THERAPEUTIC EFFECTS
It provides pain relief for, causes increased metabolism, variation in pain threshold in the subacute and chronic phases and reduction of muscle spasm. Muscle relaxation is also another effect due to increased collagen extensibility and a reduction in the excitability of muscle spindles. Acceleration of tissue repair, metabolism increase, blood flow, enzyme activity and chemical processes together with vasodilatation improved the healing and cell mitosis. Because the temperature rise also occurs increase the elasticity of the tissue (collagen extensibility).
