INFRARED.

WHAT ARE INFRARED?

Infrared therapy is a physiotherapy technique that exploits the potential and biological effects produced in tissues by infrared rays.

WHAT ARE THEY FOR?

The infrared technique is used in physiotherapy for: Contractures; Muscle Pain; Cardiovascular Diseases; Back Pain; Fatigue.

HOW THEY WORK

Infrared rays are nothing more than electromagnetic waves, low-frequency rays that produce and emit heat. This heat is absorbed by the superficial layers of the skin.

The application, using a special lamp positioned 50-60 cm from the area to be treated, is carried out for approximately 20-30 minutes.

THE EFFECTS

Although the greatest benefits are guaranteed by the production of heat, the main effects generated by the use of this technique can be mainly divided into:
• organic, i.e. relating to the thermal effect obtained thanks to the production of heat;
• therapeutic: the increase in temperature facilitates muscle relaxation on the one hand, and the analgesic effect on the other, through the reduction and removal of algogenic substances from the pathological tissues.
Blood circulation also benefits, promoting the trophic effect.

WHEN ARE THEY CONTRAINDICATED?

There are no contraindications. Caution is advised in patients with heart disease or dermatitis, fever, or the presence of metallic synthetic materials.

Andrea Sgambati

CEO of FisioFlaminio, manual therapist specializing in osteopathic techniques.

Since my early years at university, the cornerstone of my career has been to develop a comprehensive assessment of the patient, essential for optimal physiotherapy treatment.

Through in-depth study of manual therapy, it was possible to optimize and apply the principles of rehabilitation medicine, which extends beyond the basic mechanisms of "traditional" rehabilitation. My training began at a Swiss university (Lugano, 2010-2014) with a four-year academic program, all focused on orthopedic science, which is essential for understanding musculoskeletal pathologies.

Subsequently, in 2015, I obtained a master's degree in Australia (Perth, Curtin University) in Orthopaedic Manual Therapy, which allowed me to learn osteopathic techniques and spinal manipulations according to the concepts of Maitland, Kaltenborn, Mulligan and Mackenzie.

After my experience abroad, I returned to Italy as manager of the rehabilitation center at Via Donatello 75, becoming a partner in 2019. My work at this rehabilitation center allowed me to work with athletes from the National Fencing Team, as well as with Serie A volleyball and basketball professionals.

From 2020 to 2023, I completed my second Master's degree in Milan (GSTM), where I further developed osteopathic and manual techniques, essential for the rapid and effective treatment of musculoskeletal disorders, including the peripheral and central nervous systems. This program has qualified me for the internationally recognized title of Orthokinetic Rehabilitator, a new professional profile in the treatment and rehabilitation of patients with musculoskeletal disorders.
