Myofascial Acoustic Compression Therapy (MyACT) is widely used in the treatment of acute and chronic pain in muscles, tendons and joints. It works by delivering focused shock waves directly to the specific area of the body experiencing pain. Research show that this exciting new therapy promotes natural healing for many orthopedic injuries without a costly and invasive surgery.
Used worldwide by professional sports teams and major university programs, as well as sports oriented private rehab practitioners, the PiezoWave2T MyACT gets the job done!
Here are the reasons why:
- Reduces pain in most of time as little as one treatment providing a faster return to normal activities.
- Patients provide feedback during massage sessions which allows the practitioner to focus on target areas.
