The sole aim of IMF Therapy is to activate the plasticity of the Central Nervous System (the ability of the CNS to re-organise itself).

We know that nerves regenerate with the aid of visualisation (E. Kendal, M. Jeannerod). Visualising a movement sends micro impulses (millionths of a volt) from the brain to the target muscles. With repetitive training, the nerves find a way for the impulses to reach the target muscles in ever increasing amounts (axon sprouting, structural plasticity). It is not unusual to find a doubling of impulse levels within the first 4 weeks.

The IMF device is used to give feedback to the muscles. This allows the user to FEEL the movement in the muscles as a result of INTENDING the movement. A re-education process is begun. Occasionally the results are spectacular within hours, but generally we see initial improvements clearly benefiting the user within one week.
