Praxismed Brings Globally Renowned EMG Expert Dr. Sanjeev Nandedkar to the Philippines for Advanced EMG Training

Manila, Philippines – Praxismed Technologies Inc. marked a significant milestone in its commitment to advancing clinical excellence in the Philippines by hosting an Advanced EMG and Nerve Conduction (NCV) Training Workshop led by internationally renowned electromyography expert Dr. Sanjeev Nandedkar, Ph.D. The two-day workshop brought world-class expertise directly to Filipino clinicians and technologists who utilize Praxismed’s EMG systems across the country. Held in August 2025 in Ortigas, Manila, the workshop was designed exclusively for hospitals and medical institutions with installed EMG and NCV systems distributed by Praxismed. The program aimed to strengthen clinical proficiency, improve diagnostic accuracy, and ensure that Filipino practitioners maximize the full capabilities of their EMG equipment through proper technique and interpretation. Dr. Nandedkar is widely regarded as one of the foremost authorities in electromyography and nerve conduction studies. A highly sought-after speaker at major international neurology, clinical neurophysiology, and EMG conventions, he has spent decades teaching clinicians how to translate complex electrophysiologic signals into meaningful clinical diagnoses.

During the workshop, Dr. Nandedkar shared both foundational concepts and advanced clinical applications. Topics included volume conduction principles, needle EMG techniques, motor and sensory nerve conduction studies, late responses such as F-waves and H-reflexes, repetitive nerve stimulation, and single-fiber EMG concepts. The program combined lectures with live demonstrations and case-based discussions, allowing participants to engage directly with one of the field’s most respected educators. “High-quality EMG practice depends not only on technology, but on a deep understanding of physiology and proper technique,” said Dr. Sanjeev Nandedkar. “I was encouraged by the level of engagement from Filipino clinicians and technologists, and I am pleased to see a strong commitment to raising the standard of neurodiagnostic practice in the Philippines.” The training also emphasized standardized practices, clinical correlation, and ethical application of EMG and NCV studies. Participants were encouraged to raise questions, review challenging cases, and refine their diagnostic approach under close guidance.

Gamifying the experience helps people stay engaged and view every session as an opportunity to level up.”

Challenges, Rewards, and a Supportive Community

Members are invited to take part in app-based challenges, from weekly workout targets to group milestones. With each completed session, they earn points that bring a sense of achievement and tangible rewards.

Another fun activity that feels like play is hula hooping. This can be a great option if you want to improve your coordination and strengthen your core without the heavy lifting. It can also be a fun bonding activity with the kids in your household.

Sweat it out on a bike

Biking continues to be a popular activity across multiple generations. If you’ve always wanted to learn how to ride a bike, now’s the time to do it. You can also sign up for indoor biking classes, where you can pedal to lively beats and meet new people.

Run with friends

Running clubs are all over social media these days. Running has grown from being an activity to increase stamina and stay in shape to a community-building effort.

Grab your friends and create your own mini-running club to get your steps in. After all, exercising with friends can be a fun time.

Learn the ropes

Jump rope can be a fun workout to try because it feels like you’re just playing outside. You can even elevate your experience by jumping to some hip music and learning trendy tricks. This was one of the interactive classes enjoyed by the attendees of the NOVAmazing Moves pop-ups where they learned the basics and a few fun tricks.

These are just some quick and simple activities that can bring activeness and movement to your lifestyle. You can easily make your own NOVAmazing day by treating yourself with a bag of Jack ‘n Jill Nova, which comes in Country Cheddar, Homestyle BBQ, and Sweet Chili flavors.

Empowering Girls One CHARMEE Napkin at a Time

Empowering Girls One CHARMEE Napkin at a Time

As a young lady going through this exciting journey of self-discovery and girlhood, you might often find yourself feeling lost or confused about many things – be it about relationships, consent, sex, contraception, and overall female reproductive health.

Don’t worry, you are not alone through all these! CHARMEE, one of the leading trusted feminine protection brands in the Philippines, can be your bestie and support system.

CHARMEE, together with Roots of Health, a highly respected reproductive health organization based in the Philippines, and an all-women team from the advertising agency Blackpencil Manila of the Leo Burnett Group celebrated girls through Project Roots where they learned correct information on sexual health, contraception, consent, and healthy relationships engagingly.

The project kicked off at Palawan High School, the second largest high school in the country, and was made more relatable and fun through interactive activities and colorful storytelling delivered through a surprising media – sanitary napkins!

Dear Diary

The activity opened with the female students being welcomed with the PAD-ibig Diary shelf that has a total of 24 diary designs and stories, all wrapped around CHARMEE feminine pads, open to the students to grab one for free.

Fun and visually appealing, these diaries contain “nakakakilig” stories with evidence-based scientific information, tackling important lessons on sexual education, spanning from busting common myths on reproduction and pregnancy to the basics of consent, healthy relationships, and communication.

To make it even more interesting and interactive, the activity included a dramatic reading by some of the school’s best actresses of some of the diary entries. The students were also encouraged to take selfies with the self-care mirrors scattered around the school gym.

Just Between Us Girls

The fun learning sessions didn’t end there as a more in-depth talk with Roots of Health educators took place. The entertaining and engaging segment talked about the science behind what was “Chismis or Check” or true or false about sex and female health.

But even after the learning sessions concluded at Palawan National High School, empowering and supporting more than 5,000 female high school students continued. The PAD-ibig Diary shelf was placed in the school’s clinic, available for female students who need it.

Ensuring educational resources are readily available, murals in the girls’ toilets and by the clinic were also created as reminders. Roots of Health has also uploaded the PAD-ibig Diary stories online for easy viewing anytime. Not only that, but girls can also visit the organization’s Youth Clinics and regular TikTok Live Sessions called “Safe Magtanong Dito” where more questions can be asked and answered by credible educators.

Beyond the Feminine Pad

But this is just the beginning for CHARMEE! So many more young and adult women can watch out for the brand’s nationwide School Tour Activation in 2024, reaching girls from grades 7 to 12 (12 to 15 years old), and giving away sanitary napkin and pantyliner product samples. Aside from making sanitary pads accessible to young girls, this School Tour initiative also aims to educate the students on menstruation and proper menstrual hygiene practices through an educational flyer.

On top of these exciting events, CHARMEE will also launch digital educational campaigns about Menstrual Hygiene and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

From PAD-ibig Diaries to educational campaigns, CHARMEE will continue to reach its goal of empowering girls and becoming their dependable partner in their journey to womanhood.
