Medically certified sound wave vibration therapy for the treatment
of patients in pediatrics Increasing numbers of therapists are using novafon in pediatric therapy to regulate muscle tone, facilitate movement, and gently expand mobility. Studies show that targeted local vibration therapy can reduce muscular tension and promote body awareness.¹ Especially in cases of neurological or developmental impairments, novafon supports children and adolescents as a gentle, everyday therapeutic method to promote and relearn motor-functional abilities and participation.
Medically certified shockwave therapy for the treatment of patients in pediatrics
An increasing number of therapists use novafon in pediatric therapy to regulate muscle tone, facilitate movement, and gently expand mobility. Studies show that targeted local vibration therapy can reduce muscular tension and promote body awareness. Especially in cases of neurological or developmental impairments, novafon supports children and adolescents as a gentle, everyday therapeutic method to promote and relearn motor-functional abilities and participation.
Local vibration therapy
in pediatrics
The sound wave vibration device for gentle and effective support in pediatric treatment.
Many children with orthopedic conditions such as scoliosis, as well as neurological disorders such as cerebral palsy or other developmental disorders, suffer from muscle tension, restricted mobility, and the associated challenges in everyday life.
These symptoms, for example spastic paresis, can affect not only mobility but also social participation and the child’s overall development. Early, holistic intervention is crucial. The goal is to promote mobility, relieve pain, and support everyday functional skills.
This is where novafon comes in: gentle, deep-acting sound wave vibration therapy reduces increased muscle tension², supports active therapy in pediatrics, and contributes to improved body awareness³. In this way, children can improve their motor-functional abilities and gain a higher quality of life in everyday life.
Easily integrated into child-centered modern therapy concepts
novafon meaningfully complements established pediatric treatment approaches. The sound wave vibration have a relaxing effect on the musculature, promote mobility, and can⁴ be integrated into children’s everyday therapy routines without additional strain.
Improvement of ADLs
Local vibration therapy relieves muscle tension, improves body awareness, and provides greater freedom of movement in motor-functional neurological disorders. This enables children to move more freely and participate more easily in everyday activities.⁵
Support for therapy & use by parents
Whether in the clinic, at school, or at home: novafon can be used in a child-friendly way and supports therapists as well as caregivers and parents. As a gentle complement in pediatric rehabilitation, it helps to actively promote mobility and improve therapy outcomes.

Children with infantile cerebral palsy showed improvements in the imitation of movement patterns, body schema, hand–eye coordination, and muscle tone regulation after the use of local vibration therapy.⁶
"For years, novafon has been an important tool in our practice, especially in hand therapy for neurological conditions. We use it to support conventional therapy, for structured exercises in independent training, and as a supplement to device-based therapy and robotics."

Occupational therapy Köth
Lindenhof, 28.03.2022
"The arm and the hand were completely hypertonic and could not be opened despite heat treatment and targeted massage. Using the novafon, the arm was treated for approximately 10 minutes and, with the therapist’s support, brought into extension. […] After regular application, joint protection and mobilization could be continued, and a reduction in muscle tone was achieved."

“After a stroke two years ago, my right side has no sensation. My speech therapist recommended the novafon to me. I have only been using it for seven days now, three times a day for 10 minutes, and there has already been a noticeable improvement. I can highly recommend the novafon.”
Prof. Dr. med. Joachim Liepert
Ärztliche Leitung Neurorehabilitation der Kliniken Schmieder
“[…] The vibrations stimulate both proprioceptors and mechanoreceptors. The targeted use of the novafon device can, through stimulation of the various receptors and activation of afferent pathways, lead to a reduction of spasticity and significantly improve the patient’s perception of the affected body part.”

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the effectiveness of the treatment scientifically proven?
Yes. The first clinical studies investigating the pain-reducing effects of local vibration therapy date back to the 1980s. Since then, this form of sound wave therapy has become established as an effective, non-pharmacological treatment for acute and chronic musculoskeletal pain. By applying vibration directly to the painful area or to surrounding trigger points, a long-lasting pain-relieving effect has been demonstrated in some cases for a range of chronic pain conditions (including fibromyalgia, tendinitis, and phantom pain) (Staud, 2011; Lundeberg, 1984–1987).
- Is the treatment painful?
No. In general, treatment with novafon is very pleasant, and you can gradually increase the intensity. After switching on the device, you will hear a quiet humming sound. As soon as you place the device on the area to be treated, this humming becomes even quieter and you feel gentle yet effective vibrations on your skin. However, make sure not to treat for longer than 20 minutes at a time and give your body time to adapt to the vibrations.
