Area of use – Using the example of football national league:

1. Hyperreaction of lymph nodes

Lymph nodes are acutely swollen due to hyperreaction to waste products (painful in the groin), problem occurs very frequently amongst competitive sportsmen; the swelling remains for a long time, in the worst cases training has to be suspended.

Therapy:
Treatment with the Vacusport before and after training for 30 to 60 minutes. During the treatment the sportsman notices how the lymph nodes in the stomach are mechanically stimulated, there is a marked feeling of relief. The treatment is perceived as very pleasant and positive. During the treatment the sportsman is free of pain.

2. Pulled muscle

The diagnosis was made with MRI. Directly after the injury oedemas and fluid retention were clearly visible in the tissue

• Therapy:
  

Treatment with the Vacusport for 30 minutes twice a day. After only two days a second MRI was carried out. A noticeably faster reduction of fluid retention and oedemas could be determined.

• Result:
  

With a pulled muscle a sportsman is usually out of action for 2-3 weeks. In this case he was able to take up training again after 5-6 days.

3. Calf contusion

The calf was injured in the same place twice consecutively so that on the second impact the bruise caused internal bleeding in the tissue.

• Therapy:
  

With this kind of injury the sportsman must start the therapy directly with gentle running or exercises, ointments are also used. The Vacusport was used to back up the treatment. It could be observed that the sportsman’s injury healed up much faster.

• Result:
  

After such a muscle contusion it usually takes 72 hours or more until a sportsman can start training regularly again. With the Vacusport therapy the sportsman could do light training after only 36 hours and after 2 days (i.e. 4 sessions) take up full training again.

4. Back problems of the lumbar vertebrae

Back pains are the most common complaint in the field of competitive sports. Usually the area of the lower lumbar vertebrae is affected. Very many, also younger sportsmen complain of this problem. It can lead to more serious disorders such as disc protuberance, prolapse or curvature of the spine. The pains are constant. The problems can arise either gradually and insidiously or after a sudden, abrupt movement.

Therapy:
1 session of at least 30 minutes daily. Using the Vacusport is ideal for relieving the spine in the lumbar area and easing pain. The sportsman can even determine the amount of traction himself by counteracting the suction effect with his arms. It is recommended to bend the legs slightly in the negative pressure tube and adjust the back rest to the correct position so that no hollow back occurs.

5. Burst bursa on the elbow

The sports doctor diagnosed a burst bursa on the elbow. This kind of injury normally involves an operation.

• Therapy:
  

The sportsman sat next to the machine with his arm in the tube up to the armpit.

• Result:
  

After several treatment sessions with the Vacusport the sportsman needed no operation.
