Mental Health Awareness Month at FYZICAL Butler

May is Mental Health Month!

This is a time to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and prioritize mental well-being. It's important to start conversations about mental health, support each other, and promote self-care practices!

How does our NEUBIE device assist in mental health care?

The NEUBIE device, a form of direct current electrical stimulation, is used in physical therapy to address various health concerns, including those related to mental well-being. It works by modulating the nervous system, helping to shift the body from a "fight-or-flight" state to a "rest-and-digest" state, which can improve digestion, brain function, and overall mental well-being.  

• Stress and Anxiety Reduction:

  The NEUBIE can help calm the body's stress response by modulating the autonomic nervous system, which is responsible for regulating the body's involuntary functions like heart rate and digestion. This can lead to a reduction in stress, anxiety, and emotional dysregulation. 

   
• Improved Sleep Quality:

  By promoting a shift towards a more restorative state, the NEUBIE can also improve sleep quality, which is crucial for mental health. 

   
• Chronic Fatigue Syndrome:

  The NEUBIE can be used to manage chronic fatigue syndrome by helping to re-establish normal autonomic nervous system function and reducing fatigue symptoms. 

   

  Pain Management:

  Chronic pain can have a significant impact on mental health. The NEUBIE can help reduce pain sensitivity and central sensitization, contributing to improved mental well-being.

   
• Muscle Tension and Guarding:

  Reduced muscle tension and guarding can contribute to a sense of calmness and relaxation, further supporting mental health.
