This page sets out the medical and safety boundaries around Stedara, including what the program is, what it is not, and when medical advice should come before participation.
A structured educational program for appropriately screened adults.
It is not personal medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or clinical care, and it does not replace assessment where that is needed.
If symptoms are new, worsening, unexplained, painful, or concerning, medical review should come first.
This section sets the medical boundary around the program and how the content should be understood.
The Stedara services provide a structured educational program for symptom-management self-evaluation in appropriately screened adults.
The program draws on a tibial nerve stimulation principle used in overactive bladder care. It should not be understood as a claim that the full Stedara program, in its current consumer format, has itself been formally trialled or clinically validated as a complete program.
The content provided through the services is not personal medical advice, does not diagnose any condition, and does not replace clinical assessment, diagnosis, treatment, or professional medical opinion.
Using the program does not create an individual clinical relationship or personalised medical supervision.
Participation in the services does not create a therapeutic, clinical, healthcare provider, or clinician–patient relationship of any kind.
No individualised medical guidance, diagnosis, or treatment is provided through the services.
Medical advice should come first if there are warning signs, changing symptoms, or anything that makes participation medically uncertain.
Medical advice should come first if your symptoms are new, worsening, unexplained, painful, or otherwise concerning. This may include:
Urgent symptoms require immediate medical attention. Do not delay seeking care because of this program.
TENS use should be approached cautiously. Screening helps identify obvious exclusions, but safe use still depends on the user applying the setup sensibly and recognising when not to proceed.
Users are responsible for selecting and using any TENS unit sensibly and in accordance with manufacturer instructions. Stedara screening is based on self-reported responses, exclusions, and safety criteria. It does not diagnose conditions, provide individual treatment, or predict outcomes.
Stedara may not be appropriate where TENS use is not sensible or safe, or where reduced sensation, uncertainty about tolerability, difficulty applying the method safely, or medical concerns make self-use inappropriate.
TENS units must not be used if contraindications apply, including but not limited to:
Follow manufacturer instructions at all times. Stedara does not supply, approve, recommend, or endorse any specific TENS unit brand or supplier.
Responses can differ significantly between individuals. The program is designed to help users observe their own response carefully, not to promise a particular result.
We make no guarantee of individual response, benefit, symptom improvement, or suitability. Outcomes vary between participants.
The Stedara Method is designed as a structured self-evaluation framework to help users judge their own response carefully. It is not a guarantee of benefit and should not be treated as a substitute for proper medical assessment where that is needed.
Participation is voluntary and at your own risk. If at any point you are unsure whether participation is appropriate for you, seek medical advice before proceeding.
