What Is the Thera Plex Unit?
|
|
The
Thera Plex Unit is a scientifically developed, well researched, thoroughly tested,
variable speed, passive exercise unit. It is designed for professional medical purposes,
to be placed in such locations as hospitals and/or health related care facilities. It also
performs successfully in an institutional environment, as well as the corporate or home
areas. When the unit is operated under proper direction or with some training, the
benefits are profound.
The Thera Plex Unit is capable of moving all joints through their complete range of motion
at any desired speed and frequency of repetition. This system has the unique ability to
move each joint individually, move groups of joints together, and/or all joints
simultaneously. This is accomplished solely by the unit and eliminates the necessity of
the one-on-one treatment modality of classic physical therapy. This characteristic of the
Thera Plex Unit allows for a reduction of personnel, which, in turn, reduces the cost to
the patient. Each patient is individually evaluated to determine their capabilities and
the unit is then adjusted to the clients tolerance. The actual movement is performed
by the unit to the specifications set by the therapist. This therapy creates such
relaxation that many individuals are able to sleep during their treatment.
This passive exercise program has been found by numerous studies, conducted over the last
twenty years, to be significantly remedial for those with muscle-debilitating conditions.
By passively moving all muscle groups, the Thera Plex Unit causes a patients
remaining muscle to act as an auxiliary muscle pump (such as occurs in healthy and mobile
people). All of this is accomplished without causing the weakened muscle to perform any
work. Passive motion improves the sluggish circulation characteristically found in
sedentary people, such as stroke patients. The benefits of this passive exercise program
include stress reduction, tension relief, good feeling reactions, cardiovascular
conditioning with favorable pulse and blood pressure changes, and a mild diuretic effect.
The Thera Plex Unit also improves the altered gastrointestinal mobility of the sedentary
patient, which, in turn, leads to better bowel function. Significant improvements in
anxiety, mood, depressive reactions and sleep patterns are frequently observed. In
addition, blood samples show positive changes in high density lipid blood levels;
comparable to those of well conditioned athletes. In other words, one sees specific, as
well as general, improvements in bodily functions.
When all its capabilities are considered, the Thera Plex Unit is like a ray of sunlight on
a cloudy day to those individuals with muscle debilitating conditions. If all this sounds
too good to be true, we offer you the opportunity to evaluate the Thera Plex Unit
yourself. We invite you to come and enjoy a complimentary treatment. It will then be
possible for you to evaluate what the Thera Plex Unit is capable of doing. As your muscles
and joints benefit from this, you too will become a believer in the Thera Plex Unit, just
as thousands before you have.
