Therapeutic heating is effective at treating conditions such as arthritis, back pain, chronic pain, joint contractures, soft tissue and repetitive stress injuries.
What is ReBound Diathermy?
Diathermy is a therapeutic heating modality and literally means “to heat through”. ReBoundTM diathermy is an FDA cleared and patented technology originally developed by the US Navy to warm the SEAL team members and deep sea divers. The unique anatomically designed therapy garments envelop the entire body part and produce time-varying longitudinal electromagnetic fields within tissues delivering deep therapeutic heating. The unique longitudinal heating coil design keeps the heating gradual, uniform and safe.

Physiological Benefits of Diathermy
Not only do the oscillating ions generate therapeutic heat up to 4 cm below the skins surface the following physiological effects are also the result of a ReBound™ diathermy treatment.
- reduction of intracellular edema
- triggering of collagen synthesis
- increased microvascular perfusion
- activation of fibroblast growth factors
- increased macrophage activity
- increased extensibility of collagen fibers in tendons and joint capsules
- reduced viscosity of fluid element within the tissues
- decreased joint stiffness
- reduced muscle spasm
- diminished pain perception
- increased metabolism
- increased blood flow
- vasodilation
- relaxation
- increased membrane filtration and diffusion
- changes in some enzyme reactions
