Physiotherapy

The diamagnetic pump is an advanced medical device that uses high-intensity, low-frequency magnetic fields to generate therapeutic effects in the body in a non-invasive and painless manner. Its operating principle is based on diamagnetism, a property of certain materials that generates repulsion against magnetic fields, allowing liquids and substances to be displaced within the body.

Its application is painless and non-invasive, which makes it suitable for a wide range of medical conditions.

In addition, it allows for non-invasive drug administration through molecular implantation, facilitating the penetration of therapeutic substances to a depth of 7 cm without the need for needles.

Kineo Multistation is a revolutionary machine designed for functional recovery, physical rehabilitation, and athletic performance.

Kineo Multistation enables assessment, sports training and physical rehabilitation in a single device, offering versatility and integrating training, analysis and assessment stages into a single piece of equipment.

Kineo Multistation is ideal for any fitness level. It is suitable for everything from the initial stages of post-injury or post-surgical rehabilitation to complete body reactivation and improved athletic performance.

The application of high-power laser in a recognised model of chronic neuropathic pain shows a clear and lasting reduction in painful symptoms. Combined with a recovery of functionality. From a biological viewpoint, treatment with MiS promotes the recovery of damaged nerve fibres in the injury area. This has been confirmed by histological and immunohistochemical analyses. More specifically, the reorganisation of the myelin sheath is important for both nerve trophism and conduction.

MiS is a state-of-the-art device. The high instantaneous peak power and controlled average power are consistent with the choice to pursue efficacy while protecting patient safety in every application. Short pulse modulation allows peak power to be controlled, taking advantage of the therapeutic benefits in complete safety and avoiding harmful thermal effects.

Originally, focal shock waves were used in urology to break up gallstones or kidney stones and facilitate their removal. Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is now also used in physiotherapy, orthopaedics, and general rehabilitation and sports medicine to treat chronic and acute discomfort across many musculoskeletal conditions.

Focal shock wave therapy offers rapid recovery with long-lasting effects in the most common applications in orthopaedic practice.

Studies indicate:

• Long-term pain relief, often even during or immediately after treatment.
• A noticeable positive effect on inflammatory reactions in musculoskeletal discomfort or conditions.
• Very good effects on bone healing, especially in the treatment of non-healing fractures and pseudoarthrosis.
• Elimination of calcifications in tendons, for example in the shoulder.
• There is solid scientific evidence that shock waves improve pain in epicondylitis, trochanteritis, patellar and Achilles tendinopathy, and supraspinatus tendinopathy, plantar fasciitis and bone pathology (oedema, stress fractures, delayed healing...).

Diagnostic device used in physiotherapy for monitoring injuries and for the use of invasive techniques.

Innovative high-power inductive therapy, a new standard in pain reduction therapies.

In addition to its effectiveness in treating pain, high-power inductive therapy is used to define muscle tone, improve blood circulation, and activate the regeneration process.

The Emfield Pro generates a 3 Tesla magnetic field. This powerful magnetic field stimulates nerve cells, muscles, and consequently blood vessels.

Hyperthermia is defined as a form of thermotherapy capable of treating tissues within the narrow temperature range in which heat optimises its therapeutic efficacy. The maximum therapeutic efficacy of heat, for a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, occurs when the increase in temperature induces a sudden increase in blood perfusion (hyperemia) in the treatment area, which is usually between 41 and 44.5 °C.

Endogenous thermotherapy based on the capacitive and resistive principle of energy transfer (capacitive-resistive diathermy) has an effect within biological tissues, activating natural repair and anti-inflammatory processes from within.

Tecar therapy is able to significantly reduce recovery and rehabilitation time because it stimulates the activation of all the body’s natural processes.

This is all thanks to the application of radiofrequency current, which causes a thermal reaction in the tissues that stimulates the natural heating response with immediate anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects on the muscles, tendons, cartilage, and ligaments of the bones.

Both systems, capacitive and resistive, allow the physiotherapist to easily adjust the therapy according to the type of pathology. Capacitive transfer for tissues with high water content (muscles), resistive transfer with very high resistance and low water content (bones, tendons, adipose tissues).

An electromyograph is a device used to record muscle activity by performing an electromyogram (EMG).

It may be prescribed in cases of muscle pain to check that the muscles are functioning properly. This pain may be purely muscular in origin (e.g. due to muscle fatigue) or neuromuscular, i.e. affecting the motor nervous system and possibly the onset of neuropathy.

They can also be useful for detecting and monitoring the progression of diseases such as carpal tunnel syndrome or Guillain-Barré syndrome.

At Olympia Pozuelo, the electromyograph is used to evaluate muscle contraction activation and the synchronisation of different muscles in affected areas, such as patellar or Achilles tendinopathies, in order to then be able to carry out a specific programme based on this data to synchronise that muscle complex.

Magnetic therapy or biomagnetism is a medical treatment based on the use and application of magnetic fields on the body. These fields react with the ions in the tissues, which then allows relaxation and leads to smoother blood circulation, among other benefits. It can therefore be used to improve or heal inflammation and injuries, and is mainly used on bones.

Invasive physiotherapy is a specialised physiotherapy technique that uses needles or other devices to directly access injured tissues and apply therapeutic stimuli. Unlike traditional physiotherapy, which focuses on external treatments such as manual therapy and exercises, invasive physiotherapy seeks to have a more direct impact on the affected tissue.

Cryo-compression devices are systems that combine therapeutic cold (cryotherapy) and active compression in a single device, ideal for muscle recovery and inflammation reduction. This equipment usually encompasses a control unit and bandages or garments that fit the area of the body to be treated.

Force plates are valuable tools for physical assessment and training, providing accurate data to optimise performance and health. After analysing the data, the physiotherapists at Olympia Pozuelo design a therapeutic exercise programme to correct, improve and optimise muscle performance. Force plates are the "Gold standard" in evaluating footballers, basketball players, and racquet sports players.

The AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill is a treadmill that uses technology to reduce the user’s effective body weight, allowing them to run or walk with less impact on their joints and muscles. It works by using a pressure chamber to reduce the load of the body’s weight, allowing for more natural and safer movement, especially for rehabilitation and injury recovery.

Next-generation equipment and design for lower limb injury rehabilitation focused on the glutes, quadriceps, and hamstrings. These devices can be used to work on different aspects of strength, such as maximum strength, strength endurance, and power. By improving these qualities, post-surgical patients will find that the affected area has greater strength and stability, which helps them improve movement control.

Multi-functional RACK and state-of-the-art strength training equipment. These devices help physiotherapists at Olympia Centro Médico Pozuelo rehabilitate patients. By creating specific therapeutic exercise plans for each patient and injury, it is possible to improve previously set goals. The use of elastic bands, guided weight-lifting bars, free weights, and all types of grips makes the injury rehabilitation process as versatile as possible for the patient.
