Main Line athletes, weekend warriors and post-op patients are all getting a charge out of the NEUBIE, the new-ish electric stimulator that Tredyffrin’s own Saquon Barkley swears by.
Only 14 providers in PA have it and only two are local: Christine Hayes Physical Therapy & Integrative Healing Center in Paoli and at Bryn Mawr Sports Rehab.
