The PUC-RS Rehabilitation Center has established itself as a reference in the health field, especially when it comes to the recovery and improved quality of life of its patients.

Part of this success is due to the constant pursuit of technological innovation, which helps professionals achieve faster and more effective results. The recent partnership with Tonederm is a clear example of this commitment to innovation.

This collaboration includes the use of Níoo Fitness, a full-body muscle electrostimulation device, which has broadened the horizons of the treatment offered at the center, including for patients with neurological conditions.
 

Níoo Fitness exceeded initial expectations

The relationship between Tonederm and the PUC-RS Rehabilitation Center began a little over a year ago, when the center acquired the company's first devices. At the institution, professor and multisport coordinator Márcio Muller was the first to test Níoo.

The PUC-RS Rehabilitation Center is an institution of excellence with 20 years of operation, offering a wide range of services in cardiopulmonary, neurofunctional, musculoskeletal and pelvic rehabilitation, as well as aquatic physical therapy and Global Postural Reeducation (RPG).

According to Professor Pedro Henrique Deon, the Center's coordinator, the use of Níoo Fitness has expanded beyond initial expectations, which were to improve musculoskeletal and aesthetic treatments.

The partnership between PUC-RS and Tonederm is an example of how technology can transform health care. The introduction of Níoo Fitness has shown that innovation is essential to meet the growing demands of the population.

"Today's patients expect to find the most modern options available, and with Níoo Fitness, we are meeting that expectation," says the coordinator.
 

Níoo goes beyond fitness

Níoo's versatility surprised the team, proving effective in neurorehabilitation as well. According to Charlene Brito, CEO of CB Move Neuroscience, a company that operates within the Center, the use of Níoo Fitness has been diversified.

"We have been able to apply the device in aesthetic, musculoskeletal and neurological treatments, with very positive results," she explains.

Charlene says that CB Move's partnership, which specializes in neurological rehabilitation, began three years ago, driven by PUC-RS's interest in working with new partners and also serving this area.

Deon describes the results obtained with neurological patients as positive, including from a clinical standpoint.
 

New treatment possibilities

The versatility of Níoo Fitness also sparked a desire among the Center's professionals to research new treatment possibilities. Pelvic rehabilitation, which is part of the services offered by PUC-RS, is one of those possibilities.

Deon notes: "We started researching ways to use the device in gynecology and pelvic rehabilitation as well, in addition to neurorehabilitation and fitness."
 

The benefit of muscle electrostimulation

In a world where the pursuit of quality of life is constantly growing, the PUC-RS Rehabilitation Center stands out as a beacon of innovation and excellence in its care. Technology plays a fundamental role in this process.

The use of muscle electrostimulation (EMS) is advantageous both for patients, who feel engaged with their treatments, and for students, who see an opportunity to specialize through the use of innovative methods.
 

“Technology needs to deliver solutions”

Pedro Henrique Deon, who works in aquatic physical therapy, has been at the Rehabilitation Center since the start of the project in 2004. Today, he sees technology consolidating as a great ally in day-to-day work.

He goes further, stressing that technology needs to deliver solutions and make sense in the patient's treatment. That is exactly what people expect when they come to the institution.

"At PUC-RS, patients expect the best. So we need to be prepared for that, supported by technology that delivers solutions. The combination of skilled professionals and technological infrastructure defines our excellence," he explains.

For PUC-RS professor and multisport coordinator Márcio Muller, attention to health has increased significantly, driven by greater access to information and new care possibilities.

"The new resources have been helping us with that. Technology is a complement to professionals' daily work," he sums up.
 

“They feel better after the sessions”

Another crucial point is the positive impact on patient motivation. Pedro Henrique Deon believes that people are more motivated to address their difficulties when technology is used, promoting greater adherence to the rehabilitation process.

"We can see these patients' confidence, and that is what leads to satisfactory results. Technology, therefore, helps patients stick with their treatment," he assesses.

Patient feedback attests to the effectiveness of treatments with Níoo. "They feel better after the sessions, reporting that they are relearning how to use their muscles. That increases confidence and adherence to treatment, which are essential factors for rehabilitation success," he points out.

Deon concludes: "Níoo Fitness is a robust, safe device that tolerates repeated use. We have seen very effective clinical results day to day. At the same time, it is a source of pride that it comes from a company from Rio Grande do Sul."
 

Partnership and technology for the benefit of life

The partnership between Tonederm and the PUC-RS Rehabilitation Center is an example of how technology can transform health care. Níoo Fitness has not only broadened the scope of the treatments offered by the center, but also delivered faster and more effective results for patients.

By combining cutting-edge technology with a highly skilled team, the Rehabilitation Center reaffirms its commitment to excellence and innovation.

Muscle electrostimulation is, without a doubt, one of the great allies in the rehabilitation process, and Tonederm's Níoo Fitness plays a fundamental role in this context.
