What is Dolphin Neurostim?

Dolphin Neurostim is a hand-held device used for Microcurrent Point Stimulation, or MPS. It applies brief, low-level direct-current stimulation to selected points on the skin. Steve offers standalone MPS as a distinct, non-RMT service. It may also be considered within a broader care plan, but it is not a replacement for appropriate medical assessment.

What can a session feel like?

The device is applied point by point. People may notice a light tapping, tingling, or pinching sensation; intensity and technique are adjusted to comfort. Before using it, we review relevant health information, explain the proposed application, and obtain your consent.

Where might it fit?

MPS may be considered when the treatment goal involves soft-tissue discomfort, sensitivity, scar-related concerns, relaxation, or movement tolerance. Whether it is appropriate depends on your presentation, preferences, precautions, and response.

It is one option within a broader plan that can also include registered massage therapy, progressive exercise, and self-management strategies.

Standalone MPS is not billed as Registered Massage Therapy, and no RMT insurance receipt is issued. Clients who may have separate electrotherapy or health spending account coverage must confirm eligibility directly with their insurer before booking.

What it is not

MPS is not a diagnosis, a guaranteed fix, or a substitute for urgent or medically necessary care. Steve does not assess, diagnose, clear, or treat concussion. If your symptoms require assessment by a physician or another regulated professional, referral is the right next step.
