Deep Heating through high-frequency electrotherapy – Essential for modern physiotherapy

A high-frequency current is applied to the patient. It enters the tissue almost not perceptible and is converted into heat in the target tissue. In contrast to direct or lowfrequency currents, the high frequency currents have the ability to penetrate superficial skin layers without energy loss. The energy is thus released only in the deeper tissue layers and converted into heat.

Get better and pain-free faster

Depth warmth from high-frequency current in conjunction with a manual treatment – this treatment makes fit in no time not only elite athletes after musculoskeletal injuries. During the treatment you feel nothing but a pleasant feeling of warmth. The immediate and beneficial mode of action convinces already at the first application! In the application of ThermoTK a high-frequency current is applied, not perceptible for the patient. Through an innovative method the energy is released to deeper tissue layers and converted into heat. It works very precisely at the acute problem area in the muscles, tendons, bones and joints.

Capacitive and resistive with one electrode

ThermoTK can be combined as an integrative treatment with other manual treatments or it may be used as a single treatment. Its area of application is any painful musculoskeletal complaint. ThermoTK has two modes for different areas of application:

Capacitive mode
For superficially situated structures, such as musculature.

Resistive mode
For application on deeper structures, such as tendons and ligaments.

The required mode can be selected quickly and easily at the touch of a button: no complicated electrode change necessary!

With the colour touch screen the operation is fast, simple and clear for the user.

Using the touch screen, the different indications can be selected. The therapist thereby receives, in addition to application recommendations for the respective indication, professional information about the treatment.

A perfect treatment team.

Deeph heating therapy combined with manual therapy offers exceptional treatment options. Thus the range of services of modern medical practices is extended and the patients can be treated even more effectively.

The complete system is ideally suited for mobile use in the area of sport therapy. A carrying case for the device and accessories is included in the delivery.

FAQ

When is the treatment appropriate
In all acute and chronic conditions of the support and movement apparatus, e.g. in

How does high-frequency depth warmth work?
Depth warmth with ThermoTK mobilizes the natural healing processes: Your blood circulation as well as oxygen supply improves, muscle relax sustainably, pain is significantly alleviated. The path to a more active life!

Is the treatment safe and well tolerated?
High-frequency current penetrates superficial skin layers without energy loss. The skin therefore does not heat up, thus excluding skin irritations. In order to obtain rapid recovery, the application can be repeated even several times a day

Is the treatment painful?
Not at all, quite the contrary. Unlike with many conventional treatments, the high-frequency current is applied here by direct contact: it enters the tissue in the form of electromagnetic energy and only in the deeper layers it is converted into heat. You feel nothing but pleasant warmth. Exactly where the pain is.
