Disease and Its Symptoms
In this section I discuss the contraindications for the use of ultrasound, that is, when you should not use it. Click here to SUBSCRIBE to be notified about my next video
From my introductory video you can find out who I am and what goals drive me when creating the vlog and the blog.
If you feel that "something’s coming" – a scratchy throat, runny nose, sneezing – you know you’ve been hit by a cold again. Adults get it on average 2–4 times a year, children even 6–10 times. The common cold (the common cold) is the most frequent infectious disease worldwide – about 17 billion cases occur globally each year. The bad news: there is no medicine that cures it. The viruses that cause the common cold cannot be treated with antibiotics. The good news is that there is a simple, inexpensive and scientifically supported method that can help shorten the illness and relieve symptoms: salt therapy, especially nasal irrigation and gargling with hypertonic saline. In this guide I will show what the latest research says and how you can use it at home.
The frequency of the ultrasound wave primarily determines how deeply it can penetrate the tissues and thus what kind of effect it can produce. I discuss this in this section. Click here to SUBSCRIBE to be notified about my next video
Acute and chronic conditions require ultrasound beams of different strengths (intensities). A recent condition, one a few weeks old, and one that has been present for several months must be treated differently. You can learn more from my video.

The ultrasound beam can be continuous or pulsed (intermittent). Continuous beams deliver "a lot" of energy, which is excellent for chronic complaints, while fresh injuries are very sensitive to high energy, so in such cases pulsed (with short pauses) ultrasound is appropriate. Details in the film.
Ultrasound treatment doesn't require much time. You can learn the simple rules for determining the treatment time from this video. Click here to SUBSCRIBE to be notified about my next video
From spring to autumn, millions of weeds bloom along ditches, agricultural fields and neglected gardens and begin releasing their pollen. Many people react sensitively when they come into contact with these. This is hay fever, also known as allergic rhinitis. Many different pollens can trigger it, such as hazel, poplar, ragweed or wild hemp. Its symptoms include nasal congestion, itchy eyes and endless sneezing.
Plantar fascia inflammation (or medically fasciitis plantaris) is one of the most common causes of sole and heel pain. Beneath the skin of your sole runs a thick connective tissue sheet (formerly called fascia) from the toes to the heel bone. Its inflammation mainly occurs where it meets the bone, that is, at the heel bone or in front at the bases of the toes. The first symptom is a stabbing pain during the first steps in the morning. After a few steps it "warms up", but over time the pain lasts for increasingly long periods. It is very hard to "get rid" of. It can be treated at home, but be prepared for weeks — and more often months — of regular treatment to achieve full resolution.
In the series about professionals, I now introduce physiotherapy specialist, personal trainer and spinal expert Angi Nimród, who after a severe car accident — having been declared disabled — worked on her own rehabilitation for five years. That experience inspired her to help others as well. She has earned respect in the profession and is a member of the board of the Massage Therapists Association. She mainly treats spinal patients, but because of her reputation athletes also line up with various complaints.
Summer is here! We get into a car, bus, train or plane and visit resorts and sights. Prolonged sitting during travel can be dangerous and favors the development of thrombosis.
