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:
- 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.
- 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:
- 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 to remove can be used.
- 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.
- 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 accurate, do not penetrate deeply, usually applied to incorrect muscles
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.
