I can really get to a much greater depth than near possible with my hands and manual tools alone offering a more comprehensive approach to better care for my patients.

The Intelect Mobile 2 RPW is a great example of today’s technology in providing cost effective solutions in conservative management of many neuromusculoskeletal conditions.

Intelect Mobile 2 RPW allows me to address the cause of the pain and more importantly the dysfunction. People are more interested in fixing the problem and not just masking the pain or taking medication, and RPW allows me to do just that.

WHAT IS RADIAL PRESSURE WAVE THERAPY?

Radial Pressure Waves (RPW) are acoustic waves that generate oscillations in the tissue. The wave hits the body at skin surface and from there travels radially into the body to a depth of around 2”. In the body, the pressure waves help stimulate metabolic activity and the body’s intrinsic healing mechanism.¹

TREATMENT GOALS
OF RPW THERAPY

Helps reduce muscle pain and aches
Temporarily aids in the increase of blood flow.
Helps activate connective tissue
Aids in the treatment of hip pain due to tendinitis²
Aids in the treatment of tendinitis due to shoulder calcification³
