| Trophic
Electrical Stimulation (TES) is applied to muscle with the specific purpose
of influencing its metabolic pathway. It helps the body in the natural healing
process and prevents or reverses the changes associated with atrophy. Basically
it helps with the nutritional growth and development of the muscle. It operates
on frequencies similar to those used by the healthy nerve and therefore
operates on both the red/slow and white/fast muscle fibres. Diana uses treatment units that are designed to be used at home supplemented by three monthly visits to the therapist for review on the treatments progress. |
