PiezoWave/ Myofascial Acoustic Compression Therapy (MyACT®)

MyACT® (Myofascial Acoustic Compression Therapy), also known as PiezoWave, is an FDA registered non-invasive pain relief technology which utilizes focused sound waves for the treatment of minor aches and pain.

MyACT® is widely used in the treatment of minor aches and soreness pain in muscles, tendons and joints. MyACT® uses acoustic waves to compress and manipulate targeted tissue, producing a precise, focused deep tissue massage. The results of the mechanical stimulus delivered by MyACT® can lead to increased range of motion, as well as pain relief, all key components of the healing process.

Basic Principle of Myofascial Acoustic Compression Therapy

A sound approach to treating aches and soreness pain. Myofascial Acoustic Compression Therapy (MyACT®) is widely used in the treatment of minor aches and pain. 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 pain relief – a key component in the healing process.

For Targeted, Non Invasive Pain Relief

Mechanical stimuli affect almost all cellular functions of living tissue such as growth, cell differentiation, cell migration, protein synthesis, physiological apoptosis and tissue necrosis. The acoustic waves generated by the PiezoWave2 converge at a point deep within the soft tissue to produce an intense, extremely short duration compression burst. The focused acoustic compression force is translated to the surrounding tissue like an extremely precise deep tissue massage. The precise targeting of tissue with Acoustic Compression provides healthcare professionals with a tool to positively influence cellular form and function, which can result in pain relief and improved range of motion.

MyACT® is not Ultrasound

Ultrasound units delivery thousands of pulses per second in order to vibrate soft tissue sufficient to produce a localized increase in soft tissue temperature. Unlike Ultrasound, the PiezoWave2 produces slow pulses that do not produce a thermal affect. In addition, the PiezoWave2’s slow sound pulses produce soft tissue compression and not soft tissue vibration.

MyACT® Delivers Mechanical Energy – Not Light, Electrical or Thermal Energy

  • MyACT® targets tissue at varying depths with compression soundwave
  • PiezoWave2 delivers the most energy at a depth that you need without being compromised by tissue absorption
  • MyACT® Treats minor aches and pain

PiezoWave2 and MyACT® – Benefiting You and Your Patients

Improving patient outcomes improves the growth of your patient base and your reputation as an informed provider of effective therapies. According to PiezoWave2 clinicians adoption of MyACT® has grown their patient base on an average of 25%.

Designs That Improve Your Daily Experience and Your Patient Outcomes

The PiezoWave2 has a simple user interface and foot switch 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 switch. The PiezoWave 2 MyACT® is designed with an iPad Holder offering you the possibility to attach your iPad to display patient information and treatment charts. You can also download and up-date our MyAct® Treatment Protocol App for your iPad, ensuring that you will continue to receive the latest information on settings and the newest recommendations for the PiezoWave2 MyAct® clinical applications.

Focused and Linear Therapy for Pin Pointed and Macro Treatments

The piezo-electric principle offers an extensive range of configurations. The only one of its kind in the world, the PiezoWave2 allows users to choose between a classic focused therapy source and a linear focused soundwave.

Focused Therapy Source

Linear Therapy Source

Unparalleled Treatment Control

  • Quick and easy control over energy delivery, treatment depth and treatment location MyACT® is focused deep in tissue to deliver the greatest amount of energy at the desired focal point
  • MyACT®’s focal point is adjustable to different depth levels in 5mm steps
  • MyACT® flares the patient’s familiar pain to confirm the area that requires treatment
  • Targeting MyACT® at varying depths to compress and manipulate tissue results in a focused and precise deep tissue massage
  • Myofascial Acoustic Compression Therapy’s influence as a pin-pointed delivery of mechanical stimulus can result in biochemical events that lead to pain relief – a key component in the healing process

Specifically Designed for Myofascial Treatments

Richard Wolf GmbH / Germany and ELvation has specifically designed piezo therapy sources that provide low energy / low pressure levels for myofascial and muscloskeletal massage treatment. Piezo-ceramic elements are geometrically arranged on a concave surface so that when they are excited simultaneously by a brief, high-voltage pulse, they expand by a few micrometers to generate a low energy pressure pulse. The piezo elements are precisely aligned so that each pressure pulse generated focuses in a specific area. This precise focusing of the pulse creates an acoustic compression event at the point of focus.

The PiezoWave2 MyACT® system provides you with the choice of two piezo therapy sources for this superficial treatment. The Focused Therapy Source for pin-point, focused treatments and the Linear Therapy Source for larger treatment areas.
