The Rhythm Touch also
concentrates on general or local muscle
spasms. It increases muscle metabolism
and increases the lactic acid cycle to
relieve pain. Deep, rapid,
short-duration percussion is the key to
the elimination of pain. The Rhythm
Touch can be used in effective
management of acute and chronic pain,
not exclusive to, but including: Back
pain, Neck pain, Knee pain, rotator
cuff, arthritis, migraine headaches,
sciatica, TMJ, carpal tunnel syndrome,
tendonitis, bursitis, edema, myofacial
pain and frozen joints.
The Deep Muscle
Stimulator is known to increase the
circulation of blood and flow of lymph.
The direct mechanical effect of
rhythmical pressure and movement used in
Rhythm Touch can dramatically increase
the rate of blood flow. The stimulation
of nerve receptors causes the blood
vessels to dilate, which also
facilitates blood flow.
Rhythm Touch can help
loosen contracted, shortened muscles and
can stimulate weak, flaccid muscles.
This muscle "balancing" can help posture
and promote more efficient movement.
Rhythm Touch is also being used for
Integrated Manual Therapy and
Musculoskeletal Dysfunction.
It is possible to do
more exercise and training, which in the
long run strengthens muscle and improves
conditioning. Rhythm Touch also provides
a gentle stretching action to both the
muscles and connective tissues that
surround and support the muscles and
many other parts of the body, which
helps keep these tissues elastic.
Rhythm Touch also aids
recovery from soft tissue injuries such
as sprains and strains. This is possible
because the growth and repair of tissue
are accelerated by efficient circulation
in the injured areas and appropriate
stimulation of the healing tissues.
