The technology
Seeing muscle activity, in real time
We use the Pathway MR-20, a dual-channel surface EMG system. Small sensors detect the electrical activity of muscles and display it as a live graph — making something you can't see easy to understand.
Depending on your needs, an internal sensor may be recommended. Every option is explained beforehand, and nothing proceeds without your informed consent.
What to expect
Three calm, clear steps
01
Request & referral
Reach out directly or through your physician or physical therapist. We review your goals and confirm the visit fits.
02
Assessment & consent
We explain each step, discuss sensor options and obtain your informed consent before any measurement.
03
Report & next steps
You receive a structured report, shared with your referring provider as appropriate, and a plan for what comes next.
For physicians & physical therapists
Objective data to support your plan of care
Structured EMG testing, a concise report, and patients returned to your care as appropriate.
FAQ
Questions, answered
Is the assessment painful?
Most people find it comfortable. Surface sensors rest on the skin. If an internal sensor is suggested, we explain why and you decide whether to proceed.
Do I need a referral?
Many patients are referred by a physician or physical therapist. Self-referral options will be confirmed before launch.
Will this diagnose my condition?
No. Biofeedback measures muscle activity patterns. Findings are shared with you and, as appropriate, your provider, who considers them within your overall care.
What should I wear or bring?
Comfortable clothing and any relevant notes from your provider. Detailed preparation instructions are shared before your visit.
Is insurance accepted?
Pricing and payment options are still being finalized. Current prices are provisional.
