Electrotherapies Interference current electrotherapy is the use of low frequency electrical currents that have a precise physiological action on the tissues. Using 2 or 4 electrodes, the intensity and frequency of the current will allow to: – reduce pain (analgesic effect) – increase blood circulation – increase lymphatic circulation – stimulate or relax the muscles in spasms There is also the EMS Electrical Muscle Stim also called Russian Stim, which serves to stimulate and activate the muscles.
Ultrasound therapy When they come in contact with an inflammation (bursitis or tendonitis, for example), sound waves cause a vibration similar to a micro-massage. They produce a sensation of heat and stimulate circulation, which helps to accelerate healing and reduces inflammation.
