Muscle Delta
Muscular Therapy Robot
How does the Muscle Delta Assistant compare?
- We use SIMPLE PRESSURE, SAFE, NON-INVASIVE, NON-SURGICAL, MEDICATION FREE, PRECISION THERAPY.
- We slowly apply external pressure to allow us to go deeply into the muscle, which is required to properly affect healing and lengthening of a muscle to a healthy state.
- There is ABSOLUTELY ZERO collateral damage.
- It is 100% PRECISION THERAPY, applied only to the specific muscle needed and to the specific location on that muscle.
Electrical Therapy:
- In order to treat deeply, max power must be used, INDISCRIMINATELY BLASTS INTO THE BODY, no “marking” of the treatment area is defined.
- Just turn it up high and apply to skin and hope.
- No real long term studies on potential collateral damage.
- Notice the placement of “pads” on the body. They are treating the back, but directly underneath those back muscles are most of your critical organs. So when the electrical current is turned up, what might happen to your organs??
- Messy, need lubricant to assist conductivity. Many consumables, the pads.
- Many physiological change claims are made including many muscular functions. Most are NOT trackable or measurable.
- All of these devices make similar claims.
Laser Therapy:
- Vendors display a few x-rays showing before and after with bone spurs gone, but the Doctors in the field who are skeptical think that holes can be left in bones, and calcium is indiscriminately removed. No “markers” for what material/bone to remove.
- In order to treat deeply, max power must be used, INDISCRIMINATELY BLASTS INTO THE BODY, no “marking” of the treatment area inside the body is defined. To penetrate deeply into a muscle/body, the power must be turned up very high. Imagine how high this has to be turned up to dissolve bone.
- No real long term studies on potential collateral damage.
- Many claims to physiologically change related to healing and other muscular functions. Many of these are not trackable or measurable. All of these devices make similar claims.
- Both patient and therapist need to wear protective glasses, and many times the actual therapy is applied by an inexpensive “tech/PTA”.
Shockwave Therapy:
- In order to treat deeply, max power must be used, INDISCRIMINATELY BLASTS INTO THE BODY, no “marking” of the treatment area is defined. To penetrate deeply into a muscle, the power must be turned up very high.
- Many claims to physiologically change related to healing and other muscular functions. Most of these are not trackable or measurable.
- All of these devices make similar claims.
Magnetic Therapy:
- In order to treat deeply, max power must be used, INDISCRIMINATELY BLASTS INTO THE BODY, no “marking” of the treatment area is defined. To penetrate deeply into a muscle, the power must be turned up very high.
- Many claims to physiologically change related to healing and other muscular functions. These are not trackable or measurable.
- All of these devices make similar claims.
Dry Needling Therapy:
Total lack of studies INVASIVE!
- Can draw blood, poking holes in derma NON-HYGENIC.
- PT Offices are more like gyms than sterile procedure locations.
- You apply this therapy on a treatment table, and then a pregnant woman is next patient, what did you do to ensure safety of her baby after an invasive procedure??
Hand Held Modalities:
- Not effective in truly treating muscles. usually applied to incorrect muscles.
- Does not penetrate deeply, millimeters at best.
- Operating these devices is not healthy. Continually holding a vibrating device can lead to tremor syndromes such as Parkinson’s Disease.
- Home users definitely do not know how to select the proper muscles. Where the pain is located is rarely the place causing the muscles stress. An example is shoulder pain is typically caused by muscles in the front that are shortened and pulling alignment forward. That causes muscles in the back to be stretched to far and cause pain. The extra weight being supported by head being pulled forward exacerbates the should pain. By lengthening SCM, Levator Scapulae, Scalenes, and Pec Minor, and possibly a few others, we can return proper alignment. The head goes back over the shoulders, and magically (well, not so magically, it’s simple engineering) the shoulder pain goes away. But as importantly, we have stopped the snowball effect that sooner or later would creep from shoulders into hips, knees, feet, etc… due to body misalignment.
Massage Therapy:
- Great for SPAs, not for PRECISION THERAPY. Messy oils, usually not treating correct muscles, inaccurate
Traction & Chiro Therapy:
- Traction and Chiropractic can be very effective, but first YOU MUST LENGTHEN THE MUSCLES.
- Trying to change alignment without loosening the correct muscles will FAIL every time.
- Once the appropriate muscles have been lengthened, then chiro and traction can be safely and effectively applied.
