RAMONA VON LEDEN & WINBACK: The New Frontier of Non-Invasive Healing

 *A HealthTech Reporter & IPHA Feature -in Collaboration with the AngioInstitute Research Group*

When leaders across non-invasive medicine gather to explore the future of therapeutic science, certain voices immediately rise above the noise. In the recent joint meeting between the Integrative Pain Healers Alliance (IPHA),  one such voice was unmistakably clear: Ramona von Leden, Senior Director of U.S. Medical Affairs for WINBACK America.

With a PhD in neuroscience, a decorated background in inflammation research, and five years serving as Director and Vice President of Research & Education for NeuFit, Ramona embodies a new model of scientific leadership—merging academic rigor with disruptive clinical innovation. Her role at WINBACK marks a critical milestone for a company poised to redefine radiofrequency therapy in the United States.


A Scientist at the Helm

Ramona’s entrance into the WINBACK ecosystem came with purpose and urgency. “I joined the team only three months ago… to expand our scientific efforts on this side of the pond,” she shared, noting the company’s rapid growth and the need for strong research guidance as the brand accelerates its U.S. presence.

WINBACK, originally founded in France in 2012, has long been regarded in Europe as an innovator in TECAR/RF therapy—a modality built on radiofrequency energy designed to accelerate tissue healing, reduce inflammation, and support cellular function. Yet the United States remains largely underdeveloped in its adoption of these tools. Ramona understands this gap well: “All of our research has been in Europe… but clinical validation in the U.S. is essential for the next phase of growth.

Her scientific philosophy is refreshingly clear-cut: technology must match the body’s natural intelligence. “The body can heal itself, but sometimes it just needs the right support,” she explained, reflecting on her transition away from pharmaceutical-based inflammation studies and into regenerative medicine.


WINBACK’s Signature Breakthrough: Radiofrequency as a Recovery Enhancer

When Ramona describes WINBACK technology, it becomes immediately evident that this is not simply another device entering the U.S. therapy market. WINBACK’s system is built on dual-frequency radiofrequency energy and EMS (electrical muscle stimulation), capable of working at multiple depths—from superficial dermal layers to deep musculotendinous tissues.

We work with different frequencies depending on the depth you want to reach… every tissue has resonance,” she explained. “We are helping to support the cell permeability, vascularization, nutrient flow… it’s energy interacting with the body’s own current.

Her enthusiasm is grounded in both science and long-term observation: RF therapy in Europe is decades ahead of U.S. adoption, showcasing strong clinical results across:

  • Sports medicine & athletic recovery
  • Women’s pelvic health and postpartum care
  • Aesthetic and wellness applications
  • Pain modulation & inflammation reduction

The practical advantage? WINBACK uses programmable frequencies that precisely target tissue layers, enabling practitioners to choose frequencies that target different depths and tissue types—an innovation Ramona believes is unmatched in the market.


Why Women’s Health Is WINBACK’s Fastest-Growing Vertical

Among the many markets WINBACK serves, Ramona is unapologetically candid about the one that excites her most: women’s health.

When we host an event for women’s health, the response is through the roof,” she shared. “There is a level of interest, engagement, and need that surpasses every other vertical.

This includes pelvic floor therapy, incontinence, postpartum recovery, endometriosis, and sexual health—areas long underserved by traditional medicine. As she emphasized, “Pelvic health isn’t just a women’s issue… it’s a preventative and functional issue for everyone.


WINBACK Meets the AngioInstitute:

A Shared Vision for Scientific Validation**

The meeting with the AngioInstitute, led by world-renowned cancer imaging specialist Dr. Robert L. Bard, introduced Ramona to a group deeply committed to objective, image-guided validation of emerging medical technologies.

Dr. Bard, known as the “cancer detective,” operates one of the nation’s most advanced ultrasound-based diagnostic labs. His philosophy is simple: If a technology claims therapeutic impact, imaging should prove it.

The AngioInstitute Research Group presented WINBACK with a collaborative pathway:

  1. Before/after ultrasound imaging
  2. Elastography for tissue quality changes
  3. Doppler vascular studies
  4. Thermology for inflammatory shifts

Their offer was not just scientific—it was invitational. “Visual documentation is essential. If findings show improvement clinically and scientifically, the world will believe it,” the team expressed during the meeting.

This aligns perfectly with WINBACK’s 2025 mandate: expand U.S. clinical evidence through strategic research partnerships. Ramona acknowledged it directly: “The studies from France are great, but they’re not enough for the U.S. market. Clinical validation here is absolutely essential.


Toward a New Era of Regenerative Medicine

WINBACK’s evolution under Ramona’s leadership points toward a broader scientific renaissance—one where radiofrequency, photobiomodulation, PEMF, electrical stimulation, and other energetic tools integrate into a holistic therapeutic ecosystem.

Everyone responds to different forms of energy,” she emphasized. “RF works with the body’s current… it’s a universal medium for tissue healing.

Her approach mirrors a shift unfolding across integrative medicine:

  • From reaction → to prevention
  • From pharmaceutical management → to cellular optimization
  • From isolated treatments → to multimodal regenerative strategies

WINBACK does not replace other modalities—it enhances them.

 

A Promising Partnership Ahead

In the concluding moments of the meeting, Ramona asked the pivotal question: “What does partnership look like with your group? The AngioInstitute summarized its Nine Pillars: education, research, clinical studies, public advocacy, scientific publishing, case-report development, imaging validation, community health integration, and real-world patient outcomes.

WINBACK is an ideal fit. As one participant put it, “When somebody else writes about you, it becomes journalism. When we validate your outcomes, it becomes science.

Conclusion: The Ramona Effect

Ramona von Leden’s leadership represents more than a corporate appointment; it signals WINBACK’s commitment to scientific credibility, practitioner empowerment, and patient-centered healing.

She brings clarity to a field often clouded by hype, offering a grounded understanding of what radiofrequency therapy can truly achieve—when guided by the right science, the right partners, and the right mission.

These initial conversations between WINBACK, HealthTech Reporter, IPHA, and the AngioInstitute signal the beginning of a new collaborative chapter—one where radiofrequency innovation meets uncompromising clinical validation. If the future of non-invasive medicine has a name, Ramona von Leden is helping write it.
