Active Comparator
Experimental or Diathermy-Radiofrecuency
Control or Cavitation
All patients are given a Combined Physiotherapy Protocol (CPP) consisting of: Diathermy-Radiofrecuency (manual 70% intensity of about 40-43º resistive modality for about 30 minutes and authomatic capacitive modality for about 10 minutes) and application of Presotherapy (intensity 35%, compression 35seg, pause 15 seg, speed 9, for about 30 minutes). Non-invasive treatment
All patients are given a Combined Physiotherapy Protocol (CPP) consisting of: Cavitation (plane electrode for about 30 minutes and focal electrode for about 10 minutes) at 70% intensity and application of Presotherapy (intensity 35%, compression 35seg, pause 15 seg, speed 9, for about 30 minutes). Non-invasive treatment
