RSQ1 Muscle Stimulation
RSQ1 is a brand of muscle stimulation, unique to painPRO Therapeutics and operated exclusively by practitioners Chris Tierney, Physiotherapist and Dr. Anthony McDougall, Chiropractor. The RSQ1 uses electrical currents to stimulate muscles while also permitting movement. It is commonly used to improve muscle length, strength and function, reduce pain, and promote muscle recovery after injury or surgery. The RSQ1 is widely used in European sports, especially with Italian Serie A soccer teams as well as many different sports in Holland, the country where this machine was developed and produced. Its uses include physiotherapy, rehabilitation, sports medicine and performance.
The principle behind the RSQ1 is based on the fact that muscles contract when they receive electrical impulses. By delivering carefully controlled electrical currents to specific muscle groups, therapists can create muscle contractions that are stronger and more coordinated than those produced by voluntary movements. This technique is also known as neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) or electrical muscle stimulation (EMS).
The RSQ1 muscle stimulation device consists of a small portable unit that delivers electrical impulses to the skin via electrodes. These electrodes are placed over the targeted muscles, and the device is then adjusted to deliver the desired level of stimulation. The intensity of the stimulation can be adjusted depending on the patient's needs and tolerance level. During an RSQ1 muscle stimulation session, the patient will feel a tingling, buzzing, and cramping sensation in the area where the electrodes are placed. This sensation is modified with movement, allowing the patient to tolerate an increase in the intensity level as the treatment progresses.
RSQ1 muscle stimulation is used for a variety of therapeutic purposes. It is commonly used in physiotherapy to help patients recover from injuries or surgeries that have caused muscle weakness or atrophy. The electrical currents delivered by the RSQ1 can help to improve muscle strength, increase range of motion, and promote muscle recovery and better joint control.
RSQ1 muscle stimulation is also used in sports medicine to help athletes recover from injuries and improve their performance. By using the RSQ1 to target specific muscle groups, athletes can improve their strength and endurance, reduce the risk of injury, and recover more quickly from strenuous workouts.
RSQ1 muscle stimulation can also be used to reduce pain and improve circulation in patients with chronic pain conditions. The electrical currents delivered by the RSQ1 muscle stimulation can help to reduce pain and inflammation, increase blood flow, and promote healing.
Overall, RSQ1 muscle stimulation is a safe and effective therapeutic device that can be used for a variety of purposes. It is tailored to meet the specific needs of each patient. If you are interested in the RSQ1 as a treatment option, please make an appointment with either Chris Tierney or Anthony McDougall at painPRO Therapeutics to explore the possibilities.
