Torah Bright, who has used SCENAR since 2004 to treat injuries and enhance athletic performance, won the the Gold Medal in Snowboarding in the 2010 Olympics (go to the bottom of the SCENAR Health website home page). She says, “Scenar therapy benefits appear to be almost limitless for health and wellbeing.” Read more about her Olympic competition experience on the SCENAR Health Blog.

SCENAR is again involved in supporting Olympic athletes. First used by Russian athletes in the 2000 Olympics, more and more Olympic athletes around the world are using it to enhance their training, performance and recovery from injuries.
For more information about athletes who are using SCENAR visit the SCENAR Health website.
Used by the Russian athletes in the 2000 Olympics, SCENAR can effectively improve training and performance. During marathon competitions in the late 1990′s, SCENAR was used to not only treat injuries so that athletes could return to competition, but was also found to enhance rapid recovery from the exhaustion of long periods of high physical stress. When added as a regular training aid, SCENAR can increase physical recovery and regulation as well as protecting against muscle strains, overuse, and other injuries. This makes it possible for athletes to sustain a more intensive training, thereby increasing their performance parameters.
Athletes using SCENAR during training experienced shorter recovery times required after training, thereby making their training routines more efficient. The effect of the treatments revitalizes and restores the body’s healing capacity which improves its ability to accommodate training stress. Using SCENAR right after training sessions promotes faster recovery and improves endurance.
Perhaps the most well known effect among athletes is the SCENAR’s ability to accelerate the healing of acute injuries. If SCENAR treatment is begun within moments of an injury, it can significantly minimize the swelling, bruising, and pain that would normally occur, allowing a return to training or competition in a minimal amount of time. Because of the instrument’s compact size, it can be carried along with the athlete to competitions or during training routines. The SCENAR has also been documented to be useful in resolving chronic or repeated injuries by reducing pain and improving strength in an injured joint or muscle. It is used extensively in rehabilitation practices with athletes in Russia, Europe, and Australia.

Since September 3, I’ve been visiting my son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren in New Jersey. On my first night there, not being used to climbing over baby gates (my granddaughter is 14 months old), I caught my left braced foot on the top of the gate I was attempting to get over, and down that gate and I went. I landed on my right knee (my good one) with my full weight and momentum. Falls at my age with Post Polio Syndrome are scary. All kinds of less than wonderful scenarios passed through my mind about what kind of effect the fall might have on my visit, as I went down. I hobbled over to the couch to assess the damage. I had nearly drawn blood from the carpet burn, but not quite. The area was dark red, and beginning to swell. I reached for the SCENAR and began treating the knee with the protocols for acute injury. After 20 minutes the pain was gone. I put ice on it for another 15 minutes, and when I stood up after that, it felt ok. The next morning, I hadn’t even thought about my knee, with all the excitement of an awakening family, until my son asked me about it. I looked at it. No redness, no swelling, no bruising, and the abrasion looked like a patch of dry skin. I’ve not had any further issues with it at all.
It is always fun when a client comes in to Healing Innovations with pain that is the result of a recent injury. The results, although not as dramatic as if treatment could have been given moments after the injury, are generally dramatic and exciting. The SCENAR is good to use post surgery for the same reason, and those we’ve worked on have recovered faster and with less pain than anticipated.
We have also worked with athletes in training and they found that their training progressed with much less discomfort and with increased stamina and energy.
In Russia the SCENAR is called the “ambulance in a box.” Its applications with acute injury deserve that description.
If you are an athlete in training or if you have had a recent acute injury or surgery, call Healing Innovations for a 30% discount on a treatment. Just mention that you read about it on the blog to get the discount.
Call us at 828-337-6854 and we will schedule an appointment for you.
