About this treatment
Physical therapy at CPM Pavla Koláře is delivered using a fully equipped BTL device suite — BTL is among Europe's most established manufacturers of medical electrotherapy and mechanotherapy equipment, and the centre's investment in their full range reflects its position as a clinical rather than wellness facility.
Shock wave therapy is applied using radial or focused acoustic pulses to stimulate tissue repair in tendons, fasciae, and calcific deposits. It is commonly used for plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, lateral epicondylitis, calcific shoulder tendinitis, and patellar tendinopathy, where it may help break down calcification and stimulate local circulation and collagen remodelling. The 20W laser therapy system delivers photobiomodulation at a…
Ultrasound therapy is applied for tissue heating, chronic pain, and scar tissue softening. Tecar radiofrequency uses capacitive and resistive transfer to generate diathermic tissue heating for muscular and joint conditions. Magnetotherapy delivers pulsed electromagnetic fields to support bone healing and reduce inflammation. TENS and EMS are used for pain modulation and targeted muscle activation respectively. Vacuum compression and device lymphatic…
