Physiological Effects
Clinicians have been aware of the physiological effects of Fluidotherapy for over eighteen years. The specially designed fluidized tank combines the precise control of dry heat temperature and airflow with Cellex ® medium. This combination works to generate the mechanical effect of limb buoyancy.
• Clinical Heating provides the warmth, increased localized circulaton and pain diminishing effects to help increase joint range of motion. The transfer of kinetic energy to an immersed limb results in a comforting massage, which allows for increased exercise range and decreased localized pain.
• Limb buoyancy, combined with clinical heating, provides an environment that allows the patient to work with less restriction from pain, which helps increase the joint range of motion when combined with exercise.
• Increases localized circulation and assists in decreased pain.
Applications of Dry Heat Therapy
• Localized Pain
• Decreased Range of Motion
• Decreased Localized Blood Circulation
• Minor Pain and Stiffness of Non-rheumatoid Arthritis
