Karagiannis Vasileios: Hilterapia® and Magnetotherapy, the perfect combo!

For over 20 years, he has adopted Hilterapia® as one of the leading Therapeutic Solutions at his physiotherapy centre, equipping it with all the devices that have marked ASA’s evolution. From the first Hiro 1.0 model in 2003 to HIRO TT, at the “Centre de Physiothérapie et du laser» (Strasbourg), Karagiannis Vasileios – physiotherapist – has focused on Hilterapia® with conviction and the results achieved over the years have confirmed the validity of his choice. 

Thanks to the effectiveness of the therapy and to the efficiency of the support provided by ASA – from sales to training – Karagiannis has also integrated the company’s Magnetotherapy into his centre.

The results? A significant improvement in managing his daily practice, satisfaction from the patients and positive validation from the rapid and safe treatment of multiple disorders. Starting from acute inflammations where Hilterapia® - says Vasileios - «has no rivals».

With respect to the experience gained in the field over all these years, in your opinion, what makes Hilterapia® so effective?  
I have been using Hilterapia® since 2003 and over all these years I have become aware that a series of factors, which combined maximise its effects, is what makes it a one-of-a-kind therapy. Thinking specifically of the HIRO TT device, I am referring to the wavelength, the power and the SmartCooler system. A combo that ensures excellent results even when treating very complex issues.

Can you give us an example where the results were particularly striking?
There have been many occasions when Hilterapia® has been effective over the years.
Among these, the case of a patient, a surgeon by profession, who suffered from rhizarthrosis in both thumbs comes to mind. Despite having treated the pathology with numerous injections, he was unable to obtain any results. However, this unresolved condition clearly had impactful repercussions on his ability to surgically operate, in addition to causing him a lot of pain. Already after the first session with HIRO TT, the patient reported a considerable feeling of relief and, after 8 treatments, the pain and discomfort were just a memory.

In light of this case too and having used HIRO TT to address many other problems, what is its strong point?
HIRO TT has several, but certainly the ability to produce immediate results in any condition is the most evident one.

Although it is effective in addressing various disorders, its use in treating those related to acute inflammation and chronic problems is unparalleled. I am thinking for example of tendonitis and muscle disorders: the results it offers are of the highest level, with important repercussions both on the well-being of the patient, satisfied at having been able to recover his/her best physical condition, and for the Centre. Being able to rely on such a rapid and effective therapy allows us to increase our reputation.

Would you like to recommend to your colleagues?
Absolutely yes! If you are looking for really quick and effective results and, at the same time, you want to enhance the quality of your work by giving positive feedback to your patients, Hilterapia® is the right answer. 

From Hilterapia® to Magnetoterapia Qs, it was a short step for his Center. What is its main use?
In principle, we rely on Qs Magnetotherapy to treat chronic and autoimmune conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, Parkinson's disease, sclerosis. The results are comforting and, above all, the patient suffering from potentially disabling problems feels very safe.

PMT Qs Magnetotherapy

In this respect, is the PMT Qs Auto device, with its automatic treatment bed, helpful?
Yes, definitely, and I will add: with PMT Qs Auto, the patient does not feel anything during the treatment and can remain dressed, maximising relaxation and tranquillity. An important feeling, which is ensured precisely by its automation and by a series of factors with which we accompany the session: soft music, warm lights, breathing exercises. However, this device also has other qualities. In terms of performance, for example, the automatic treatment allows us to combine other activities in the clinic. 

Let's go back to the benefits in terms of treatment...
One above all deserves to be highlighted: by allowing us to carry out total body treatments, this system is ideal for treating widespread chronic problems; avoiding a division of the sessions by target area allows us to obtain concrete results whilst scheduling fewer sessions.

A tangible outcome that is also the result of a further possibility offered by Magnetotherapy: the possible combination with laser therapy… 
This is another added value that should not be overlooked: the two Therapeutic Solutions work very well together and the results are significant. This is the reason we resort to both in succession in most cases.
