"I have been a Physiotherapist for twenty-two years and the nervous system has been an area of special interest in how frighteningly amazing it can be. I treat a cross-section of the population, as well as a select population with severe nervous system disorders. In these patients the primary symptoms are movement dysfunction and/or a severe pain disorder.I am continually looking for ways to motivate patients to achieve more pain reduction and an increase in active functional movement. When I was first introduced to the Smovey VIBROswing-System, I was unsure of what I thought. My initial reaction was that they felt good, and if they felt good for me, I thought the rings would be soothing for many chronic pain patients who were looking for a gentle way to exercise. However, in a generation of quick fixes and new products, I attempt to guide my patients as best as I can with an understanding of science. In the body we have four types of mechanoreceptors – these are the types of structures that perceive touch and sensation. The ones relevant to the Smovey rings are the Pacinian corpuscles. These are our deep touch receptors which perceive vibration and respond to frequencies between 10 – 400Hz. They are found deep in the dermis (subcutaneous fat) and in the capsules of joints. As the Smovey rings vibrate, the Hz frequency of the swinging rings stimulates our perception of vibration. This helps in gaining improved stimulus to the nervous system, and increases the stabilization signals that are produced in the joints. By using it through movement, one is stimulating a dynamic function from the nervous system and brain, while challenging function.There are not many tools on the market that assist in strengthening musculature as well as in challenging the nervous system. I have introduced the Smovey rings to several patients in our clinic and thus far, all have gained benefit.I look forward to continued use of the rings with my patients in many facets of their recovery."Belinda McDonald PT COMT TPSSignature Physical Therapy, San Clemente, CAbelinda@signaturept.com

It has been my privilege to work with people with Parkinson’s Disease for the past twelve years. I was originally asked to speak to the local support group and give a demonstration of Qigong. Attending that meeting led to my doing an intensive study of Parkinson’s and how it impacts individuals. As a Medical Exercise Specialist, I developed an exercise program for working on stimulating neurons. That program has evolved over the years. When I saw how well people were responding to using Smoveys, I decided to incorporate them in our weekly program. They have been a big hit. Most everyone who is using them feels that they are helping in slowing the progression of their disease. Besides, they have fun using them!
