Extension and massage couches

Therapeutic effects of intermittent extension

• Increase in vascular and lymphatic circulation; the reduction of congestion, oedema and haematoma is stimulated
• Tones the muscles; fatigue is counteracted and elasticity is improved
• Reduction of periarticular and articular adhesions and fibrous infiltrations
• Relief of muscular spasm by creating a "physiological rest"
• Stimulation of proprioceptive reflexes

Therapeutic effects of heat

• Dilatation of the vascular system, reflexively also in deeper tissue layers
• Relaxation of the musculature
• Reduction of muscle spasms and associated pain
• Increase circulation and respiration. Sedative effect.

Therapeutic effects of massage and vibration

• Increase in vascular and lymphatic circulation
• Reduction of oedema, congestion and haematoma
• Improvement of tissue elasticity and thus mobility
• Increase in respiration
• Increase diuresis
• Sedating effect on motor and sensory nerves
• Increased breakdown of lactic acid in the muscles, thus counteracting signs of muscle fatigue; an increase in condition is possible
