TR-Therapy (Targeted Radiofrequency Therapy) is based on the application of high-frequency electrical impulses that are introduced directly into the affected muscle tissue. This process promotes the regeneration of muscle fibers, leading to faster recovery and improved performance. The therapy is suitable for both professional athletes and individuals with physical impairments. TR-Therapy can provide patients with a variety of benefits, including pain relief, improved mobility, reduction of inflammation, support for the immune system, promotion of tissue repair, increased well-being, and enhancement of overall health. The treatment can also be used for preventive purposes and help reduce or prevent the onset of symptoms.
TR-Therapy
What sets TR-Therapy apart from radiofrequency therapy?
Radiofrequency Therapy
Radiofrequency therapy is a broader category of procedures that operates across a wide frequency spectrum to generate heat in tissue and alleviate pain and inflammation.
TR-Therapy
TR-Therapy is a specific form of radiofrequency therapy that operates targetedly in the frequency range of 480 to 520 kHz and has a biostimulating effect at the cellular level. This promotes the regeneration and healing of tissue damage. By combining two different electrodes, the desired effects can be achieved.
The athermal effects of TR-Therapy facilitate the faster movement of ions and heightened activity of the lymphatic system, all without generating a thermal effect. On the other hand, thermal effects primarily revolve around vasodilation, which involves the expansion of blood vessels, thereby promoting targeted local blood flow. This process relaxes muscles, enhances oxygen supply, delivers essential nutrients, and aids in the healing process.
Principle of TR-Therapy
The principle of TR-Therapy involves delivering high-frequency electromagnetic energy into the desired tissue, leading to not only selective tissue hyperthermia. Two different modes (capacitive and resistive) of selective radiofrequency therapy offer precise and effective treatment targeting specific tissues. The capacitive electrode focuses on treating skin tissue, subcutaneous tissue, and muscles, while the resistive electrode acts on tissues with higher resistance, such as muscle attachments, tendons, and ligaments. TR-Therapy is a therapeutic approach that combines various techniques such as massages, manual therapies, and others to address various health issues. Combining TR-Therapy with manual techniques can have a synergistic effect and make therapy outcomes even more effective.
TR-Therapy can be used to treat a variety of complaints and conditions, such as:
- Musculoskeletal pain
- Muscle tension
- Back pain
- Joint pain
- Headaches
- Migraines
- Lymphedema
- Scars
- Bruises
- Other injuries
Concept of TR-Therapy
-
Massage technique
Combining the massage technique with TR-Therapy amplifies the therapeutic benefits. The heightened blood flow facilitates the transportation of additional nutrients, oxygen, and immune substances to the treated tissue. This influx expedites and facilitates the alleviation of discomfort, promoting faster relief of complaints.
-
Muscle activation technique
This technique concentrates hyperthermia in tense muscles by combining TR-Therapy with isometric or isotonic muscle contractions. The delivered radiofrequency energy activates these fibers and leads to their reintegration into muscular cooperation.
-
The passive movement technique
of TR-Therapy releases trigger points and muscular hypertonus that restrict joint range of motion. Using selective radiofrequency therapy in combination with passive stretching of shortened structures leads to immediate relief and increased range of motion.
The therapeutic effects
of TR-Therapy are athermal and thermal. The athermal effect results in faster movement of ions and increased activity of the lymphatic system without producing a thermal effect. The thermal effect mainly relies on vasodilation, leading to targeted local blood flow. This relaxes muscles, increases oxygen supply, delivers nutrients, and supports healing.
TR-Therapy can also reduce spasms and muscle cramps, which often contribute to pain. By reducing tension in the muscles, it can alleviate pain and improve mobility. TR-Therapy utilizes targeted radiofrequency energy, which has a biostimulating effect at the cellular level. This energy increases blood flow, stimulates cells and tissues, and improves their regeneration processes. In this way, the therapy helps relax spastic muscles and improve their function.
During TR-Therapy, high-frequency electromagnetic energy is directed into the affected tissue, resulting in selective heating of the tissue depth. This heating increases blood flow and oxygen content in the tissue, promoting regeneration and healing. Additionally, TR-Therapy is used to stimulate nerve fibers that contribute to pain relief. By heating and stimulating the tissue, tension and spasms can also be relieved, leading to muscle relaxation and, thus, pain relief.
TR-Therapy can help improve muscle strength by stimulating and activating the muscle. Stimulation with TR devices activates the muscle, leading to contraction, which in turn can improve muscle strength and function. Additionally, TR-Therapy can help improve muscle blood flow, leading to increased oxygen and nutrient delivery, thus promoting muscle regeneration and repair.
TR-Therapy can activate the lymphatic system, improving the removal of lymph fluid, which in turn can reduce swelling and inflammation.
As part of the biostimulating effect, TR-Therapy has a positive effect on tissue regeneration and overall body condition. This effect is manifested, for example, in improved blood circulation, which enhances the flow of oxygen and nutrients into tissues. Another positive effect of TR-Therapy is the improvement of the immune system. This therapy promotes the formation of lymphocytes and other immune cells that are important for the body’s defenses.
By selectively stimulating ions at the cellular level, TR Therapy can enhance blood flow to the affected tissue. Additionally, this stimulation promotes collagen production, which contributes to faster healing and improved scar formation. TR Therapy can be particularly beneficial when applied immediately after surgery, as it helps optimize scar formation and reduces the risk of complications.
A TR-Therapy session typically lasts between 10 and 30 minutes and can be performed multiple times per week or less frequently depending on the patient’s needs. After the first session, you will feel muscle relaxation. Typically, results will continue to improve over the next few weeks.
