Meet the Founder

"Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) awakens dormant pathways, reminding muscles of their potential even in the face of neurological challenges." - Inspired by research on NMES in spinal cord injury

Introduction:

Ian Rude is a Performance Coach and key figure in the field of Interactive Neuromuscular Stimulation (iNMS), particularly through his work with top companies in the industry like NeuX Technologies, Neurological Fitness & Education, and his role at Pure Neurology, LLC.

Here’s a detailed overview of his contributions and expertise based on available public information:

Background and Expertise

Experience: Ian has over eight years of experience in Interactive Neuromuscular Stimulation and the study of Neuromuscular Re-Education, with a special interest in chronic pain conditions like Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), a condition he developed after a severe work-related injury that left him with chronic pain and disability.

Education and Skills: Ian possesses extensive expertise in Human Movement, Neurological Performance, and Neuromuscular Re-education, complemented by his certifications as a Reiki Master and Kinesiology Coach. These qualifications enhance his innovative approaches to biohacking and bodywork. Initially a Paramedic, Ian developed a passion for electrophysiology, studying under experts like Bob Page. Following a career-altering injury, he pivoted to focus on neuromuscular recovery and performance enhancement, dedicating himself to advanced education and research to master techniques for enhancing muscle function and retraining the nervous system. His work draws inspiration from pioneers such as Kotz, Tennet, Becker, McMakin, Van Der Kolk, Travell, and Simmons, among others. Ian frequently emphasizes the nervous system's role as the body's master controller, noting that while soft tissue heals, the nervous system retains memory. In this way, tapping into the nervous system has the potential to accelerate profound and lasting changes.

Leadership Roles:

Director of Neuroscience at Pure Neurology, LLC: Rude serves as a Performance Coach and subject matter expert (SME) in iNMS, integrating this technology into non-clinical wellness and longevity practices to enhance recovery and performance.

Former Director of Research at NeuX Technologies: Rude played a significant role in advancing research and application of iNMS, contributing to the development of NeuX’s technologies and applications. Including, but not limited to: Equipment R&D, The Neuro Reboot Program, Quick-Start Applications, Golf Performance, Baseball Peformance, and Provider Education.

Work with NeuX Technologies

NeuX Technologies Overview: NeuX Technologies, based in Tampa, Florida, is a medical technology company focused on developing solutions for chronic pain, musculoskeletal injuries, and performance enhancement through its proprietary Interactive Neuromuscular Stimulation (iNMS) platform. Their flagship product, the NXPro, is an FDA-cleared, Class II, over-the-counter medical device designed for pain relief, recovery, and strength and mobility improvement.

Rude’s Contributions:

Research and Development: As the former Director of Research, Rude was instrumental in advancing the scientific foundation of iNMS. His work focused on leveraging this type of technology to treat chronic pain and improve physical rehabilitation outcomes, as well as enhance human performance.

Application of iNMS: Rude’s expertise helped refine the use of iNMS, which combines a high-frequency alternating current (AC) waveform with a lower-frequency pulsed direct current (DC) waveform. This unique combination creates a smoother, more effective stimulus compared to traditional devices like TENS units, allowing for precise targeting of dysfunctional tissue to restore neuromuscular function.

Therapeutic Integration: His background in human movement and neuromuscular re-education enabled him to integrate iNMS into wellness practices, helping clients fell, move, and live better.

Interactive Neuromuscular Stimulation (iNMS)

Technology Description: iNMS, as developed by NeuX Technologies, is a non-invasive, non-pharmaceutical approach to treating chronic pain, musculoskeletal injuries, and enhancing performance. Unlike traditional neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), iNMS uses a dual-waveform approach to stimulate both muscle fibers and sensory nerves, promoting vasodilation, muscle relaxation, and enhanced neuromuscular signaling.

Potential Applications:

Chronic Pain Management: iNMS can locate and correct the root cause of issues, even when distant from the perceived area, making it uniquely effective when combined with exercise.

Rehabilitation: iNMS accelerates recovery by strengthening muscles, increasing range of motion, and promoting motor learning. It has been integrated into rehabilitation programs for conditions like diastasis recti and pelvic floor dysfunction in postpartum recovery, as well as spinal cord injury recovery, and is currently being studied for it's potential effect on Parkinson's.

Performance Enhancement: iNMS enhances athletic performance by activating the nervous system, improving muscle strength and endurance, and optimizing movement patterns. It is used by athletes, including Olympic and NFL stars, for dynamic warmups and injury prevention.

Unique Features: The NXPro’s ability to scan for dysfunctional tissue, release muscle spasms, and restore proper movement patterns sets it apart. It supports real-time feedback and customizable treatment plans, making it adaptable to individual needs.

Impact and Recognition

Pure Neurology, LLC: At Pure Neurology, Rude continues to apply iNMS in innovative ways, such as combining it with kinesiology work and bio-energetic therapies (e.g., Neu-Vibes Bio-Energy Blanket with 110hz iNMS current). His work focuses on unlocking peak performance and pain-free movement for clients, including athletes and those with chronic pain.

Industry Impact: Rude’s contributions have helped establish NeuX Technologies as a leader in neuromuscular stimulation, with partnerships like those with BirthCo. for postpartum recovery and Platinum Clubs of America for wellness and longevity programs. His work has also been recognized in collaborations with leading medical institutions and sports organizations.

Conclusion

Ian’s groundbreaking work in Interactive Neuromuscular Stimulation (iNMS) and his leadership at Pure Neurology, LLC, combined with his extensive contributions to NeuX Technologies, position him as a leading authority in human performance optimization. His deep expertise paired with his innovative biohacking approaches, has transformed countless lives. Whether you’re looking to enhance your recovery, boost athletic performance, or explore cutting-edge biohacking technologies, Ian’s insights as a Subject Matter Expert, Coach, and Speaker are invaluable. Don’t miss the opportunity to tap into his wealth of knowledge and experience.
