Here’s a gadget likely to put a few physio therapists out of business… developed by Ultralieve it’s the first home gadget to use ultrasound technology for therapeutic pain relief.
Perfect for sprains and pains the device will speed up the recovery process by sending a very high frequency massage that penetrates deep below the surface of the skin to assist in the healing process by increasing blood circulation and reducing inflammation.
‘The Ultralieve® delivers 1 million vibrations per second (1MHz) pulsed ultrasound waves with varying intensity levels deep into damaged tissues and has been scientifically and medically proven device to treat a range of medical conditions’.
‘The ultrasound waves tend to travel through tissue with high water or low protein content, and to bounce off cartilage and bone. They are absorbed primarily by connective tissue: ligaments, tendons, and fascia. The thermal effect involves energy absorbed from the sound waves heating the tissue. When tissue is heated to 40 to 45 °C (104 to 113 °F), it can enter a state of hyperaemia (increased blood flow), which speeds healing and reduces chronic inflammation’.
According to Ultralieve effects will be seen within 3 weeks.
