Therapeutic heating is effective at treating conditions such as arthritis, back pain, chronic pain, joint contractures, soft tissue and repetitive stress injuries.
Why is the frequency 13.56 MHz and not typical 27.12 MHz used in continuous shortwave diathermy?
Answer
13.56 MHz allows deeper penetration into the tissue and allows the product to be lightweight and compact.

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
