What is PhysioKey?

PhysioKey is a hand-held device, which provides an electrical stimulus via a small electrode which is applied directly on the skin by a trained practitioner.

The sensation is of tingling and should not be unpleasant or painful.

The different characteristics of the wave form it produces can be changed by the practitioner depending on the type of pain and condition being treated.

The device has the capacity to respond to the client, and has a small screen which gives feedback to the practitioner to indicate the areas most likely to respond to treatment.

As the signal may change depending on the settings used and the response of the client, the body is unlikely to become accustomed to the signal and stop responding to the treatment.

How does it work?

The way it works is by stimulating the nervous system via the cutaneous nerves (the nerves in the skin surface) and thereby sending signals through the central nervous system, alerting the brain to areas of damage.

Another mechanism, which may not be recognised by conventional medicine, is the stimulation of a healing signal in the energy field. This is a phenomenon which was researched in the 1930s and ’40s, when Harold Saxton Burr observed that changes in the energy field preceded structural changes, but this finding became eclipsed by other exciting developments in medicine at the time (antibiotics, and the structure of DNA and all that developed from that) and is still not widely recognised or taught in medical schools.

At the same time, the science of energy medicine also suggests that other more subtle, and faster, systems in the body carry electrical messages via the connective tissue – the perineural system, perivascular system, muscle fascia and so on, which are together known as the Living Matrix, and provide support mechanisms for all the structures of the body but are largely unrecognised in western medicine.

In this way, the PhysioKey system stimulates the body to repair and heal itself.
