Andullation

Andullation is a fairly recent method of treatment, one of the so-called ‘biophysical’ therapies. Combining mechanical vibrations and infrared heat, Andullation has been used for over 10 years in Germany to alleviate pain, improve performance and provide overall body relaxation. This technique has been developed in university clinics by doctors and researchers. Andullation does not act specifically on a single organ, but has a global influence on all the body’s basic functions.

Three simple principles are used in this therapy:

  • Decubitus, i.e. lying down, the ultimate relaxation position
  • Infrareds, known as long as the sun has existed
  • Oscillations at frequencies of between 20 and 80 oscillations per second, whose beneficial effects have been known since the ’30s.

Andullation applies the combined effects of mechanical vibration and infrared heat to stimulate cellular metabolism and promote the regeneration process. This is the secret behind Andullation mattresses, used for relaxation, back problems, fibromyalgia and other chronic conditions.

The first Andullation system was launched in 2001. In 2004, the second model from HHP, the company behind the concept and its development, entered the market, still known as the “massage mattress”. In those days, medical programs didn’t yet exist. Since then, HHP has developed a range of professional devices, instruments and services to help relieve the pain of chronic pathologies, as well as problems of circulation or muscular tension.
