Our Equipment

Omniscient

Ohmniscan is a high-performance portable bio-impedance measuring device that enables, the essential data i.e.: lean mass, fat mass, water balance, basal metabolism, daily energy needs, body mass index to be calculated using a painless micro current technique. It is used for the initial assessment and for treatment monitoring Regular checks allow fat loss to be monitored and the results used as a highly motivational tool.

CELLSONIC

Low frequency ultrasounds are a sure and painless method that when combined with drainage enables the most rebellious fat particles to be treated. Low frequency ultrasounds penetrate through the adipose tissue; their vibrating action weakens the fibers that surround the adiposity cells and favors fat acids release. These low frequency ultrasounds, between 28 and 32 kHz, are applied under stationary conditions through a contact gel and have 3 effects: Mechanical effects: “micro-massage”: alternative compression and expansion of the tissues (pressure differences), provoke cells friction and tissue weakening Thermal effects: the energy released by the ultra-sounds becomes heat and favours a vasodilatation effects: they are due to both mechanical and thermal effects: it activates the local venous and lymphatic circulation and relaxes the muscles

Effilyse

Effilyse is the ideal assistant to develop and produce personalized diets for a wide spectrum of people (from the sedentary person to the top-level athlete). It is an “expert system” for health, fitness or sports professionals. Effilyse allows the creation of files per patient: identity, impedance and morphology measurements, physiological conditions, diet habits and the avoidance of certain food items. The measurements obtained with Ohmniscan can be entered in the Effilyse software and it will then calculate the patient’s daily energy needs. As the data on basic metabolism and energy needs are known, the software personalizes the menus according to these data.

BIODERM

Vacuum therapy combines two well-proven techniques: suction effect and mechanical palpate-roll. The combination of those two techniques, in a global slimming concept, offers good results particularly in cases where excess weight is hard to move. The round heads with teflon rings slide easily over all skin surfaces, including hairy areas, with no risk of pinching. The heads are transparent so that the formation of the skin pleat can be checked and vascularisation can be verified. Thanks to the use of the proper massage head, the Bioderm technique can be applied to the face, this is called Ridoplastie. Wrinkles are the result of skin ageing and also fibrinolytic phenomena which attach the base of the wrinkle to the tissues. The face and neck are areas with lots of lymphatic and venous exchanges and are often insufficiently stimulated. Ridoplastie face cares give noticeable results from the first session as regards both external aspect and feeling of well-being.

DRY AQUA JET THERAPY

Floating – The body experiences a new lightness. Slow weightlessness takes over. Wrapped in comfortable warmth, an initial feeling of security relieves body and soul. Soft music can be heard with the harmonic vibrations perceptible by all senses. Being in condition of total relaxation, you have a new dimension of recovery. The Thermo Spa Concerto is the total well-being solution. Its unique combination of functions makes a varied range of cosmetic and therapeutic treatments possible. The transition from reclining to floating is incomparably soft and pleasant. It turns the whole tub into a loudspeaker. The sound waves are not only audible; they can also be felt through the foil. This makes also a massage possible simply by the vibration of the sound waves: the whole body is set vibrating by the rhythm of the music.

Advantages: Relieves tension Reduces cellulitis, rheumatism and arthritis Improves circulation Stimulates the lymphatic system Tautens the skin and connective tissue Has a slimming effect

PARAFFIN BATH

Paraffin wax has a very high “heat capacity,” meaning it is able to absorb and retain a great amount of heat. The Therabath takes advantage of paraffins heat-retaining capacity in a simple process called “heat transfer.” Very simply, the heat that goes into melting the paraffin is released when it solidifies into a custom-fitted, warm “glove,” thus transferring the heat deep into the affected joint or area. Each dip in a Therabath delivers a layer of fast-acting heat therapy. Effective on: Arthritis, Inflammation, Joint Stiffness, Muscle Spasms, Sports Injur

VIBRAFIT

The movement of the vibration plate simulates the body s natural stretch reflex (tonic vibration reflex). This is similar to the knee jerk reaction that occurs when the knee is tapped by a reflex hammer in a doctors office. Without thinking of it, your body responds with a strong involuntary muscle contraction leading to your leg kicking out. With the Vibra-Fit technology these strong muscle contractions can be repeated at a rapid rate. Due to the involuntary effect on muscle contraction, nearly 100% of the muscle fibers are recruited. Compare this to conventional training where there is only an average of 40% muscle recruitment. This benefits the rehabilitation patient looking to add stability and strength to all muscles around their joints, to the athlete looking to maximize strength gains. The gentle rapid contractions allow the muscle to work as a pump in introducing blood to even the smallest blood vessels. This leads to the ability of the body to carry off waste products much faster, leading to increased peripheral circulation. Positive effects: Increase of the bone density, treatment of osteoporosis Better blood circulation building up of muscular strength and endurance Develop the reflexes and the proprioception Decrease of cellulite Better metabolism, purification, fat burning Tissue lifting

STRUZZOPLUS

If StruzzoPlus speak by itself, it would speak of transfer, verticalization and movement in the name of simplicity, versatility, lightness, handiness and likableness. Perhaps it would not have the arrogance to say that it is the first in its class for everything, but it would proudly affirm that it knows how to do more things with respect to the others and that it is the result of deep consideration. A standing frame with motor unit powered by batteries and joystick control. Drive around the house or office

SHOCKWAVE

The Shockwave device represents today an innovative system that can give rise to a new and effective therapeutic approach for the treatment of various pathologies regarding soft tissues and the skeletal system. The thrust implemented by the end side of a suitable applicator, that the operator has to put in contact with the suffering region, gives rise to small impulses with high intensity that are transmitted into the tissue. This originates a resonance phenomenon causing antalgic processes, reduction of local phlogosis, new formation of blood vessels, and reactivation of reparative processes. The Shockwave device is a specific instrument for the treatment of pathologies into the Physical Therapy and Orthopaedics field. The antalgic, osteo-inductive and vascular effects allow the treatment of a wide range of tendinous pathologies, but also allow the activation of processes involving the re-absorption of calcifications, especially when they are localised in the smallest joints, and help to increase the reparative processes (osteogenesis) in osteo-articular pathologies and fractures. Besides the manual setting, the Shockwave device has got a series of pre-set therapeutic protocols (whose values can be adjusted by the operator) and a memory for storing customized treatments.

ACTIVE PASSIVE TRAINING
