Decades ago it was discovered that phantom limb pain could be treated effectively by fooling the brain into thinking that the amputated limb was still there using a mirror.  This same treatment is now employed in the treatment of stroke, CRPS and arthritis pain.

The patient puts there paralysed limb or painful hand into the mirror box hiding it from view.  The mirror reflects the “good hand and arm” and the brain starts to re-wire in the belief that the other hand and arm are working normally.

What a simple concept and how easy to do!  A mirror box costs $50 NZ and is collapsable, transportable and the mirror itself is plastic and cannot shatter.  Contact us to buy a mirror box and do this simple therapy at home.

Watch the video below for lessons in mirror box therapy.  This is followed by the neurologist who invented the treatment and a mind blowing explanation of why and how this therapy works.
