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
