Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM)
In collaboration with Kim Pittis · FSM Sports 365
What FSM Is — and Why It’s Different
Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) is not conventional electrical stimulation. Traditional e-stim creates muscle contractions and operates at current levels the nervous system perceives. FSM operates at a fundamentally different scale — delivering electrical currents measured in millionths of an ampere, typically below the threshold of conscious sensation, that interact directly with cellular electrical properties rather than stimulating gross muscle or nerve response.
Every tissue in the body has a characteristic electrical resonance. FSM exploits this by delivering specific frequency combinations selected to match the electrical properties of the target tissue and the pathological condition being addressed. The goal is to normalize cellular electrical activity — restoring the membrane potential, ion channel function, and intracellular signaling that healthy tissue maintains and damaged or inflamed tissue loses.
When PBM is applied prior to PRP or BMAC injection, it increases growth factor receptor density on cell surfaces and enhances tissue perfusion — creating a more receptive environment for the injected biological material. Post-injection, laser reduces procedural inflammation and extends the regenerative signaling window. The combination produces outcomes neither intervention achieves alone.
Acute injuries typically respond well to 3–6 sessions. Chronic conditions and post-surgical recovery protocols often require 10 or more sessions. Protocol is determined at clinical evaluation.
MEET Kim Pittis
Performance Therapist & FSM Specialist
Kim Pittis is a highly experienced performance therapist and one of the most respected FSM practitioners working in sports medicine today. Her background integrates soft tissue therapy, movement assessment, fascial release, and advanced FSM protocols — applied across a patient base that includes professional and competitive athletes, post-surgical patients, and individuals dealing with complex chronic pain.
Kim’s clinical approach is mechanistic rather than symptomatic — she identifies the tissue-level cause of dysfunction rather than treating the presenting symptom. Her integration of hands-on soft tissue work with FSM frequency protocols produces outcomes that neither approach achieves in isolation.
Kim works with our clinical team at MASI Clinic San Jose (Santana Row).
The MASI Method
Dr. Masi’s four-pillar approach to healing and performance integrates soul, structure, biology, and mindset. Mana is the life force that encompasses and is at the root of all, inherent in each individual and honoring the deeper connection between spirit, purpose, and healing. The Anatomical pillar focuses on structural care through orthopedic expertise, surgery, and rehabilitation. The Systemic pillar addresses cellular and physiological healing with regenerative therapies such as stem cells, PRP, peptides, and anti-inflammatory protocols. Finally, the Interoception pillar centers on mindset and self-awareness—cultivating belief, agency, and resilience as essential drivers of recovery and long-term performance.
