• The basic technology for Modellata is based on orthostatic oscillation mechanisms (vibrating platform), which increase blood circulation in a systemic manner. The Modellata equipment consists of a non-invasive therapeutic oscillatory vibration force, and its mechanical effect combines vertical and parallel forces on adjacent tissues and structures without causing damage. This effect, in turn, alters vascular physiology, stimulating increased skin oxygenation, improving cellular nutrition and skin tone, as well as helping to eliminate metabolic byproducts, reducing the appearance of cellulite and distributing subcutaneous adipose tissue, and improving blood and lymph flow.

• Modellata increases the permeability of active ingredients in the skin, optimizes metabolic exchanges, induces peripheral and localized hyperemia (which increases the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the tissues), has a decongestant and fibrinolytic action, and also provides temporary pain relief by stimulating the skin’s mechanoreceptors, based on the mechanism of the “Pain Gate Theory” by Melzack and Walsh (1965), and the release of endorphins.

  In the muscles, it acts by facilitating the removal of post-exercise lactate, minimizing delayed muscle pain, in addition to encouraging relaxation and toning the muscles. With Modellata, these effects are enhanced by magnetic therapy, since the “Four Points” tips and the “Central Point” tip have static magnets. Magnetic therapy is an alternative medical practice that also provides an increase in blood circulation, favoring the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the tissue through its magnetization effect, piezoelectric effect and metabolic effect.

Vibration is a physical phenomenon in which the oscillatory movement of a point around a reference point occurs. The intensity of this movement varies according to its frequency measured in Hertz (Hz), which is represented in cycles per second (cps).

Vibration is present in various occupational environments, in the daily lives of the population and even in the functioning of the human body. The exposure of the human body to external vibrations has been extensively investigated for its harmful effects; however, the understanding that vibratory stimuli can be beneficial to the human body began to be considered over the years.

The first applications of vibro-oscillatory therapy appeared in 1968, when Hagbarth and Eklund used oscillatory vibration at a high frequency of 150Hz in patients with spasticity, rigidity and cerebellar disorders. The conclusion was that the therapy caused a simultaneous relaxation of the antagonist muscles evaluated.

Ortolan et al. (2005) applied vibration-oscillatory therapy at 100Hz for 15 minutes to the triceps brachii muscle in eight adults with stroke sequelae and found that vibration-oscillatory therapy was beneficial, as the patients showed improvement in range of motion (ROM), characterizing a decrease in the degree of spasticity and improvement in motor control.

Umprhred et al. (2004) evaluated the effects of vibration oscillatory therapy in patients with Parkinson’s disease and confirmed that, with relatively low frequencies of 75Hz, there is already significant muscle relaxation.

In 1970, in the former Soviet Union, researchers developed the vibration platform with the aim of increasing the bone mineral density of astronauts, as several studies demonstrate that vibration stimulates bone formation and promotes significant gains in muscle strength due to greater neuromotor activity and greater recruitment of muscle fibers. Vegar and Imtiyaz (2014) evaluated the use of a vibrating platform in individuals with delayed onset muscle soreness after physical exercise and found that there was an improvement in pain and muscle recovery.

Dornela and Duarte (2010) reviewed studies on the effect of mechanical vibrations on peripheral blood circulation and concluded that vibration, both local and systemic, causes an increase in blood flow.

Maloney-Hinds et al. (2008) compared the effects of different frequencies: 30Hz and 50Hz, alone or in the same session, in relation to treatment and recovery time. They concluded that, after five minutes of treatment, there was a peak increase in blood flow and that both 30Hz and 50Hz of vibration produce significant increases in blood flow. Among the physiological effects directly related to vibration-oscillatory therapy are: symptomatic relief of muscle pain and improvement in local blood flow.

Guidelines on the technique

• For tissue stimulation, the therapy should be vigorous with broad movements;
• Apply the technique throughout the region until uniform hyperemia is achieved;
• As soon as the skin below the applicator becomes hyperemic (reddened), change direction and apply parallel to the area being treated;
• Persistence on the same area after hyperemia may cause petechiae and bruising;
• Keep the applicators attached to the skin to avoid loss of contact;
• For relaxation techniques, use slow movements and low cycles;
• The technique should be initiated with the frequency according to the patient’s tolerance level.

Prepare the patient for therapy

• Examine the skin and clean the treatment area;
• Clean the application accessories before and after each therapy session;
• Use cream or vegetable oil to glide the tips;
• For static application, the use of cream or vegetable oil is optional;
• After the procedure, it is common for the patient to present hyperemia (in some cases, slight edema) and hypersensitivity.
