Basic Principle of Myofascial Acoustic Compression Therapy (MyACT)
Myofascial Acoustic Compression Therapy is a new non-surgical technology that uses acoustic pulses to treat acute and chronic pain in muscles, tendons and joints. These acoustic sound waves are short duration, intense energy pulses that are generated outside of the body (extracorporeal) to stimulate healing for various conditions of the musculoskeletal system. The sound waves converge to a point that permeates within soft tissue to exert a mechanical stress on cells. This includes breaking up areas of muscular spasm, forcing lactic acid out of damaged tissues, and promoting blood flow and oxygen to help revitalize damaged cells.
