Therapeutic heating is effective at treating conditions such as arthritis, back pain, chronic pain, joint contractures, soft tissue and repetitive stress injuries.
I have seen pictures where an individual seems to be wearing 2 therapy garments, can I do that?
Answer
What you are actually seeing is a black barrier garment underneath the actual therapy garment, not 2 therapy garments. You cannot have a patient wear 2 therapy garments, but it is recommended to have a layer between the therapy garment and skin. This can be clothing, a towel or a barrier garment (example – stockenette).

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
