Faradic Impulse therapy uses The Winks Greene Transeva to deliver a unique electrical current to stimulate rhythmic muscular contractions. For those of you who want the technical side of things,the current produced by the Transeva is a short duration,interupted direct current with a pulse duration of 0.5-1.5 seconds and a frequency of 50-100Hz. The interruption of the direct current causes it to b
ehave like alternating current, the current is surged to produce a near normal contraction and relaxation of the muscle. The various muscle groups are stimulated via their motor nerves and the peripheral nerves are also stimulated. EFFECTS OF THE TRANSEVA:
The effects of the machine include:
Muscle elasticity,irritbility and contractility is rapidly returned
There is an increase in the blood brought to the muscle and surrounding tissues with corresponding beneficial physiological effects. Waste products are rapidly cleared away and stagnation of lymph fluid is prevented. Promotion of rapid absorption of fluid and extravasated (leaked) blood and lymph
Swift application of the machine after injury can help prevent muscle wastage, muscles that have already wasted will increase in bulk with use of the machine
Rhythmic muscle contractions help prevent the build up and stagnation of lymph between the layers of the muscle and help minimise the formation of adhesions
A reduction in the likelihood of connective tissue losing their suppleness and flexibility which are imperative for efficient joint monvement
If adhesions have already formed in the muscle the rhythmic contractions stimulated by the machine help to gradually pull apart the adhesion using increasingly powerful contractions within the individual muscle
CONDITIONS THE MACHINE CAN BE USED TO TREAT:
Tendons
Joints
Pains and strains
Dislocation
Bells Palsy
Sinusitis
Osteo-arthritis
Temporary relief
Nerve injuries
Adhesions
Tight muscles
Haematoma
Fibrisitis
