Novafon Therapy
Local vibration therapy for the treatment of myofascial pain, trigger points, and muscle tension. With the Novafon® – a certified medical device – I specifically complement my occupational therapy treatment in your own home.
What Is Novafon Therapy?
The Novafon® is a handy sound wave device that has been used in therapy and care for decades. It generates gentle, local vibrations that specifically act on muscles, connective tissue, and nerve pathways – deeply effective yet pleasant to use.
- Certified medical device, made in Germany
- Local vibration therapy with sound waves (50 or 100 Hz)
- Gentle, easily adjustable application directly on the skin
- A sensible complement to occupational therapy treatment
How Does Local Vibration Therapy Work?
The sound waves of the Novafon® reach deeper tissue layers. According to the gate control principle, vibration stimuli can influence the transmission of pain signals: the gentle oscillations override pain perception and can thus contribute to muscle relaxation.
- Targeted stimulation of muscles, connective tissue, and nerves
- Vibration stimuli can dampen pain perception (gate control principle)
- Can contribute to the relaxation of tense muscles
- Gentle, non-invasive, and medication-free application
Areas of Application
Myofascial Pain & Trigger Points
- Professional trigger point treatment
- Used for myofascial pain syndromes
- Treatment of muscle tension, e.g. in the neck and shoulder area
- Complement to motor-functional treatments
Neurological & Geriatric Rehabilitation
- Support for muscle tone regulation, e.g. for spasticity after stroke
- Sensory stimulation for impaired sensation
- Promotion of body awareness
- Gentle application – also well suited for older patients
Treatment Process in Your Own Home
Novafon therapy – like all my services – takes place as a home visit. It is usually part of an occupational therapy treatment and is individually tailored to your complaints.
- Thorough assessment and clarification of possible contraindications
- Individual treatment planning using the SMART concept
- Targeted application of the Novafon® to the affected body regions
- Combination with proven occupational therapy methods
Self-Application Training
A particular advantage of Novafon therapy: after appropriate instruction, you can also use the device yourself. In my self-application training, I show you and your relatives how to use the Novafon® safely and correctly at home.
- Guidance for safe self-application between therapy sessions
- Instruction for relatives and caregivers
- Tips on attachments, intensity, and duration of application
- Advice on when an application is not suitable
Qualification & My Approach
For Novafon therapy, I have completed certified training: "The Novafon as an Evidence-Based Alternative in the Treatment of Myofascial Pain Syndromes" (mediABC, 2026). There I learned the professional use of the device in trigger point treatment as well as training patients in self-application.
Novafon therapy is not an isolated offer – it fits into my overall occupational therapy concept. Using the SMART concept, we develop realistic goals together, and I use vibration therapy where it can meaningfully support your treatment.
Treatment takes place in your own home. This allows me to integrate the application directly into your daily life and show you self-application in your familiar environment.
