Functions

• Increases metabolic activity by stimulating adenosine triphosphate (ATP) which gives cells the energy needed for chemical reactions
• Anti-inflammatory action reduces swelling and pain caused by tissue and joint inflammation thus allowing for movement and reducing the need to apply ice as soon as possible;
• Anti-pain function applied on known acupuncture points in order to activate releasing of endorphins and enkephalin;
• Local muscular relaxation function; loosens trigger points
• Increases cicatrization speed, stimulates development of fibroblasts and accelerates synthesis of collagen in damaged tissue while avoiding formation of fibrous scar tissue;
• Tissue repair: causes increase of blood flow towards affected zones.
