Neil Smith is one of the few endorsed users of the Winks Greene Transeva in the UK, a specifically designed therapeutic machine that uses Faradic currents to treat injuries in people and horses. Low-frequency Faradic currents (typically with pulse repetition rates of 50–100 cycles per second) enable electrodiagnosis and treatment of muscle and associated injuries.
