The HIVAMAT® is a great adjunct therapy for a variety of soft tissue injuries. It reduces and controls edema quickly. This decreases pain and helps patients gain range of motion and muscle recruitment quicker, allowing them to progress in their rehab and strength training in a timely manner. We commonly use HIVAMAT on ankle sprains, tendonitis, tennis elbow and post-op knees and ankles. There is no substitute for the HIVAMAT® and when we order it, we make sure our patients are referred to a therapy center that has a HIVAMAT®. We have been very pleased with our patient satisfaction and quick recoveries with the use of HIVAMAT®.

We began using the HIVAMAT® 200 Evident and HIVAMAT® 200 Personal machines several months ago. Since that time we have implemented a treatment plan for our post operative patients which allows them to choose to have their HIVAMAT® treatments in our office or at home. This allows the patient to feel they are contributing to their own recovery time. They have told us it is easy to use and they have seen improvements in both edema and bruising.
We are very pleased with the HIVAMAT® units and the service that has accompanied them. Our patients benefir from the use of the HIVAMAT® and their post operative recovery is not as strenuous or as lengthy. We also like the fact the patients can begin treatment as early as post operative day one.

John V. Williams, M.D., F.A.C.S., at the Aesthetic Surgery Center, Inc., in Baton Rouge, is the only plastic surgeon in Louisiana to use Hivamat Electrostatic Massage Therapy in his practice.
HIVAMAT® Electrostatic Massage Therapy uses pulsed electrostatic energy to create a field in the affected area. The result is resonant oscillation that penetrates the deep tissue and stimulates the body's natural recovery process. With minimal pressure, the therapist can penetrate the core of the affected area. Advantages of undergoing therapy with the Hivamat System include:
* Treatment of a wide variety of post cosmetic procedures
* Effective treatment of edema (acceleration of lymph flow)
* Treatment of a wide array of sports-related injuries (acute, subacute, and chronic) as well as pain resulting from muscular exertion
* Comfortable relaxation therapy for tranquilization and regeneration
* Decreased bruising
HIVAMAT® Electrostatic Massage Therapy is used by the NFL to reduce player downtime. This therapy decreases our patients' recovery time by promoting the healing process and increasing the body's natural rate of recovery.

The HIVAMAT® 200 has turned out to be our most popular treatment and we have had great results with everything from rotator cuff tendonitis to lumbar strain to plantar fasciatis. The unit is easy to use and seems to help our patients from their very first treatment.

I would like to prescribe the HIVAMAT® for **** ***** to use with his right elbow surgeries and problems that have resulted from his injury. This is a therapy machine that he can travel with, so he will be able to use it at home, at the stadium and in his hotel when he travels with the Los Angeles Dodgers team. He has been using the machine and it has helped decrease the symptoms that he has had and will help him with his recovery in the future.
