Electrotherapy
Electrotherapy is a fantastic adjunction to hands-on treatment that assists in accelerating healing and recovery. By applying a small electric current to targeted areas of tissue we are able to relieve swelling, and pain, improve muscle contraction and initiate movement. Most commonly used as a muscle relaxant but has also been proven to treat more severe neurological conditions by stimulating deep brain tissue. It can be used on its own or combined with our manual/hands-on therapy techniques and our bespoke exercise plans to maximise results and recovery.
Although Electrotherapy treatments are mainly used on humans, it is more common now in treating certain conditions in dogs and horses.
