NEUBIE is an electrical stimulation device. Used correctly, it is a great method for NEUROMUSCULAR RE-EDUCATION. In a very short period of time, I have noticed rapid improvement in : strength, range of movement and finger manipulation. This video is a snapshot of the last 2 weeks trialling the NEUBIE. Thank you to my wonderful Exercise Physiologist, Jana, for her ongoing belief and support.
