Muscle Chain Therapy with Radial ShockWave™ Treatment
What is Muscle Chain Dysfunction?
Muscle chains are interconnected muscle groups that work in coordinated patterns to perform functional movement—such as walking, lifting, or twisting. Dysfunction in a single muscle or joint can create compensatory stress across the entire chain, leading to:
- Chronic tightness
- Muscle imbalances
- Trigger points
- Reduced range of motion
- Pain in distant areas (e.g., lower back pain originating from glutes or hamstrings)
Common causes include sedentary lifestyle, poor posture, repetitive movement, sports injuries, or postural compensation.
How reGener8 treats it
The reGener8 ZS1019 leverages Radial ShockWave™ Therapy to disrupt dysfunctional muscle chains, release myofascial adhesions, and improve neuromuscular coordination.
Therapeutic Mechanisms:
- Radial acoustic waves penetrate 3–4 cm into superficial muscle layers
- Breaks up trigger points and fibrotic tissue along the chain
- Stimulates local circulation and oxygen delivery
- Enhances neuromuscular re-education and muscle activation
Clinical Use:
- Especially effective for posterior and lateral chains (glutes, hamstrings, erectors)
- Releases myofascial restrictions without invasive needling
- Supports prehabilitation and athletic performance programs
- Ideal for treating chronic tightness or overcompensation patterns
Device Features:
- Adjustable frequency and pressure (up to 6 Bar / 21 Hz)
- Ideal radial probes: 25 mm or 35 mm for large muscle regions
- Coupling gel ensures deep penetration and smooth gliding
This protocol is commonly used by physiotherapists, manual therapists, sports coaches, and functional movement specialists to rebalance the body’s kinetic chains.
Recommended treatment protocol
- Mode: Radial ShockWave™ Therapy
- Energy: 3–5 Bar (based on tolerance and muscle mass)
- Frequency: 10–15 Hz
- Shocks per muscle region: 1500–2500
- Sessions: 4–6
- Interval between sessions: 5–7 days
Focus on long muscle tracks—e.g., hamstring to calf, back to shoulder—using slow gliding passes across the chain. Combine with mobility and strengthening exercises post-session for best results.

For certified users
Use only in accordance with the reGener8 ZS1019 User Manual. Device settings must align with therapeutic guidelines and patient feedback. Adjust intensity for sensitivity and strictly observe contraindications. This ensures safe, effective, and individualized treatment.
