All Four X 4 Spares Expands Professional 4WD Upgrade Services Across Australia
All Four X 4 Spares, one of Australia’s longest-serving 4WD parts and service providers, has expanded its workshop capabilities to deliver professional upgrades and fitting services tailored for rugged performance and compliance. The company now offers specialised GVM upgrades and premium installations such as Clearview towing mirrors , designed to help off-road drivers and tradespeople meet legal load limits while enhancing vehicle safety and handling. The expansion comes at a time when more 4WD owners are modifying their vehicles to handle heavier loads, additional accessories, and frequent towing. A GVM upgrade is one of the most requested services, allowing drivers to legally increase their carrying capacity when adding bull bars, toolboxes, suspension kits, or towing a caravan or trailer. These upgrades ensure better stability, improved braking performance, and compliance with insurance and manufacturer requirements. Many 4WD owners are unaware that weight from accessories can easily exceed factory limits, increasing safety risks and potential liability. “Our workshop provides complete end-to-end solutions that keep vehicles compliant and performing reliably under demanding conditions,” said Drew Parsons, GVM Specialist of the company. To support this growing demand, All Four X 4 Spares has strengthened its range of premium accessories, including Clearview towing mirrors — a popular choice among Australian travellers who require greater visibility when towing larger caravans and off-road trailers. The workshop also offers Offroad Animal bull bars and other performance components designed for touring, trade, and recreational use.

Neuromodulation Market to Reach USD 10.06 Billion by 2030, Driven by Rising Demand for Pain Management and Neurological Therapies
Introduction The neuromodulation market is on a steady growth path, with its market size estimated at USD 6.64 billion in 2025 and forecast to reach roughly USD 10.06 billion by 2030, registering a steady 8.64% CAGR. This growth comes as medical professionals and patients increasingly turn to neuromodulation for chronic pain, neurological disorders, and other conditions requiring long-term therapy without reliance on medication. The shift from traditional treatments toward device-based neuromodulation reflects growing confidence in the safety, effectiveness, and flexibility of modern neuromodulation systems. As demand rises across regions particularly in North America and Asia-Pacific the market is witnessing rising procedure volumes, broader clinical adoption, and technological improvements. These changes are shaping the future of how certain neurological and pain conditions are treated worldwide. The following sections explore key trends, market segments, major players, and what to expect in the coming years. Key Trends Rising Prevalence of Neurological and Pain Conditions An increasing number of patients suffering from chronic pain, movement disorders, epilepsy, and other neurological conditions has expanded the pool of candidates for neuromodulation therapy. With many patients seeking drug-free alternatives to long-term medication or opioid use, neuromodulation whether spinal cord stimulators or deep-brain systems is gaining traction. In regions such as North America, neuromodulation is being considered more often ahead of long-term opioid therapy for back pain. Technological Improvements in Devices and Platforms Technological developments are at the heart of growing adoption. Innovations such as closed-loop systems, rechargeable pulse generators, improved battery longevity, and remote/data-linked programming are making neuromodulation devices more reliable, user-friendly, and adaptable. These advances reduce the maintenance burden for patients and healthcare providers, shorten programming sessions, and support outpatient treatment models broadening the appeal of neuromodulation beyond specialized clinics. Expansion of Clinical Indications and Approval for Diverse Therapies As more regulatory approvals come through for various neuromodulation indications, the market is widening to cover not only pain management but also conditions like epilepsy, movement disorders (e.g., Parkinson’s, dystonia), and other neurological diseases. This expansion of use cases is raising acceptance among clinicians and payers, while growing evidence of efficacy builds trust among patients. Growing Preference for Minimally Invasive and Drug-Free Treatments There is a growing shift among patients and healthcare providers toward minimally invasive, drug-free treatments. Neuromodulation offers an attractive alternative to long-term pharmacotherapy, especially for chronic conditions where medication side effects or dependency is a concern. As a result, demand is increasing for both implantable devices and non-invasive external systems (e.g., transcranial magnetic stimulation), giving rise to a more diversified neuromodulation market. Check out more details and stay updated with the latest industry trends, including the Japanese version for localized insights: https://www.mordorintelligence.com/ja/industry-reports/neuromodulation-market?utm_source=marketersmedia Market Segmentation The neuromodulation market can be broken down into several key segments based on technology, application, and end user. By Technology Internal Neuromodulation External Neuromodulation (Non-invasive) By Application Pain Management Parkinson's Disease Epilepsy Depression Dystonia Other Applications By End-user Hospitals & Ambulatory Surgical Centers Clinics & Physiotherapy Centers Other End Users Geography North America South America Europe Middle east&Africa Asia pacific This segmentation helps highlight how the neuromodulation market size is not driven by a single therapy or device type but by a variety of technologies and care settings that expand the reach and accessibility of neuromodulation therapies. Key Players The competitive landscape of the neuromodulation market includes a mix of global medical-device companies and specialized manufacturers. Leading names in the industry: Medtronic PLC Abbott Boston Scientific Corporation LivaNova PLC Nevro Corporation These companies together hold a significant portion of global neuromodulation revenues. Their strategies focus on differentiated waveforms, battery and telemetry innovations, and expanding device portfolios to cover multiple applications (pain, neurological disorders, external and implantable systems). Conclusion The global neuromodulation market is expected to grow significantly over the next several years, driven by rising demand for effective, drug-free treatments for chronic pain and neurological disorders. Key factors supporting this growth include increasing prevalence of neurological and pain-related conditions, technological advancements in both implantable and non-invasive neuromodulation devices, expanded clinical applications, and growing adoption of minimally invasive therapies. As external systems and non-invasive options gain traction, neuromodulation may become more accessible to a broader patient population, beyond hospitals and surgical centers.

