(By choosing 1 or 3 MHz, it is possible to act on the surface or in depth)

(the temperature drops by 30 °C in a short time)
The effects of cold – cryo-therapy
Cryotherapy is a physical therapy performed through cold and is used in the treatment of :
recent trauma: the vasoconstriction induced by the cold prevents the edema expansion
after-effects of trauma: the cold reduces the perception of pain, the muscle reflex contraction and the post-traumatic edema
bursitis, arthrosynovitis, tendonitis: the cold exerts an anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect
inflammatory arthropathy: the cold exerts an anti-inflammatory action useful in rheumatic diseases with an inflammatory imprint.
Thermotherapy is also a physical therapy in which the targeted use of heat can produce therapeutic effects. Heat increases blood flow, promotes the elimination of metabolic by-products from tissues, increases oxygen supply, accelerates biochemical reactions of the body and has an analgesic and myorelaxant effect.
Thermotherapy is used for the following treatments:
Contusions, sprains, bursitis, muscle tears and strains.
Spinal syndromes with muscle contractures; fatigue muscle spasms, as it favors the elimination of accumulated lactic acid in the muscles
preparation before exercises for the muscle warm-up phase
Preparation for the execution of physiotherapeutic exercises.
THERMO SHOCK AND CONTRAST THERAPY
Pathologies treatable with the thermal shock are:
rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory diseases in general;
back pain
osteoarthritis
muscle problems
acute injuries
post-operative convalescence
Contrast therapy® is a physical therapy that consists of applying cycles of hot and cold.
It is found to be ideal in the treatment of:
edema
pain
muscle contractures
inflammation of ligaments
aponeurosis and periosteum
Ultrasound therapy
Ultrasound therapy is a non-invasive therapeutic method using mechanical wave energy. These, in addition to generating a micro-massage, are absorbed by the tissues and transformed into thermal energy.
the combination with cryotherapy: the aim is to limit the thermal effect, thus allowing more energy to be delivered without causing “excessive“heating.
the combination with thermotherapy: in certain conditions it can help to enhance the therapeutic effects (chronic inflammation, degeneration, muscular contracture).
