What Is MPS Therapy?

Understanding Microcurrent Point Stimulation for Pain and Scar Care

Have you ever heard of microcurrent therapy?

There are many tools available today that complement traditional hands-on therapeutic care, and one you may not know about is MPS Therapy.

MPS stands for Microcurrent Point Stimulation. It is a specialized technique that combines principles of acupuncture, neurology, and microcurrent stimulation.

At Sports Massage & Rehabilitation, we offer MPS as another option within our individualized therapeutic approach.

What Exactly Is MPS Therapy?

MPS uses gentle electrical impulses applied to selected points on the body.

Unlike conventional electrical stimulation devices designed primarily to activate muscles, MPS focuses on specific neurological and acupuncture-related points.

The technique is intended to work with the body’s nervous system and soft tissue response.

It is a specialized modality that can be incorporated into a broader therapeutic care plan.

Why Is Scar Tissue Part of the Conversation?

When we think about scars, we often think about what we can see on the surface of the skin.

However, scar tissue can involve deeper layers of connective tissue.

Depending on the location, depth, and characteristics of a scar, it may be associated with tightness, sensitivity, or restrictions in surrounding tissue movement.

This can be particularly relevant when considering:

• Surgical scars.

• Old injury scars.

• Areas of restricted soft tissue movement.

• Discomfort around healed injuries.

• Scars that feel tight or sensitive.

MPS Pain & Scar Therapy is one approach that may be considered when working with these concerns.

Is MPS the Same as Massage?

No.

Massage involves hands-on techniques that work with muscles and soft tissues.

MPS uses a specialized microcurrent device and point-stimulation techniques.

They serve different purposes and may be considered separately or as complementary parts of an individualized approach.

Is MPS Right for Everyone?

Not necessarily.

A person’s medical history, skin condition, implanted medical devices, pregnancy status, and other health considerations may influence whether this therapy is appropriate.

A consultation helps determine whether MPS is a reasonable option or whether another approach would be more suitable.
