Therapy options have
vastly improved for Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis, stroke, balance and other
patients with physical challenges. Most
recently two new physical therapy centers imported from Switzerland a proven,
technologically advanced, FDA approved medical device specifically designed to
help people with movement disorders.
Successfully treating patients for over 20 years in Europe, the GIGERMD®
medical device was designed by Adrian Giger out of the compassion and love for
a family member suffering from the limitations brought on by MS. What is so unique about the Swiss-made
GIGERMD® medical device? The medical GIGERMD®
device offers a painless way to re-educate the muscles, adjust heart rate
and/or activate other muscles with less than a pound of resistance.

The GIGERMD® medical device also incorporates
active biofeedback technology to provide audio-visual stimulation in
combination with coordinated movements of the limbs. This biofeedback portion can be used to train
patients how to manage or change troublesome physical symptoms using a
non-invasive process. This is what makes
the GIGERMD® medical device so unique; a physical and visual stimulus that
directs a patient to maximize the benefits of therapy with minimal discomfort
or resistance.

An added advantage of
the GIGERMD® medical device is that it records each session so progress is
measured and available for review at the end of every session. No other therapy or medical device in the US
can offer a therapy patient so much and so easily.

Patients have travelled
from New Jersey, Boston, MA; Austin, TX and Naples, FL just to have a session
with the GIGERMD® medical device.
Testimonies from patients treated on the GIGERMD® medical device include
statements like, “it’s the best investment I have made in my healthcare “and
“We both believe the equipment was beneficial for his overall physical therapy
and was as responsible as the other exercises to his improved movements.”
