Myofascial pain syndrome of the head and neck muscles
Many different muscle cords on the head enable dogs to sniff, bark, chew, open or close their eyes and prick up their ears. These muscle cords are also known as “movers” or “agonists”. They are located in the extension of the neck muscles. Dogs use these movers to define their entire facial expression. If tension occurs in one or more of these movers, it can affect the dog’s whole body. In the case of illness or after a long journey in a pet carrier, these muscles need special attention.
Behandlung mit dem NOVAFON
Neben dem Gelenk selbst spielen vor allem die zugehörige Muskulatur und die Triggerpunkte eine Rolle. Mit dem NOVAFON kann aber die gesamte Kaumuskulatur unterstützend behandelt werden, um die muskuläre Dysbalance auszugleichen und die Bewegungseinschränkungen zu reduzieren.
Treatment with NOVAFON
With the NOVAFON, the entire head, neck and throat area can be treated supportively During treatment, it is not only the muscles themselves that play a role, but above all the fasciae (muscle-tendon attachments) and trigger points associated with them. Treatment with the NOVAFON should last a total of 10 – 15 minutes and can be repeated daily. The intensity setting should be individually adapted to the tolerance of each dog, as every dog perceives the vibration very differently. Always treat both sides.

Step 1 — Stroking the large muscle groups
In the first step, set the device to vibration level 2 and use the disc attachment on the marked area. You can work in either a stroking or continuous circular motion. The direction of treatment plays a subordinate role – pay more attention to whether the dog is relaxed and is allowing its muscles to relax. Depending on the condition of the coat, it is recommended that you work in the direction of the coat growth. Treat each side for 2 to 3 minutes
Step 2 — Treatment of sore areas
Use the ball attachment to work directly on the trigger points. It is best to feel for the trigger points with your fingertips at the marked areas. To treat these areas, connect the ball attachment, select Level 2, and adjust the intensity accordingly. Treat the trigger points for about 1 to 2 minutes each, either by applying light pressure without moving or in small circular movements. Always treat both sides. Then treat the incorrectly loaded muscle groups with level 1 in order to strengthen and activate them.
In der Anwendung einfach und angenehm. Ich habe bisher die besonders beanspruchte Kiefermuskulatur behandelt (Zähne-Knirsch-Problematik). Sehr angenehm und entspannend! (...) Ich nutze es regelmäßig und gern! 1, 2 Anwenderin S., 15.02.2017, NOVAFON power
