Italian term

tremuloterapia

Italian to English Other Medical: Health Care
In relation to the San pellegrino spa baths:

Al reparto è annessa la sezione di ginnastica medica e di tremuloterapia, oltre a una di elettroterapia, cinesiterapia, inalazioni, bagni di acido carbonico.

I have never heard of this and can't find any references to it.

Any help much appreciated!

Isabelle Johnson (asker) Dec 28, 2017:
Yes there's certainly no doubt that it is a vibration therapy. there's nothing abiguous about that. What I'm missing is an equivalent term - 'tremulotherapy' - with an 'h' gets no hits at all and doesn't seem to be an English expression.
EleoE Dec 28, 2017:
È una terapia con vibrazioni/vibratoria. Comunque, tremuloterapia è un termine desueto.
Ad esempio lo trovi nell'articolo "1894-1906: nuove idee e prassi antinfortunistiche in Italia", in questa pagina: http://www.academia.edu/2214589/L_eredità_del_pensiero_di_Be...
In questo documento di fine ottocento viene definita "un perfezionamento del massaggio vibratorio": https://archive.org/details/attidelrealeisti77710real
Nell'archivio iconografico del Verbano Cusio Ossola si trova persino un un manifesto pubblicitario delle terme arsenicali di Stresa tradotto in inglese, in cui il termine è tradotto letteralmente con tremuloterapy: https://archiviodelverbanocusioossola.com/tag/tremuloterapia...

It may be this they're referring to.

"During the Russian space program, doctors found that astronauts suffered from bone loss and fractures at a much younger age than normal. They began to use vibration therapy to help strengthen astronauts’ bone mass and muscles. Today, NASA continues to use vibration therapy to help prevent bone loss."

This is useful, thanks. It sounds a bit modern but may well be the best option.

trembling threrapy / TRE

This is a wild guess. So confidence level 1.
I did find the Italian term in several newspapers from the early 1900s.

SANTA CRUZ � When Jackie Iddings wants to get rid of stress, she sits with her back against the wall and shakes.

After a few minutes she feels calm and whatever was bothering her doesn�t seem so important anymore.


Lots of cross links to TRE - Tension (or Trauma) Releasing exercises.
Tension Releasing Exercises shake loose 'therapeutic tremors' - LA ...

Aug 22, 2014 - I've been running for 30 years and lucky enough to avoid an iliotibial band injury until this year. But my luck ran out a few weeks back, and the physical therapist has banned many kinds of workouts for a while. That seemed the perfect time to try something called TRE, or Tension Releasing Exercises.
"It gives me a sense of freedom in my body," Iddings said about the trauma-releasing exercises that induce shaking. "I can tell at a very deep level that old stresses and traumas are let go."

Thanks for this. Therapeutic tremours might work.
