How does InterX work?
Interactive Neuro Stimulation (INS) therapy was developed by Russian Scientists in the 1970s as an offshoot of their space programme. They needed a treatment to keep cosmonauts in optimum health but one that was portable, non-invasive and did not involve needles or drugs. The resulting small INS device looks similar to a TV remote control goes under names of Scenar and InterX.
The InterX is a class II medical device that uses electrical stimulation using high amplitude, high density current and damped biphasic electrical impulses that are delivered to the tissues by electrode pads delivered directly to the skin. This stimulates cutaneous nerve endings which in turn triggers the bodies pain relieving mechanisms
It is a form of electrical therapy that uses micro- current electrical stimulation. When applied to the skin it works by mimicking the body's own bioelectrical system. It restores the balance and kick-starts the body's own healing process. The treatment can also work by energising the whole body at a cellular level. Recent studies show the InterX jump-starts and reignites cellular energetic processes leading to restoration of cellular health. The electrical impulses travel along the nerve fibres to the brain where they trigger the release of certain chemicals such as endorphins (the body's own painkillers) and neuropeptides (regulators for healing, repair, inflammation, hormones and mood regulators etc.). These chemicals then enter the blood stream and have an effect through the whole body. This advanced technology was also researched in the USA and the InterX device was launched there in 2005.The device is now routinely used by therapists worldwide.
Clinically Proven
The InterX has behind it Peer reviewed, randomized, controlled clinical trials that have shown statistically significant results in the following:
Reduced Pain
Reduced Medication Intake
Increased Range of Motion

Therapy Sessions
A course is typically 3 to 6 treatments, but can be less or more depending on the injury.
This therapy may be combined with FlexBEAM Red light therapy for a powerful therapy combination.
Sessions Typically last 30 minutes and cost £48 per session
The first session will last approximately 45 minutes to incorporate a consultation.
