Re: To TES or not to TES that is the question

after a certain point in TES don't you then switch to NMES and then it has a better chance of staying strong? I thought that was the way it went but we are still on the TES part but thought that we would be going to nmes at some point and moving our tes to another group of muscles.

Dr.Pape is good at nonsurgical treatment options that can also be used in conjunction with surgical technique...
