Starting an invasive physiotherapy center is an exciting venture that can offer specialized treatments to those seeking relief from various musculoskeletal conditions. This branch of physiotherapy requires a specific set of equipment and tools to ensure safe and effective practice. Below, we will outline the essential equipment you should consider.
Appropriate Treatment Beds
The treatment bed is one of the most fundamental elements in any physiotherapy center. It should be sturdy, adjustable, and comfortable, with easy access for the physiotherapist to all parts of the patient’s body. For invasive physiotherapy, beds should also feature modular sections and arm supports, facilitating procedures like dry needling or percutaneous electrolysis.
Electrotherapy Equipment
Electrotherapy is a key technique; a good device will allow you to apply electrical currents of various frequencies and waveforms to treat different pathologies. You should look for equipment that offers a range of modalities such as TENS, EMS, ultrasound, and other nerve and muscle stimulation systems.
Dry Needling and Percutaneous Electrolysis Devices
Dry needling is a fundamental technique in invasive physiotherapy and requires sterile, single-use needles of various sizes. For percutaneous electrolysis, you will also need equipment that can apply a current through the needle to accelerate the healing process.
At Agupunt, we offer the APS e-4 system, one of the most advanced systems for invasive physiotherapy. Additionally, we also provide accessories such as an octopus-type cable with 8 outputs and handles.
Diagnostic Systems
Accurate assessment of patient conditions is essential in invasive physiotherapy. Investing in diagnostic systems such as ultrasound machines allows for real-time visualization of muscle structures and tissues, guiding interventions with greater precision.
Rehabilitation and Exercise Tools
In addition to invasive treatments, rehabilitation and muscle strengthening are crucial. Physiotherapy products such as resistance bands, weights, stability balls, and other exercise tools are necessary to support patient recovery.
Furniture and Organization
A well-organized environment promotes an efficient and professional practice. Adequate storage for tools, needle containers and/or destroyers, and other disposable materials, as well as furniture like desks and ergonomic chairs for staff, are fundamental for the day-to-day operations of the center.
Continuing Education and Training Resources
Finally, while not tangible equipment, ongoing training is essential. Consider investing in educational resources and specialized training for you and your team, ensuring everyone is up to date with the latest techniques and advancements in the field.
