Types of Electrotherapy We Use
Our physiotherapists are trained in a range of electrotherapy modalities, which may be used individually or in combination with hands-on treatment and exercise rehabilitation. These include:
TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) to help reduce pain and muscle tension
Muscle stimulation to support muscle activation and recovery where weakness or inhibition is present
The choice of electrotherapy will depend on your symptoms, diagnosis, and stage of recovery. Each treatment is carefully selected to complement your wider physiotherapy plan.
How Electrotherapy Supports Your Recovery
Electrotherapy is not used as a standalone treatment, but as part of an integrated physiotherapy approach. It may be combined with manual therapy, mobilisation techniques, exercise therapy, and rehabilitation programmes to improve outcomes and speed up recovery.
Many patients find electrotherapy helps to reduce pain levels enough to allow more effective movement and exercise, supporting longer-term improvements in strength, mobility, and function.
Is Electrotherapy Right for You?
Electrotherapy may be suitable if you are experiencing:
Acute or persistent pain
Muscle tightness or weakness
Reduced movement following injury or surgery
Sports-related injuries
Your physiotherapist will assess your condition and discuss whether electrotherapy is appropriate as part of your treatment.

About Our Electrotherapy Treatment
A remedy that is traditionally found in Chinese medicine with proven success in treating conditions such as tight muscles and chronic pain, Acupuncture is a treatment that involves the gentle insertion of needles into the skin in key ‘acupuncture points’ that depend on the condition.
As a treatment that requires specialist knowledge, our physiotherapists have completed a post-graduate training course in the use of acupuncture. They also are members of the Acupuncture Association of Chartered Physiotherapists and are skilled in the application of Eastern and Western principles.
