How Kneease works

The Kneease device generates high-frequency vibration to pass pulses through the skin to the sciatic nerve. Pain is transmitted as impulses in the large sensory fibres of the body and by applying a certain frequency to the area of pain, it interacts with the pain impulse transmissions, causing disruption. The pulses are effectively ‘scrambling’ the sensory impulses to the extent that they cannot be interpreted as pain signals by the brain. This helps to alleviate the pain from the condition.

kneease comes with 10 pre-programmed settings for amplitude, frequency and pulse. The settings are pre-set and controlled by a micro-controller inside the device. Repeated pressing of the activation button cycles through the pulse modes. The device is rechargeable using the supplied cable and comes with two soft velcro straps for fitting to the body.

Shockwave therapy has been an established treatment for many conditions for over 20 years. It has a combined effect of pain relief (using the gate control process) and stimulating the formation of new blood vessels. This increases the blood supply to the afflicted area, accelerating recovery.

This is a treatment modality approved by NICE, the National Institute for Health & Care Excellence.
