Therapeutic heating is effective at treating conditions such as arthritis, back pain, chronic pain, joint contractures, soft tissue and repetitive stress injuries.
What are the benefits of ReBoundTM compared to ultrasound?
Answer
- ReBoundTM is approved for unattended use so a technician does not need to be present once the patient is set up. This allows the technician to multitask.
- ReBoundTM has anatomically specific therapy garments to more effectively treat body parts
- ReBoundTM is able to treat a large area.
- ReBoundTM “feels” better to the patient as they are actually feeling warmth during the therapy.
- ReBoundTM heating effects last approximately 3 times longer than ultrasound.

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
