About Us

eToims® Medical Technology, LLC is a science and technology private firm that developed the proprietary Non-Invasive Electrical Twitch Obtaining Intramuscular Stimulation (ETOIMS) system.

The company was founded in mid-2006 following a trajectory of eToims®-related neuromuscular pain research that began in 1990 by Jennifer Chu, M.D., Emeritus Associate Professor at the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania where she was on faculty for 31 years.

eToims® was previously available exclusively at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Chu. also developed Automated and Needle Electrical Twitch Obtaining Intramuscular Stimulation, which were available for treatment in 1998 and were the precursors to the modern non-Invasive eToims® Technique.

eToims Soft Tissue Comfort Center (STCC)® is a leading, world-class pain diagnosis and nerve-muscle re-education center located on Philadelphia’s historic Main Line. It serves as the Center of Excellence for training eToims® Specialists, as well as for treating complex and long-standing cases of neuromuscular pain/discomfort in individuals who use the center on an out-patient basis.

The eToims® Technique is superior to traditional manual tissue mobilization/massage therapies and electrical stimulation therapies which can only reach superficial, surface muscles. The eToims® Technique penetrates deep muscle layers to mobilize muscle fibers closest to the bone and the joint, producing pain relief and range of motion enhancement not possible otherwise.

Dr. Chu also researched and enhanced eToims magnesium sulfate products that relax muscles by transdermal absorbtion essential for trigger point localization and stimulation. We are the first to demonstrate that eToims pharmaceutical grade magnesium sulfate products which are non-allergenic and non- sensitizing products can facilitate muscle relaxation providing pain relief. It is also a sleep-aid when used daily and regularly with generous application to the muscles along the entire spinal axis and the muscles surrounding painful joints and limbs.
