Ultrasound therapy for physiotherapy & rehabilitation.
Therapeutic ultrasound uses sound waves above the hearing threshold. Mechanical and thermal action support tissue healing, pain relief and reduced muscle spasm.
Globus ultrasound equipment uses sound waves above the threshold of human hearing, delivered in continuous or pulsed emission. The waves create mechanical vibrations within tissue.
Penetration produces a micro-massage effect alongside localised heating as vibrational energy turns into heat. Together these effects support a wide range of therapeutic applications.
The mechanism.
Mechanical effect
Ultrasound waves create a micro-massage within tissue, mobilising fibres at cellular level to help break down adhesions and improve mobility.
Thermal effect
Vibrational energy converts to localised heat, increasing blood flow, speeding metabolism and supporting faster healing.
How ultrasound therapy is used.
- Analgesic effect in arthrotic and periarthritic conditions, and reabsorption of tendon calcifications
- Influence on bone formation in osteoporosis through the piezoelectric effect
- Stimulation of healing in non-infectious inflammatory tissue
- Resorption of haematoma
- Resolution of muscle spasm, contractures and periarticular calcifications
- Increased connective tissue plasticity, including cellulite
