Massager Therapy
massage therapy question?

alright… so im going to school for massager therapy, anyhow.. so what is the difference between, registered and certified? like i know certified you have to have 60 college credits but working places wise whats the differnces?

i lost my page that had it on there, and i cant find it online!!!

thanks for the help!

Being registered or certified depends on what state you are in or maybe you are in a different country??

Certified usually just means you passed the school test and requirements. Anyone can give a certification.

If someone is registered there were probably some other education or experience requirements.

Any chiropractor here???

I just want to know wich Ultrasound Massager is better, 1 Mhz or 5 Mhz, for therapy. I’m confused because in a internet page I found that 1 Mhz works deeper than 3 Mhz, so in more Mhzs, is less deep???

Well, I’m not a chiropractor, but I can certainly answer this question.

It is true, the LOWER the frequency, the deeper the penetration. 1 Mhtz is the deepest you want to go for theraputic applications. This will generally reach up to 5 cm deep. It is good over tissues that are very bulky such as a thick muscle. It should not be used over a prominent area such as the point of the shoulder because there is not enough tissue to absorb the ultrasound and you can cause damage to the bone.

Higher frequencies are good for shallow areas…3 Mhtz reaches a maximum of 1 cm deep and is good for superficial tissues.

In general though…don’t waste your money because most of the ultrasound machines on the internet either don’t go deep enough or do not carry enough power to have theraputic purposes (most only offer a power of 0.5 W/cm2). This is because it should only be used by a trained professional.
