Hi,

I’m Elena, a musculoskeletal and sports physiotherapist with over two decades of international experience.

I developed Pocket Physio because I kept running into the same problem in clinic. Many patients were too sensitive to tolerate manual therapy or too guarded to allow effective movement.

I needed a small, focal vibration tool I could use as a gentle entry point before hands on work or exercise, using neuromodulation to reduce protective muscle guarding and improve movement, but nothing suitable was available.

So I created one.

I have been using this approach in my clinical work for over 13 years. Once introduced, patients often wanted access to it themselves, as it gave them a simple way to manage symptoms between sessions and feel more in control.

Pocket Physio is an ARTG listed device designed to assist muscle tension, stiffness and fatigue, and is used both in clinic and at home. It offers a broader range of frequency settings than most devices, allowing it to be adapted across different levels of sensitivity.

More recently, an oncology lead physiotherapist came across it through an MSK colleague and introduced it into her clinical setting. She had been looking for something like this for years, particularly a device with a broader range of frequency levels. She has been using it within her treatment approach for patients with post surgical and treatment related tissue changes, which is why you are seeing it in this course.

Seeing it used in this field has been incredibly meaningful. You are working with people in complex and often difficult situations, and my hope is to support you in providing a gentle approach and extending your care through patient self management between sessions.

If it fits your practice, you can have it on hand through wholesale, or patients can order online or via your referral.

All my best,
