The application of heat for recovery and performance purposes is ubiquitous across multiple interdisciplinary fields of medicine. To date, the greatest detriment to these treatments is their inability to deliver heat deep into the muscular and skeletal structure without introducing patient risk and discomfort due to significant surface temperatures. Through high frequency energy and low frequency
modulation, ThermoWave Technology mitigates this risk as it raises the temperature of the target treatment area without direct application of heat. As treatment is delivered via the applicator pad, the temperature of the region is raised to between 41 and 44 degrees Celsius. This artificial rise in temperature stimulates one of the most powerful adaptation mechanisms, the heat shock response (HSR). Induction of this highly conserved molecular response to disruptions of protein homeostasis leads to the rapid and robust expression of molecular chaperones; specifically, Heat Shock Proteins (HSPs) 70 and 90. As HSPs execute the HSR program within the temperature risen area, a number of benefits are brought to bear. These benefits include but are not limited to:
- Localized Blood Flow Increase (up to 1500%): Allowing the area to experience rapid delivery of oxygen and nutrients, powering the regenerative response for fast reproduction of normal cells and healthy tissue.
- Cell Permeability: Reducing inflammation as excess fluids can be drained and toxins, cellular debris, and free radicals can be removed.
- Limited Pain Receptor Stimulation: Improving patient comfort levels and (coupled with reduced inflammation) range of motion. The ability of ThermoWave Technology to efficiently and effectively engage the complex, adaptive behavior of the biological system at the molecular level, ensures the body discovers, examines, and recovers on its own terms. No other technology provides its users with the capability to induce deep, precise, and accurate healing at the molecular level without side effects.
