends up preferentially generating sensory, afferent input, and less motor output. It is sending a sensory signal to the central nervous system (CNS), and the CNS can respond by either relaxing into that signal or fighting against it. The ability to preferentially send afferent signals is extremely important, as it lays the foundation for many other neurological reprogramming protocols for which the NEUBIE is used.’

How The NEUBIE Can Help You
Rehabilitation
Using the NEUBIE, we find exactly where dysfunctional neurological patterns exist. When we apply Neufit technology, results include improved function and an acceleration of the body’s natural healing. This allows the symptoms to dissipate more quickly than with traditional therapy.
Pain Reduction
An advanced understanding of pain is necessary to help overcome it. Because pain is a neurological output, it can be affected by neurological inputs. Pain is really in response to a perceived threat, and that threat can actually come in many forms. Several forms of threat can be addressed with a healthy lifestyle. Others, coming from inside the body, require a very targeted approach. For example, if the brain cannot tell precisely where all parts of the body are in space, then it doesn’t know what to do next and feels threatened. This is a deficit in “proprioception,” and is one of the major targets of our work.

Performance Improvement
You already possess tremendous speed, power, endurance, flexibility, and whatever else it is that you’re looking for in your training. The problem is that your brain is limiting you from expressing it. If you are capable of jumping 36 inches, but your brain only thinks you can safely land from 24 inches, guess how high you will jump… 24 inches. The brain’s NUMBER ONE priority is survival. Above all else, your brain wants to be sure you live to see tomorrow. That often means putting on the brakes, and limiting your performance to ensure that you don’t get injured and threaten survival.
Many generations ago, an injury meant that you’d be unable to run away from a predator and would, literally, have your survival threatened. Performance is, of course, an output. Most training systems try to change output – “push harder,” “shift your weight to that side,” “reach your arm higher in your throwing motion”. However, we know that output is dependent on inputs. If we can change the inputs, the outputs will naturally improve. What does this actually mean? It means that strategic joint mobility drills, neurological stimulation with the NEUBIE, lots of eccentric movement with an emphasis on position, and amplifying your ability to psychologically engage can all cause outputs to improve. The net result is increased performance, and it often happens quicker than you’d think.

Muscle Building
There are several approaches to building muscle, and they all come down to one basic premise: you have to deplete a muscle of its energy and cause break down of its structural proteins so it can grow bigger as it replenishes its energy and rebuilds its structure.
There are always two parts:
• Stimulation and depletion.
• Recovery and growth.
In the first phase, depletion, people have traditionally spent hours upon hours in the gym to achieve growth. With Neufit technology, we can intensify your workouts so much that you can get 2-3 hours worth of work accomplished in as little as 20 minutes.
During the second phase, it is necessary to get enough raw materials in to replenish the energy (carbohydrates and fat); and structural building blocks (protein) that are necessary to grow.
Why Is The NEUBIE So Revolutionary?
The Neubie, Neuro-Bio-Electric Stimulator is different from any electrical stim (eStim) machine you have ever used before. The brain and nervous system control our muscular system which regulates injury, pain, weakness, and poor movement patterns. The Neubie works directly on the connection between the nervous system and the muscle to retrain this communication to restore normal movement patterns and reduce pain.
It uses Direct Current (DC), rather than Alternating Current (AC), which research has shown to help accelerate the body’s own physiologic effects of healing, repair, and regeneration. It matches the actual signals your brain sends to your muscles for retraining your dysfunctional movement patterns. It promotes eccentric contractions which research has shown to be the most effective in rehabilitation. And…one of the most unique qualities of the NEUBIE is, it is an active therapy which involves a process called ‘mapping’. This process exactly finds your unique areas of dysfunction and targets the etim and movements specifically to you and your movement issues.
If you are suffering from ongoing pain or an injury that just won’t quite go away and allow you to get back fully to your activity or sport, adding NEUBIE therapy may help you. Many people see benefits after their first session. It may take up to 4 sessions to fully appreciate the benefits.
As I feel so passionate about how adding this technology to your care can really help you get back to what you love and progress you to the next level, we have created a great introductory package for you.

Client Success With NEUBIE Treatments
“The addition of the NEUBIE to my care at Tomsic PT is incredible and has made a dramatic difference in my recovery. I recently suffered from a neck injury and lost the use of my right shoulder. After my neck fusion surgery, my shoulder motion did not come back, and I was very concerned that this is how the rest of my life was going to be. Combining the expertise of the therapists at Tomsic PT with the technology of the Neubie, I have regained full ROM of my shoulder and plan to return to hunting with my new pup Sasha! I firmly believe I would not have the use of my arm back without the addition of the amazing NEUBIE eStim device to my care.”

“I came here because I had a diaphragm that was in paralysis and I couldn’t breath for about nine months. I moved from Kentucky to Durango to get the treatment here at Tomsic Physical Therapy. I needed to get back to life. It’s very hard for me to breath and one of the things the NEUBIE brought in was to wake up my nervous system. I’ve done about three or four sessions now, and it’s very hard to breath while I do it but the few days afterward I begin breathing much better. I actually did the sky stairs for the first time without getting dizzy or having vertigo, and I was actually breathing really really well, so it’s helped me a lot.”

“The NEUBIE has helped me in a lot of ways. I tore my ACL, MCL, and PCL in one incident. I couldn’t do squats or anything to rebuild the muscles on that leg. The NEUBIE re-trained the connection between my brain and the muscles affected from the injury. The strength in those muscles actually came back, and now I’m able to squat and strength train. Hopefully soon I can resume mountain biking and all of the activities that I love.”
