Turning Point
I’m Pauline Walton, founder of SenSci® and Terahertz Hydrodynamic Therapy® (THT). I am a pensioner with an active mind and plenty of determination. This is my story.
My musculoskeletal (MSK) journey of discovery began in early lockdown, just after handing in my thesis. I was in too much pain to think or write any more and I knew I needed to heal. Over the next five years I explored every (MSK) approach I could find for relief: hands-on therapy, endless websites, and mountains of academic research. Then I found something unexpected: Terahertz stone wellness tools - what I learned changed everything.

How does water flow help musculoskeletal health?
Water is special. At home, we see water in many states - freely flowing liquid in a glass, ice in the freezer, or steam from a kettle. Inside the body, water constitutes some 60% of our total body weight and performs essential biological tasks. Around a quarter of this water is freely flowing in the interstitial tissues. [1-3]
The interstitial tissues form a continuous hydrodynamic matrix throughout the body, and this free flow of water is vital to our healthy form and function. The interstitial fluids give our bodies form, for example by separating and lubricating the bones, organs, muscles and ligaments. The fluids also perform many other functions, including the supply of proteins for tissue repair and physiological waste disposal. Disruption of the interstitial fluid flow (IFF) is linked to pathological conditions such as long-term scarring, chronic inflammation, fibrosis, and musculoskeletal stiffness. [4-6]
Musculoskeletal health relies on water flowing freely through the interstitial matrix. [7; 8]

What Lies Beneath…
Inflammation, Stiffness, Pain & Aging
IFF: The Forgotten Healing System
Aging bodies face silent struggles - unexplained fatigue, slow healing, stiffness, and chronic pain. In today’s world, these are seen as inevitable, just part of growing older. Medical research into aging tends to be fragmented, with funding directed toward specific conditions like Alzheimer’s - those with clearly defined symptoms and strong charitable backing. In contrast, complex, systemic issues like musculoskeletal decline receive far less attention, often dismissed as natural or too broad to treat.
But what if inflammation, stiffness and chronic pain aren’t just symptoms of aging - but signs of a preventable and reversible physiological process?
Beneath the surface lies a vast, fluid-connected network - the interstitial system - poorly understood, rarely targeted, yet central to how we feel, move, heal, and age. Dynamic Interstitial Fluid Flows (IFF) are essential to maintaining tissue health. When IFF slows or becomes disrupted, tissue oxygenation, nutrient delivery, and cellular communication all decline - allowing pain, stiffness, and degeneration to take hold. [1-4]
Emerging research suggests that improving local IFF could significantly support the remodelling of fibrotic or scarred tissue by restoring oxygenation, nutrient exchange, and cellular signalling. However, meaningful local changes in IFF require stimulation of the entire interstitial system - creating favourable hydrodynamic gradients that encourage the body to circulate its internal fluids more effectively, and ultimately, to heal itself. [5-8]
Restore The IFF: Restore Health
As we age, heal, and hurt, Interstital Fluid Flows (IFF) remain overlooked, underfunded, misunderstood, and missing from mainstream treatment strategies. Yet research is increasingly clear: to support deep, lasting healing and true wellness, therapies must engage the interstitial system at a whole-body level. This calls for a shift - in both therapeutic mindset and method. Practitioners need tools that go beyond surface treatments, capable of making systemic, measurable changes to tissue health and hydration. What’s needed now is a gentle, non-invasive way to restore the body’s internal fluid dynamics - allowing even long-standing tissue damage to start healing naturally.
