Electrophysical Modalities

 If your physiotherapist feels like it would be a good fit with your unique rehabilitation plan, they might suggest an electrophysical modality, such as ultrasound, LASER, IFC (Interferential Current), or TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation).

We know these words might seem big and intimidating, but they can be incredibly effective methods of managing pain. They involve electrical devices applied to the injury site, and – don’t worry! – the procedure is totally painless.

These modalities can increase blood flow to the area, relax tissues and muscles, and break down scar tissue. But perhaps most importantly, they can finally relieve you of deep-seated pain in the body!
