What is mechanotherapy?
Mechanical therapy is a type of medical treatment in which treatment is performed manually or mechanically. In 1890 it was defined as “the use of mechanical means for the treatment of disease.” Mechanical therapy uses mechanical transfer to stimulate tissue repair and regeneration. In short, it is the treatment of disorders or injuries using mechanical devices, especially devices that force body parts to exercise.
Why do we need mechanotherapy devices?
Because one of the most important parts of treatment in physiotherapy is the use of appropriate therapeutic exercises. Therefore, the use of sports equipment has always been a concern of Mahan Physiotherapy Clinic, so that we can create quality and long-lasting treatment for patients while taking advantage of the benefits of prescribed sports based on the special conditions of each patient. These devices are mainly used to treat joint or muscle diseases by mechanically reproducing various movements.
Some of these mechanotherapy equipment are:
- Jimbo wing or Swiss wing cabin
- Shoulder wheel or shoulder wheel
- Sanli Quader
- Stationary bicycle
- Universal monetary system
- Sports movement system with Traband and Tratube and gel expanders
- Fapps device
- Therapeutic suspension system and form

- Back leg stretching boards that include “ankle leg machine for ankle exercises” and “various inflatable wings and balances”
With the advancement of technology, other advanced devices are introduced to the community of physiotherapists every day, which have a mechanism similar to the above, and their explanation is beyond the scope of this article. In Mahan Physiotherapy Clinic, you can use the mechanotherapy equipment of this collection if diagnosed by the doctor and improve your pain treatment process.
