TISSUE HEALING
Tissue healing refers to the body's replacement of destroyed tissue by living tissue and comprises two essential components - Regeneration and Repair.
Regeneration - occurs when injured specialised tissue is replaced by the proliferation of surrounding undamaged specialised cells and restore the integrity of the damaged tissue to normal function.
Repair - ls defined when injured tissue is replaced by granulation tissue which matures to form either scar tissue or adhesions and this leads to restricted movement with associated pain and a decrease of the normal elasticity and strength of healthy tissue
BioActiv Therapy is unique because it promotes regeneration and minimises scar tissue, thus allowing a return to normal strength, flexibility and range of motion, thereby reducing the risk of re-injury.

Normal Healing mechanism is a staged process.
Bleeding Phase This is a relatively short-lived phase and occurs following injury or trauma. The more vascular tissues (e.g. muscle) will bleed for longer and there will be a greater escape of blood into the tissues. Other tissues (e.g. ligament) will bleed less (both in terms of duration and volume). Inflammatory Phase: The inflammatory phase is an essential component of the tissue repair process and is best regarded in this way rather than as an 'inappropriate reaction' to injury. The onset and resolution are swifter in more vascular tissues and slower in the relatively poorly vascularised tissues. |

Proliferation Phase:
The proliferative phase essentially involves the generation of the repair material, which for the majority of musculoskeletal injuries, involves the production of scar (collagen) material.
Remodelling Phase:
The remodelling phase is an often-overlooked phase of repair in terms of its importance, especially in the context of therapy and rehabilitation. It is neither swift nor highly reactive, but does result in an organised, quality and functional scar which is capable of behaving in a similar way to the parent tissue (that which it is repairing).
The final outcome of these combines events is that the damaged tissue will be repaired with a scar which is not a ‘like for like’ replacement of the original, but does provide a functional, long term ‘mend’ which is capable of enabling quality recovery from injury.

BioActiv Therapy accelerates the regenerative part of the healing mechanism at a cellular level :
Increasing Energy Production
in cells by stimulating the ATP (cellular energy) production necessary to accelerate physiological regeneration processes of cellular tissues.
Increasing Cellular Metabolism
by activating the physiological processes for repairing damaged cells together with a gradual and physiological increase in temperature which encourages blood flow and tissue oxygenation to the underlying tissues. Direct stimulation of specific Anti-Pain pathways” such as TRP Transient Receptor Potential channels which control the pain, heat and tissue inflammatory pathways. Increase cellular protein synthesis
Increase in Blood Flow & Lymphatic drainage
for faster metabolic exchange between intracellular and extracellular tissue fluid.
