What is HIVAMAT therapy?
HIVAMAT® is a unique, one-of-a-kind therapy approach. The letters stand for (HI) Histological (VA) Variable (MA) Manual (T) Technique. HIVAMAT therapy uses deep oscillation techniques achieved by using an intermittent electrostatic field.
These electrostatic waves have a kneading action deep inside the injured tissues, instantly relaxing muscles, relieving pain, and lowering swelling while restoring flexibility and blood supply.
The unique structure of this treatment method uses electrostatic attraction and friction to create biologically beneficial oscillations in the treated tissue. These oscillations provide a mild yet deeply felt effect on the skin, connective tissue, muscles, blood, and lymph vessels.
Conditions HIVAMAT therapy can treat
HIVAMAT therapy is commonly utilized in pre-and post-rehabilitation when a patient undergoes surgery. It offers several benefits that your typical over-the-counter pain medications do not!
For instance, redness, edema, and swelling can be relieved with HIVAMAT therapy, and wounds will heal smoother and faster with this technology. Patients report feeling less pain over time and the chances of scarring are also lower.
HIVAMAT therapy encourages a return to active everyday life, improved mobility, and functionality. This remarkable technology can be used for gentle and safe lymphatic draining, as well as for post-stroke therapy.