“Challenging Boredom” New 14-Session Audio Course Transforms Boredom and Restlessness into Calm, Focused Energy
Boredom is often dismissed as harmless, yet when left unexamined, it can quietly undermine daily life. It may contribute to restlessness, heightened anxiety, compulsive behaviors or addictions, and a reduced capacity for focus and fulfillment. In response to this overlooked issue, meditation teacher and audio-program creator James (Jim) Steed of Zen-X Guided Meditations introduces the Challenging Boredom Program a 14-session audio course designed to help listeners turn both low-arousal, lethargic boredom and high-arousal, restless boredom into calm, energized, purpose-driven focus. Program Highlights A hybrid format including short talks, guided meditations, creative visualizations, and downloadable handouts each session designed to help participants recognize, observe, and transform boredom at its roots. Sessions such as “Observing Boredom Unfazed,” “Transforming Drudgery into Energized Focus,” and “Changing Restless Avoidance into Calm Focus” guide participants through mindful observation, dissociation/association techniques, and vivid imagery to support automatic emotional shifts. The program emphasizes real-world application from understanding how boredom manifests in the body to aligning your life with personal values and creating meaningful challenge rather than simply filling time. Why Now In an increasingly fast-paced and distraction-driven world, boredom is often viewed as the opposite of productivity or the cause of guilty binges. The Challenging Boredom Program reframes boredom not as a void to escape, but as a signal to acknowledge an entry point into increased awareness, creativity, and self-regulation. According to the program’s overview, unmanaged boredom “can reduce quality of life and worsen addictions, ADD/ADHD symptoms, compulsive behaviors, anxiety, and depression.” Who It’s For This course is designed for individuals who: Experience chronic restlessness or “fidgety” mental states Feel languid, lethargic, or lacking in engagement and purpose Are open to using guided meditation, creative visualization, and mindfulness to change their relationship to internal states Pricing & Access The full 14-session program is available for USD $50 at the time of release. It includes downloadable MP3 audio files and accompanying PDF handouts for most sessions.

Procolored Details the Impact of DTF, DTG, and UV DTF Printing Technologies on the Modern Custom Printing Industry
Procolored has issued a comprehensive overview examining the role of DTF, DTG, and UV DTF printer technologies in the global custom printing industry. The report outlines how these technologies are changing production workflows, expanding material compatibility, and enabling new product categories across the apparel and commercial printing sectors. DTF Printing Identified as a Rapidly Expanding Technology Procolored’s analysis identifies Direct to Film (DTF) printing as one of the fastest-growing methods in apparel decoration, driven by material versatility and simplified workflows. The technology supports cotton, polyester, blends, nylon, denim, leather, and additional fabrics, reducing the need for pretreatment and lowering operational costs. The company notes that DTF prints maintain durability and meet standard wash requirements, supporting print-on-demand environments and bulk production. DTG Printing Maintains Its Role in Premium Apparel Production Direct to Garment (DTG) printing continues to serve premium cotton-based garment markets. Procolored reports that DTG printing remains preferred for applications requiring ink absorption, soft-hand finishes, and detailed colour output. The method uses water-based pigment inks aligned with sustainability standards and is suited to low-volume and boutique apparel production. UV DTF Printing Identified as a High-Margin Diversification Category Procolored’s findings show that UV DTF printing has rapidly become a high-margin expansion option for print shops seeking to enter rigid-surface customisation markets. UV DTF output adheres to glass, acrylic, metal, ceramic, wood, plastic, and other materials. The process requires no pretreatment and supports products including phone cases, décor items, packaging labels, branding elements, and personalised gifts. Technology Development Based on Commercial Workflow Requirements According to Procolored, all printer lines are engineered to accommodate commercial production conditions, including long-duration operation, ink circulation systems intended to minimise clogging, and stable colour management workflows. Consumables and technical support are structured to align with the requirements of active production environments. Conclusion Procolored states that the combined capabilities of DTF, DTG, and UV DTF printing technologies define the next stage of modern custom manufacturing. The report notes that these technologies expand material compatibility, enhance production flexibility, and unlock opportunities in both apparel and rigid-surface product markets. About Procolored Procolored is a manufacturer of digital printing equipment specialising in DTF, DTG, and UV DTF printing technologies. The company develops printing systems, ink solutions, and workflow tools designed for commercial print environments and custom manufacturing businesses.
