ECP Therapy meets the needs of various people who are seeking to proactively manage and improve their health and wellness. By enhancing circulation, ECP treatments promote mental and physical wellbeing.
In clinical studies, ECP has been shown to relieve angina symptoms,4 such as chest pain and shortness of breath. Patients have experienced improvement in exercise duration as well.2 Studies have also shown that ECP may help:2, 3, 4, 7:
“Since I started ECP therapy, my sugar level, heart rate and blood pressure have lowered and the numbness in my fingers have subsided. I’m also an active person but I have even more energy now. I will continue taking ECP therapy for many years to come. It’s like having a second heart!”
Our heart and circulatory system are designed to transport oxygen and nutrients to every cell in the body, as well as filter out waste and carbon dioxide. Good blood flow is essential to good health, and has a positive effect on your mind and body.
Poor blood circulation greatly increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). This occurs when plaque builds up in the arteries. As plaque builds up, it blocks and reduces the amount of blood flowing through. When this restricts blood flow to the heart muscle, it can cause chest pain, also known as angina. Angina can make it difficult to enjoy one's favourite activities, or even perform simple daily tasks.
In severe cases, plaque can block entire blood vessels. When blockage happens in the vessels supplying blood to the heart muscle or brain, it can lead to a heart attack and a stroke respectively.
ECP Therapy is a safe and non-invasive process that increases blood circulation and is used for the treatment of chronic stable angina. It enhances blood flow by pushing blood from the lower body toward the heart.
Pressure cuffs are wrapped around your lower body while you lay comfortably. These cuffs inflate when your heart is at rest and deflate right before your heart pumps. Due to the precise synchronisation with your heartbeat, ECP therapy has been described as a ‘second heart’ that allows your heart to perform with less effort.
The therapy is soothing and relaxing, much like a lower body massage. Many people listen to music, watch TV or simply rest during a therapy session.
