ANDUMEDIC® 3

Pain relief. Performance and recuperation. Looking and feeling great.

Whether you’re seeking pain relief, or striving to feel healthy or look good, we all have different needs when we make the decision to take care of our wellbeing.

The ANDUMEDIC® 3 has been conceived and engineered with the specific requirements of different groups of individuals in mind.

1. For those preoccupied by mobility and pain relief

A number of conditions such as chronic neck and back pain, osteoporosis, arthritis and fibromyalgia have a direct impact on the body’s mobility. If you suffer from any of these complaints, seeking pain relief quickly is a daily preoccupation. You strive to increase your daily mobility and to lead as normal a life as possible.

The ANDUMEDIC® 3 can help you to:

  • Reduce chronic pain caused by intense back and neck strain, fibromyalgia, arthritis, hernia and other lasting conditions (Oberbillig et al. 2007, Bucka & Reich 2008, DGA 2009, DGA 2012)
  • Increase your movement range and improve your general mobility (Stutz & Gebel 2004, Klein, 2005)
  • Reduce muscle tension (Stutz/Gebel 2003, Ehlen S. 2014)
  • Limit pain through preventive use

The ANDUMEDIC® 3 applies two Andullation® principles in helping to reduce pain:

The Gate-Control Principle

Short-term pain relief is obtained through an understanding of the Gate-Control Principle, whereby the spinal cord effectively blocks pain impulses by giving priority to the passage of pleasant stimuli brought about via Andullation® (Melzack R., Wall P. D., 1965, Albrecht PJ. et al., 2013).

Liberation of endorphins

Because the amplitudes and frequencies of the vibrations given off during Andullation® change every five seconds, the body doesn’t get acclimatised to them. This causes the liberation of endorphins – the body’s own morphine hormones – providing long-term pain relief in a safe and totally natural way that’s even more effective than the Gate-Control mechanism.

2. For those looking to boost their performance in sport and intense physical activity

For those actively engaged in sport, there’s always an urge to enhance performance in a variety of different ways. Whether you’re looking for increased stamina or concentration, higher levels of endurance, or simply for quicker and more effective recuperation the ANDUMEDIC® 3 can help you to:

  • Improve your warm-up procedure before exercising or carrying out intense physical activity
  • Enhance your performance in the field and improve your endurance
  • Accelerate your recuperation

“I use Andullation® after every game. I couldn’t do without it because it helps me recover faster.“ David Ferrer (Tennis Pro)

Three important characteristics of the ANDUMEDIC® 3 help to make this happen:

The provision of renewed energy to your cells*

The mechanical vibrations experienced during Andullation®sessions create electrical micro-currents. The currents stimulate ATP production (Adenosine Triphosphate) and ensure an increase in the amount of energy in cells. This biological energy improves cell metabolism, supports the natural physical functions and makes sure the regeneration processes are stimulated over longer periods of time. Consequently,
Andullation® shortens the necessary warm-up phase and ensures a higher level of stamina and performance from the very start of an activity. This reduces the risk of sprains and muscle injury.
(*Lievens et al. 2015)

The improvement of blood circulation and lymph flow*

The Andullation® vibrations are combined with infrared light which penetrates deep into the body, producing a pleasant, concentrated warmth that helps blood vessels to dilate. This increases blood circulation and stimulates the supply of nutrients to all cellular tissues, improving the lymphatic flow, enhancing the elimination of waste products from our body and reducing lactic acid build-up in muscles.
(*Pastouret et al. 2013)

Reduced muscle tension* and increased recuperation processes**

The pleasant vibrations of Andullation® generate an impulse to our sensory nerves that immediately brings about a relieving and de-stressing effect. By easing pressure on all muscles - and particularly the heart muscle, we feel more relaxed and recuperate more easily.
(*Ehlen et al. 2014)

3. For those looking to reduce water retention and control their body weight

Being healthy can also mean looking healthy. To enjoy a lean figure, a firm body or to diminish cellulite, the objective is a reduction of water retention. But with our busy lifestyles and the pressures of modern life, these goals are not always easy to achieve.

The ANDUMEDIC® 3 can help you to:

  • Reduce peripheral water retention and its undesirable swelling in the legs, ankles, hands, feet and abdomen
  • Control body weight by helping you lose water
  • Avoid the ‘yoyo effect’ when you stop dieting or follow your diet less strictly
  • Decrease cellulite
  • Reduce the signs of ageing

The ANDUMEDIC® 3 is at the forefront of non-invasive therapy technology, and can help improve your daily wellbeing by:

Reducing water retention

The whole body vibrations delivered during Andullation® significantly stimulate the lymphatic system by enhancing the lymph flow* and facilitating the resorption of waste products. The benefits of the ANDUMEDIC® 3 can be compared to a low-pressure massage, which helps the body's lymphatic system to discharge excess fluids in a healthy way without drugs such as diuretics.
(Pastouret et al. 2013; **Stutz R., Gebel R. 2003)

Controlling body weight

Andullation® gives a boost to the body’s metabolism via two separate mechanisms. Firstly, it stimulates blood circulation (Principle 3 www.hhp-international.com/andullation/wirkprinzipien), which provides increased nutrients to the body’s different tissues, thus increasing vitality.
Secondly, the stimulation of the lymph flow (Principle 5) ensures a better resorption of waste products, which in turn improves weight reduction. And because regular Andullation® sessions stimulate additional carbohydrates burning once you stop dieting, there’s no risk of regaining previously lost kilos.
(Lievens et al. 2015, Pastouret et al. 2013)

Tackling cellulite and reducing the signs of ageing

The combined effect of mechanical vibrations and infrared light on the skin improves and stimulates collagen production. As such, Andullation® can help reduce lines and wrinkles and make skin look firmer and smoother.
(Cheng N., Van Hoof H., Bockx E. et al. 1982; Fukada E., Yasuda I. 1964; Minary-Jolandan M, Yu MF 2009)

Andullation® increases the energy production in the cell (Principle 1) and stimulates collagen production* (Principle 5). By improving the blood supply to muscles** (Principle 3), metabolism improves, leading to an increased supply of nutrients as well as an evacuation of the metabolic waste products. This favours cell regeneration of the skin. Tensions are also relieved*** (Principle 4) allowing muscles to relax and wrinkles to subside. Compared to a Botox treatment which literally ‘paralyses’ the skin, Andullation® is a totally natural process that relaxes the skin from the inside.
