Physiological and Practical Basis of CRET Therapy Applied On the Basis of the Latest Scientific Evidence

Programme

Bases and Foundations of CRET Therapy

• Concept of CRET and fundamental principles.
• Resistive and capacitive (functioning and power differences).
• Physiological effects.
• Thermal and non-thermal effects (current flow, proliferation, and thermal effects).
• Applications (injuries, performance, aesthetics, post-effort recovery).

The Equipment: Features and Functions

• Basic features of the equipment.
• Types of electrode (sizes, differences, hypothermal, without cream, fixed...).
• What features should good equipment have?
• Physical Principles.
• Which parameters are used and what do they mean (V, Hz, A, W, impedance...)?
• Accessories (hooks, invasive, bandaging, creams).
• Indications and contraindications.

Pathologies and Protocols

• Physiological mechanism of musculoskeletal tissue regeneration and repair.
• Chronic and acute processes.
• Protocol for chronic and acute tendinopathy.
• Protocol for acute and chronic muscle rupture.
• Protocol for ligament rupture (ankle sprain), acute and chronic.
• Protocol for lumbar pain with irradiation.
• Protocol for performance.
• Protocol for post-effort recovery.
