The Marcus Method
Together with the Stevens Institute of Technology’s Biomedical Engineering Department, he developed The Muscle Pain Detector (MPDD), a state-of-the-art pain-detection instrument which electrically identifies the specific muscle(s) causing pain in a region of the body. This device has been validated in a double-blind randomized controlled trial at the NYU School of Medicine.
