The Physiokey® pain therapy is a treatment method in which a handheld device sends electrical impulses, adjusted to the body's feedback, to relieve pain and promote the body's natural healing.
The Physiokey® pain therapy was developed in the 2000s as an advancement of SCENAR technology. This technology was developed in the 1970s for space medicine to assist cosmonauts with pain management and healing in space. The Physiokey® technology utilizes these insights and makes the application user-friendly. The goal is to use impulses to alleviate pain and promote the body's natural healing.
The Physiokey® pain therapy is an advanced, non-invasive method for pain relief. It uses a handheld device that delivers electrical impulses to the skin. These impulses stimulate the nerves and can promote the body's natural healing processes. A distinctive feature of this therapy is the integrated biofeedback system, which continuously measures skin resistance and adjusts the intensity and frequency of the impulses in real-time. This allows the therapy to be tailored to your individual needs.
The mechanism of action of the Physiokey® pain therapy is based on four main processes: impulse delivery, impulse absorption, impulse transmission, and adaptive impulse adjustment. The device sends biphasic, sinusoidal impulses to the skin, which are transmitted to the brain via the nervous system and connective tissue. The body responds with a specific "feedback reaction," which is captured by the device and used to continuously adjust the therapy impulses. This dynamic interaction allows for flexible and effective treatment that adapts to the patient's physiological changes, thereby promoting pain relief and healing.
At Circle Health, the therapy process begins with a thorough consultation to understand your specific complaints and identify the painful areas as well as their potential causes. You don't need to bring anything – just come as you are. During the treatment, you will take a comfortable position, either lying down or sitting, depending on your needs and comfort. We then apply the Physiokey® device to the affected skin areas. We often combine this method with an osteopathy session to enhance its effectiveness.
During the session, the electrical impulses modulate the pain signals sent by the nervous system to the brain and can also promote the release of endorphins, your body’s natural painkillers. The form and duration of the therapy can be adjusted according to individual needs, allowing you to be treated in various positions. However, the average treatment duration is 30 minutes.
Together, we will determine the intensity and frequency that is suitable for you, always prioritizing your well-being.

Many patients report noticeable pain relief after the first or the first few treatments. The number of sessions required depends on the severity of your condition and your response to the stimulus. Many patients experience lasting improvement after 3-4 applications.
For acute pain, we often recommend treatments 2-3 times per week. For chronic conditions, there should be a one-week interval between sessions. The frequency and duration of therapy depend on your specific diagnosis and your body's responsiveness.
The Physiokey® therapy is a non-invasive treatment method with minimal to no side effects. In rare cases, there may be temporary heightened reactions or slight redness at the treated site, which quickly subside.
While the Physiokey® therapy is safe for most people, there are some contraindications. These include pregnancy, the presence of a pacemaker, or severe cardiovascular diseases.
Before starting any therapy, we conduct a thorough medical history with you to ensure that none of these contraindications apply to you before you begin the treatment.
