Summary
• Subject reported an improvement in
range-of-motion (ROM)
• Subject reported a decrease in pain
level during hand movement
-Pain level decreased from a baseline
of 7 to 3 on a scale of 10
• Subject reported an improved tissue
flexibility and an ‘easing up’ of
contracture and constriction
Summary
• Subject noticed an overall improvement
• Subject was very satisfied with her
results
• Subject reported a dramatic softening
of her nodule
• Subject reported a dramatic softening
of her affected pretendinous fascia
• Subject reported an improvement in
skin color
Followup~6 Months
This subject did not receive any further
Cymatherapy® sessions for 6 months
• Range of motion was even better than
after last session received
• Nodule and pretendinous fascia
continued to improve
• Pain levels continued to improve even
with increased levels of activity and
weight bearing activities
Followup~6 Months
These changes indicated that her
condition did not deteriorate (Dupuytren’s
is progressively degenerative) despite a
very long gap in between Cymatherapy®
sessions.
These changes may be indicative of a
continuing regenerative process of the
tissue once harmonic frequency
rebalancing is established in the cells,
resulting in healthy cell renewal.
