2 EVIDENCE BASED TREATMENT WORKS DIRECTLY ON SKIN AND THROUGH CLOTHES VIBRATIONS REACH 6 CM DEEP local vibration therapy evidence based, gentle and easy WIDE RANGE OF APPLICATIONS RECOMMENDED BY HEALTH PROFESSIONALS NON-INVASIVE AND DRUG-FREE PAIN RELIEF EASY, GENTLE AND SAFE TREATMENT NO SIDE EFFECTS Local vibration therapy is a non-invasive solution for muscle tension, chronic pain and effects of a stroke. Permanent results can be achieved especially in physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech and language therapy and osteopathy. The most frequent application areas are the treatment of chronic muscle, joint and tendon diseases such as arthritis, tennis elbow, heel spur and myalgia. In neurorehabilitation it is effective to reduce spasticity, neglect and voice and swallowing disorders. In pain management, local vibration therapy can be used for phantom pain, muscle tension, trigger points and chronic pain. The mechanic vibrations of stiivii reach six centimetres deep into the tissue. This increases blood circulation and metabolism, regulates muscle tension and deeply stimulates the tissue. Moreover, regeneration and repair mechanisms are stimulated. The treatment with stiivii is both activating and relaxing it makes your system work. stiivii is unique thanks to its versatile applications. Due to several physiological effects it can be used in a range of areas, such as neurorehabilitation, orthopaedics, pain management, paediatrics, otolaryngology and post surgery. stiivii devices feature either one or two frequency settings with 50 Hz and 100 Hz. Our wide variety of product attachments allow an individual use in various fields of treatment. The ergonomically shaped device fits perfectly in your hand during the treatment.

3 mode of action how stiivii devices work application areas - neurorehabilitation - orthopaedics - pain management - paediatrics - otolaryngology - post surgery regulating muscle tension: The mechanic vibrations of stiivii reach six centimetres deep into the tissue. If vibrations with a frequency of 100 Hz meet a relaxed muscle the muscle contracts. This reflex is also known as tonic vibration reflex (TVR). The consequence is an increase in muscle tension and force potential. At the same time, the stimulation causes a relaxation of the antagonist local vibration therapy uses this mechanism for the treatment of spasticity. stimulating metabolism: The muscle contractions and the deep stimulation caused by the vibrations improve blood circulation. As a result local regulation mechanisms of vascular and tissue are strengthened. The stimulated tissue gets better blood supply, metabolism is stimulated and metabolic waste can be removed more quickly. pain relief: Vibrations have a pain-relieving effect. The so-called gate control theory claims that pain stimuli can be overlaid by other stimuli such as vibrations, cold or pressure. The pain transmission to the brain can be inhibited. This effect could be proven in numerous studies for both acute and chronic pain. Vibration was found to have a similar analgesic effect as pain killers. Local vibration therapy can therefore serve as a drug-free alternative. sensory stimulation: The brain is in permanent contact with the peripheral nervous system. Skin, muscles, joints and tendons send information about positions, contacts, pain or temperature. In consequence of damaged nerves sensory disturbances can occur. Sensory deficits can include numbness or odd sensations of tingling. In local vibration therapy, sensory impulses on the tissue help to stimulate the conduction of information to the brain. The use of vibrations plays an important role as they improve both deep and superficial sensibility.

4 areas of use and treatment goals stiivii pro The all-rounder. It is the most versatile device and comes with a handy extension handle. 2 LEVELS FACIAL PALSY VOICE AND SWALLOWING DISORDERS SENSORY DEFICITS NEGLECT TENNIS ELBOW stiivii power The strong one. It has a slightly stronger adjustment and is great for really tensed muscles and sensory deficits. + 2 LEVELS SPASTICITY ARTHRITIS MYALGIA / CHRONIC PAIN + ACUPRESSURE + TRIGGER POINTS SCAR TREATMENT HEEL SPUR stiivii classic The original. It has proven its worth for many years as a robust and handy companion for daily use. 1 LEVEL scar treatment and hand therapy - reduce pain and adhesion - reduce numbness and limited range of motion - increase blood flow and metabolism - support scar tissue repair - reduce sensitivity from nerve problems pain management - reduce joint, muscle and phantom pain - inhibit transmission of nociceptive and neuropathic pain - reduce muscle tension - trigger point treatment - remove metabolic waste stiivii soft The gentle one. Stiivii soft is especially for children and sensitive people or facial treatment. 1 LEVEL neurorehabilitation - reduce spasticity - reduce spatial neglect - improve gait and mobility - reduce sensory disturbances - facilitate motor control tasks voice and swallowing therapy - trigger the swallowing reflex - reduce scar tissue and enhance range of motion after chemoradiotherapy - regulate muscle tension in voice disorders - stimulate nerves and muscles in facial and vocal cord palsy stiivii compact head It is great for trigger points and smaller treatment areas. The vibrations can be applied in a more concentrated and intensified way.

This is exciting because it is something that provides pain relief that is not associated with great cost. Prof Roland Staud, University of Florida Vibration has been suggested as a possible non-pharmacological way to control spasticity. Combined with physiotherapy it was shown to reduce spasticity significantly. Casale et al European Journal of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine Neck muscle vibration is a decisive factor in the rehabilitation of spatial neglect and induces lasting recovery when given as a supplement to conventional exploration training.
