What is SCENAR therapy?

What Is SCENAR Therapy?


"As a full-time nurse in the Aged care facility and a mum to a toddler, I cannot afford to have a stiff and painful neck. The problems with my neck started a few years ago. I have tried heat packs, TENS machine, massages and usual physiotherapy – all of the therapies would provide only some relief and just for a short time. The worst happened after the birth of my son two years ago: I have returned from the hospital with the stiff neck, unable to move or lay down, with constant pain accelerated on movement. Exhausted and without sleep (I could only manage by sitting on the couch trying not to move) I have tried all the usual therapies for four days with no success, when my mum suggested to visit Margarita. I was crying from the pain all the way to her clinic feeling every bump on the road. I could not believe that after a 30 minute session of SCENAR therapy I felt better – the pain did not go away completely but the tension was almost gone and the pain level decreased significantly. 3 sessions later I felt like a new person.

She also treated successfully skin problems that I had. I haven’t heard about any other physiotherapists that use same technology as she. I keep recommending Margarita to anybody who needs quick and effective treatment" - Anna Sheran


About 1 year ago A Current Affair did a feature on SCENAR therapy which some of you might have seen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQ-dGCQvXxM This unique device was developed in Russia initially for the rehabilitation of astronauts coming back from space.

 

So what is the SCENAR?

In a nutshell, the SCENAR helps your body to heal itself through locating problem areas and subsequently reactivating the body's self-regulatory mechanism which was destroyed by an accident or disease.
  • It's a small hand-held device
  • The treatment is completely pain-free and safe
  • Effects are felt after a maximum of three sessions
  • No negative side effects
  • Very few contraindications

Which conditions can SCENAR therapy help with?

The range of conditions for which SCENAR therapy can be effectively used is very broad - below are just a few examples:
  • back, neck and joint pain
  • osteoarthritis
  • irritable bowel syndrome, functional dyspepsia, gastritis, lazy gut
  • asthma, bronchitis
  • dermatitis
  • oral pathologies such as gingivitis, parodontitis
