Treatment at a glance
Electrotherapy
What it is
Electrotherapy applies controlled low- and medium-frequency electrical currents — such as TENS, interferential or galvanic currents — through skin electrodes to relieve pain, stimulate muscle and reduce inflammation.
Who it's for
Guests with chronic musculoskeletal pain, nerve-related pain, muscle weakness or spasm, and those in orthopaedic or post-injury rehabilitation.
Expected results
Reduced pain, less muscle spasm and improved local circulation and muscle activation over a course of sessions.
How it works
Therapeutic currents act in several ways: they modulate pain-signal transmission at the spinal cord (the 'gate control' effect), prompt the release of the body's own endorphins, drive rhythmic muscle contraction to counter weakness and spasm, and increase local blood flow. The modality and current are selected for the target tissue and goal.
Assessment
Duration:10 minThe physiotherapist selects the current type and places the electrodes over the target area.
Treatment
Duration:15–20 minThe current is applied at a comfortable intensity; you feel a mild tingling or gentle contraction.
Review
The electrodes are removed and progress is reviewed for the next session.
