Why Brain Tune Exists
Before Brain Tune ever opened its doors, Joe Matessa was a parent searching for answers.
After years of navigating ADHD with his teenage son through medications, therapy, and countless other approaches, Joe discovered MCN. The transformation was so life-changing for both his son and family that he immediately knew this was something he needed to further pursue.
Today, Brain Tune combines innovative technology with compassionate care to help people find relief from symptoms, improve brain function, and move forward with greater confidence and hope.
What Makes Brain Tune Different
Certified MCN Provider and Brain Gauge Center of Excellence
We specialize in Microcurrent Neurofeedback using IASIS technology, a non-invasive, drug-free method trusted by professionals across the country.
Personalized Care
You’re not just another appointment. We listen, tailor your care, and track your progress every step of the way.
Calm, Private Environment
Our sessions are peaceful, quiet, and focused on your comfort. Many clients nap or enter deep calm while being treated.
Limited Treatment Plan
Most patients find sustaining relief in less than 20 short treatments over 6-8 months.
More Than One Path to a Better-Functioning Brain
At Brain Tune Columbus, our work is centered on supporting the brain and nervous system so they can function with greater balance, efficiency, and resilience. Our core approach combines Microcurrent Neurofeedback and Brain Gauge to support brain function across a wide range of needs—from managing stress and improving focus to supporting cognitive performance and overall brain health.
Our work extends across three specialized pathways, each designed to address specific goals and populations:
Sports Performance
Train the brain.
Elevate performance.
Sports Performance applies Brain Tune’s approach to the demands of competition, helping athletes develop the mental skills that can influence performance on and off the field. By combining brain training with nervous-system support, athletes can work toward greater focus, mental agility, faster processing, confident decision-making, and the ability to perform under pressure.
Concussion Recovery
Support the brain. Rebuild confidence. Return to what matters.
Concussion Recovery provides a brain-focused approach for individuals navigating the challenges that can follow a concussion. By supporting brain function and nervous-system regulation while using Brain Gauge to measure and track cognitive performance, the goal is to help individuals better understand their progress and support their return to school, work, sport, and everyday life.
Breathwork
Use your breath as a tool for nervous-system regulation.
Breathwork brings the brain-body connection into the work through intentional breathing techniques designed to support the central and autonomic nervous systems. It gives individuals a practical skill they can use to manage stress, promote calm, improve awareness, and support greater balance in their everyday lives.
One Brain. One Nervous System. Many Ways to Support It.
While each pathway has a different focus, they share the same foundation: the brain and nervous system work together, and supporting one can influence how we think, feel, perform, and respond.
Whether your goal is to optimize athletic performance, navigate concussion recovery, develop greater control over your stress response, or simply support better brain health, Brain Tune Columbus provides different ways to support your brain’s natural ability to adapt, regulate, and perform at its best.

Joe Matessa, ICT
Founder • Certified IASIS Microcurrent Neurofeedback Technician
A native of Pittsburgh and a graduate of Bowling Green State University, Joe and his family have proudly called Columbus home since 2011. He believes that everyone deserves hope, compassionate care, and the opportunity to live a healthier, more fulfilling life. These values continue to guide his work every day.
In 2023, Joe was diagnosed with ADHD, PTSD, and later severe heart disease, making medication no longer an option. Through IASIS MCN, he found greater focus, better sleep, and a renewed sense of peace without medication.
Before founding Brain Tune Columbus, Joe worked in the medical technology industry and has remained deeply committed to serving his community. He founded the nonprofit Family Pride Network in 2015 and currently serves as Board President of BraveMen, Inc., supporting men and families affected by prostate cancer - a cause close to his heart following his own diagnosis in 2013.
Today, Joe is passionate about helping individuals and families discover hope, healing, and a better quality of life through personalized, compassionate care.
