Description

Our expert presents different C.R.E.T. therapies for six specific pathologies. In each lesson you’ll get to follow a step-by-step sequence of how experts use the TCare device in interaction with the patient. In each specific case we follow acute phase and subacute phase C.R.E.T. treatments.

Before the start of each treatment our expert shows correct passive plate positioning. We also show how active therapeutic ingredients can be used in combination with the carrier cream and demonstrate how the appropriate dosage is introduced into the roll-on capsule. You’ll see how easily the capsules are inserted into the Roll-On handpieces and we’ll show how Roll-On handpiece sizes are selected in relation the to-be-treated area.

You’ll discover how the therapeutic frequencies and energy emission intensity are selected using the LED display on the control panel. You’ll see how experts can accurately follow C.R.E.T. energy transfer within the patient while therapy is in progress. Our expert will show how treatment duration (in minutes) and therapeutic working frequencies (in MHz) are set on the control panel. During each specific treatment you’ll see how our expert benefits from the original, ergonomic Roll-On handpiece design to be able to provide a continuous, comfortable and gentle massage motion to anatomical topographically different areas.

In several of the lessons, 3D animations explain the different C.R.E.T. working principles in capacitive and resistive modes. You’ll see how C.R.E.T: energy transfer facilitates active therapeutic ingredient delivery in combination with the carrier cream into the to-be-treated area. You’ll see how the Roll-On handpieces help deliver carrier cream and active therapeutic ingredient, gradually and without waste during a treatment. 3D animations demonstrate the cellular repair processes that are initiated within the treated area during local treatments. In subacute phase treatments the steps in our C.R.E.T. treatment process are similar to the acute phase treatments. Before a treatment we always insert conductive, carrier cream into the Roll-On capsule. For subacute phase treatments we will often select the resistive mode for the majority of the treatment; a 3D animation will explain this in more detail. We then select the most appropriate therapeutic working frequency and correctly position the passive plate, followed by choosing the right energy emission intensity. Then the treatment can be started, preferably accompanied with assisted mobilisation of the patient.

Lecturer

Miss. Alice Zelco
TCARE Therapy expert
Doctor in Physiotherapy
(University of Trieste - Italy)
Alice attained her Master’s degree in Physiotherapy at the University of Trieste (Italy). In the first decade of her career she gained most of her medical professional experience in professional sports, working with Italian National Team athletes. Later she diversified her experience and expertise in different physiotherapy and rehabilitation fields, including neonatal care and geriatrics. Throughout her career she developed her own methodological approach and expertise in order to adapt her treatment plans to individual patients’ needs. 

Alice is now completing postgraduate studies in Osteopathy, through which she wants to place a strong emphasis on the holisticness and uniqueness of each human individual, not only from a musculoskeletal viewpoint but also from the visceral, craniosacral and emotional.

Who can be interested in this course?

This course is aimed at all medical and therapeutic professionals that want to understand how C.R.E.T. or Capacitive Resistive Energy Transfer therapy is an integral part of our GPS Pathways for Rehabilitation approach to treating common musculoskeletal injuries and disorders. GPS Pathways for Rehabilitation addresses injuries and disorders from a healthy posture viewpoint in order to gain more efficient and effective long-term results with patients.

Within this concept, C.R.E.T. is applied to stimulate cellular regeneration to limit inflammatory processes, modulate pain and discomfort and increase elasticity in soft tissues. Particularly in the acute phases of injury C.R.E.T. with the TCare device is invaluable to be able to restore early movement and gain healthy range of motion by reducing pain sensations and stimulating healing on a cellular level. Because of the TCare’s multiple working modalities and treatment settings options different tissues can be targeted. In subacute to chronic phases C.R.E.T. is preferably applied in combination with movement in order to gain more flexibility and elasticity in tight and shortened soft tissues. By doing so we can achieve healthy posture to stimulate further healing through healthy movement and optimise performance and prevent reinjury.
