?:definition
  • Equipment that combines the simultaneous administration of heat with gentle massage to the tissues during physical therapy treatments. These machines typically consist of a unit that provides heating energy (e.g., radiofrequency [RF] and infrared [IR] light) and vibratory (e.g., suctioning) massage to the tissues simultaneously using a common handheld applicator. A typical machine combines in the same unit: (1) a device to deliver vibration (may be ultrasonic) and gentle negative pressure suctioning to the skin through the applicator; (2) dedicated heating sources such as infrared (IR) heat lamps and/or radiofrequency (RF) generators to provide monopolar and/or bipolar RF energy in the form of heat to the tissues; and (3) one or more detachable applicators for simultaneous delivery of the IR and RF energy and vibratory (roller) suctioning massage. Some machines may incorporate other forms of heating energy, including laser and ultrasound. Physical therapy massage and tissue heating machines are used for relieving muscle spasms and alleviate muscle aches and pains. They are also intended for temporary improvement of the local blood circulation and/or the external appearance of the body (i.e., cosmetic contouring), especially in areas affected by cellulitis.
