Myofascial Acoustic Compression Therapy (MyACT) with the PiezoWave²
ELvation Medical USA are the world leaders on Piezo Pressure Wave technology. From Olympic athletes and professional sports teams, they’ve bought relief to those who were in pain without the use of unnecessary painkillers or invasive procedures.
Myofascial Acoustic Compression Therapy (MyACT®™) is widely used in the treatment of acute and chronic pain in muscles, tendons and joints. MyACT describes the use of acoustic waves to target tissue at varying depths to compress and manipulate tissue resulting in a focused and precise deep tissue massage. The results of the mechanical stimulus delivered by MyACT can lead to increased circulation, range of motion and pain relief – key components in the healing process.
The PiezoWave2 has a simple user interface and foot pedal controls that enhance it’s daily use. The control unit recognizes which therapy source is plugged in to provide the appropriate energy spectrum during use Individual settings can be adjusted with just a few keystrokes and via the treatment control foot pedals. The PiezoWave2 MyACT is designed with an IPad Holder offering you the possibility to attach your IPad to display patient information and treatment charts.

More about MyACT
Focusing in on your pain
The acoustic waves generated by the PiezoWave2 painlessly pass through the
body and converge at a point deep within the soft tissue to produce an intense,
extremely short duration compression event. The focused acoustic compression
is translated to tissue to provide a massage with pin – point accuracy to the
affected area.
Patient guided pain relief
The sources of pain are not always found in the area where the pain seems to be
radiating from. Diagnosis of referred pain and the recognition of the originating pain triggering points can be accomplished using the PiezoWave2. Abnormal musculoskeletal tissue can
be “flared” with focused MyACT in order to define the areas that require treatment.
How long does treatment take?
• A typical PiezoWave2 treatment takes between 10 and 20 minutes
• Normally, 1-2 treatments per week are performed • A total of 3-5 treatments may be necessary before lasting improvement is achieved
• With acute pain, a single session is often successful

Real Bodywork App
A Reference for the most common trigger points and referral patterns for over 70 muscles. Features 100+ trigger points with their corresponding referral patterns. Each muscle includes the visual referral pattern and point location, plus a written muscle action, referral and comments for each muscle. You can choose to view each muscle individually, or use the zones view to see all the muscles that refer into a specific area, a great help in discovering the source of pain.
