Physiotherapy Office
The UMECIT Physiotherapy Clinic offers a support mechanism for students, teachers or administrators who need personalized care guided by a qualified health professional, under the parameters of current social distancing.
The consultation will be carried out via video call, which is not intended to replace the in-person assistance of the patient, and will last approximately 40-45 minutes. During this time, a clinical interview, assessment and study of the situation will be carried out to determine the measures to be taken, and the convenience and indication of active physiotherapy measures.

THERAPEUTIC EQUIPMENT
Basic Principles: Deep Oscillation is a unique treatment method. The electrostatic impulses move the tissue with pleasant oscillations and deep action (skin, connective tissue, subcutaneous fat, muscles and in blood and lymphatic vessels).
Physiological Effects: Pain mitigation, anti-inflammatory effects, edema resorption, stimulation of wound healing, reduction of skin redness, improvement of tissue quality.
Basic Principles: Stands out for combining the strengths of several technologies. The synergy of high-frequency tecartherapy current and electrical stimulation, associated and emitted through the same electrode, allows to obtain a fast and powerful analgesic effect.
Physiological Effects: Anti-inflammatory effects, muscle relaxation, increases local temperature, blood flow regulation, direct tissue stimulation, increases the regenerative process.
Basic Principles: Is a reliable device that allows a wide range of physiotherapeutic treatments. Two completely independent treatment channels and one channel for magnetotherapy or laser therapy make it a multitasking device for physiotherapists.
Physiological Effects: Anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, muscle relaxation, vasodilatation.
Basic Principles: Leg Recovery System for Athlete, Leg Recovery with Patented Dynamic Compression Massage Technology, Standard.
Physiological Effects: Get over muscle pain. Normatec is the best massage of your life. It is proven that it helps lymphatic drainage and reduces discomfort so that the laces do not hinder your performance.
Basic principles: iLux SMART is a powerful system high intensity laser therapy, versatile and compact.
iLux SMART is lightweight, compact and easy to use: these features, combined with its performance, make it the perfect ally for any therapist who needs an intuitive and reliable device in your daily work.
Basic Principles: The Kineo Multistation gives the possibility to work the lower body in open and closed kinetic chains with the help of innovative training methods.
Benefits: has landed in the sports, health and physiotherapy market to revolutionize the panorama with a rehabilitation and sports training machine that has no limits. The Kineo System allows users to replace traditional weights with a more modern, less harmful and more personalized alternative, thus obtaining more satisfactory results.
Basic Principles: CTU Shock Wave produces a shock wave resulting from the interaction between the field flow of the electromagnetic coil and an acoustic lens, made of a highly diamagnetic alloy. The lens undergoes strong acceleration, thus generating an acoustic impulse of almost 0.1 µsec. This type of shock wave is called a DIAMAGNETIC SHOCK WAVE.
The diamagnetic technology of CTU S Wave allows to significantly expand the application of shock waves not only in chronic but also acute pathologies, offering a complete intervention and aimed at significantly reducing therapy times and accelerating the receptivity of the tissues and as a consequence the healing.
Basic Principles: (anti-gravity treadmill) for physiotherapy and rehabilitation. AlterG® uses the patented Differential Air Pressure technology that reduces up to 80% of the patient's weight allowing them to move without pain. Help your patients shorten orthopedic recovery times, manage neurological conditions and chronic diseases, build strength and endurance during aging, and increase athletic performance.
Basic Principles: Portable magnetotherapy equipment for use both in specialized clinics and directly by the patient. Very easy to use - One button operation.
Physiological Effects:
- Pain reduction
- Promotes tissue healing and regeneration processes
Helps reduce inflammation
Basic Principles: It allows electric current to work in the tissues in diseases and injuries of the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system, as well as in supporting the regeneration of weakened tissues and muscles.
Basic Principles: It enables effective ultrasound therapy both in physiotherapy clinics and in community work with patients. The device, thanks to the built-in treatment programs, makes it easier for the physiotherapist to achieve the best possible effects of the ultrasound waves.
