Transeva Therapy UK

What is Transeva Therapy and How does it work?

Transeva Therapy and the Winks Greene Transeva is the result of continued extensive development of a physiotherapeutic machine using Faradic principles.

It is based on the innovative work started over 50 years ago by

Sir Charles Strong - specialist Physiotherapist to the Royal Family.

Transeva Therapy works by applying a low current electrical impulse to the body through a hand-held electrode. This impulse, called a Faradic wave, stimulates rhythmic muscle contraction in the patient and has a number of positive effects.

Firstly, by initiating contraction of the muscle, there is an increase in blood flow to the area, bringing a large supply of oxygen and nourishment to the injured part.

There are many ways of bringing in blood to an injured area, but Transeva is unique in that it increases the return circulation of metabolic waste products at the same rate, therefore preventing congestion in the tissue which could slow healing time. With improved nourishment and more efficient waste removal, the muscle is allowed to heal and return to its normal tone and function in less time!

Muscle injuries often go hand-in-hand with injuries to nerves, which can lead to muscle weakness and possibly wasting of muscle tissue. Transeva Therapy’s action of muscle contraction simultaneously encourages nerve integration, thus preventing further wasting and allowing muscles to heal and return to normal faster and with less chance of re-injury.

Transeva Therapy breaks through adhesions and scarring which may start to form in the muscles, especially in the case of more chronic injuries. This is important, as adhesions and scarring can prevent the muscle from contracting at its full potential, which may lead to pain, further injury and of course decreased muscle strength.

Sir Charles summarised the effects as follows:

• Muscle Elasticity - Irritability and Contractibility (i.e. Muscle tone) is rapidly returned to normal.

• An increase of blood is brought to the muscles and the neighbouring tissue with all the attendant beneficial physiological chemical consequences.

• Waste tissue products are rapidly cleaned away and stagnation of lymph, with serious sequelae, is prevented.

• A large supply of oxygen and nourishment is brought to the injured part.

• Rapid absorption of fluid and extravasated blood and lymph is actively promoted.

• Beneficial chemical and physical changes after muscle activity takes place.

• Lymph formation is prevented by the muscular contractions, and the dangers of adhesions are minimised.

• As the movements do much to prevent stagnation of lymph in aerolar tissue in the joint interspaces, the danger of aerolar tissue losing suppleness and flexibility, so necessary for joint action, is diminished.

• In the later stages of sprains, or if treatment has been long delayed, and adhesions have formed in the muscles and periarticular tissues, the adherent surfaces are gently and gradually torn apart by causing increasingly powerful contractions to the muscles separately.

• Muscles are prevented from wasting, particularly if treatment is given soon after injury. Muscles already wasted increase in bulk.

• No attempt is made to cut short the process of inflammation but to guide and control the process.
