You know the feeling! Neck pain, back pain, or massive muscle tension in the shoulder area. They are not only very painful but can also severely restrict your mobility in everyday life. With the ultrasound heat treatment of emmi®-skin Sport, which we specifically created for tense muscles and for post-sport treatment, we have developed a pleasant method to provide lasting relaxation.
The fine ultrasound waves reach the deeper musculature and thus also the adjacent tissue. The fine – imperceptible – vibrations caused by the ultrasound in the tissue lead to improved blood circulation, which has an all-round positive effect on the deep muscles. In today's blog post, we explain why ultrasound heat treatment can relieve tension and muscle pain.
This treatment is suitable for muscle tension
Pain in the neck, shoulders, or back is often due to muscle tension. These can be treated very effectively and sustainably with ultrasound heat therapy. But before we go into more detail about the principle of action, have you ever asked yourself what the most common causes of pain or muscle tension actually are?
This can be caused, for example, by excessive physical exertion during sports or an even more common cause: incorrect and prolonged sitting. Tension in the muscles can extend deep into the tissue and even penetrate into the so-called deep musculature.
How heat treatment with ultrasound works
With ultrasound heat therapy using our emmi®-skin Sport, you place the transducer on the painful area. A special contact gel is applied for better effect. Ultrasound heat therapy is performed using ultrasound. Ultrasound waves have the wonderful property of penetrating deep into the tissue.
The invisible ultrasound waves warm the tissue deep down. Joints and deep muscles benefit from this soothing property. The heat in heat treatment with ultrasound is generated due to the high frequencies.
The use of our emmi®-skin Sport – Thermoeffect Set has no side effects. On the contrary, the deep heat in tense tissue has a positive effect. To relieve tension or relax muscles after sports, a single treatment is usually not enough.
How ultrasound heat therapy works
Heat generated by ultrasound waves can loosen muscles and improve the elasticity of connective tissue. However, the effect of heat therapy not only promotes the relaxation of the muscles but also stimulates blood circulation. This activates metabolism and promotes lymphatic circulation in the body.
Healing processes that are currently taking place in the body can thus be promoted and supported. As you can see, you can achieve a multifaceted effect with heat therapy and ultrasound.
