"During the 2010 World Cup Finals (in South Africa) we used Synapse micro-current system for some of our players (England) who were suffering with chronic Tendonopathy. The feedback we received from the players was very good, they felt it helped relieve their morning stiffness and reduced their pain throughout the tournament. |

The Synapse micro-current technology has been used on a number of Gloucester Rugby players. With its ability of speeding up the body's natural healing process it has proved to be a really efficient addition to the treatment of tendon and soft tissue injuries. The Tendonworks unit has recently helped one key first team player recover from a ruptured Achilles tendon. After using the unit daily, as recommended, he was back playing 6 weeks sooner than I would have expected. Synapse micro-current Tendonworks unit is simply the best. Under the guidance of my club physio, Bob Stewart, the unit helped me recover from a very serious injury. Amazingly I was back playing premiership rugby 6 weeks sooner than was initially predicted.
I have been using Tendonworks on an ongoing basis for quite a while. It is so easy to use and has helped me recover much quicker than I would normally expect from various injuries sustained during the season. In my view it is 'must have' item in your kit bag, for any sportsman, no matter what the sport!
After having an operation on my ruptured Achilles tendon, I started using the Synapse micro current Tendonworks unit. Under a controlled treatment programme, the easy to use Tendonworks unit, gave me instant relief from the discomfort of surgery. Using the unit got me back playing football much sooner than expected, as Captain of the club, this was really important to me. My injured leg now feels stronger and I am told that the same injury should not recur. |

Wound
Healing A gentleman with a chronic non-healing wound is providing a possible reason as to why this type of problem wound will not heal. The tissue viability specialist treating the case comments that ‘his graph shows that when he stops with the Synapse treatment the line goes up (indicating that the wound is deteriorating) and when we recommence with the Synapse treatment, the line goes down indicating healing. This gives a very definite indication that he will not heal unless he has the Synapse treatment’. The specialist wound clinic are intending to take the wound to full healing to demonstrate this fact. This case suggests that electricity, inherent within the body, has a vital role to play in tissue repair and this biological circuitry may be disrupted or halted when tissue is damaged. The application of the patented Synapse’s protocol suggests that this treatment reignites this process. |

John Smiths Grand National Synapse x 3 At the time of going to press three horses, likely
to run in Saturdays John Smith’s Grand National have been treated
using Synapse’s patented tendon technology. Dr David Chapman-Jones
comments ‘We suspect that a cause of tendon problems in humans
and racehorses is reduced cellular activity in tendon cells resulting
in degenerative type pathology making the tendon structure vulnerable
to breakdown. In addition to treating tendons once a problem has
occurred the cell stimulating treatment regime is now being used
to help prevent tendon problems which is a very positive advancement. |

| "Can Electricity Mend My Broken Neck" | ||
Dr Chapman-Jones first investigated
the idea of helping spinal injury victims in experiments in his laboratory.
He says: 'I put two pieces of separated nerve tissue in a dish and
then subjected the dish to microcurrent using electricity equivalent
to one-millionth the power of a torch battery. Not only did the the nerve tissue regenerate and join, but the fibres in the nerve joined correctly. |
