ELECTROTHERAPY
Harnessing the Power of Electrotherapy for Optimal Rehabilitation
At Broadmead Physiotherapy, we are keenly aware of the importance of rehabilitation in the process of recovery. Our dedication to excellence extends to the use of contemporary therapies, like electrotherapy, to speed up your return to optimal physical health and improve the rehabilitation process.
What is Electrotherapy?
Electrotherapy is a therapeutic treatment approach that uses electrical currents which can be used to treat a range of musculoskeletal conditions. It is a non-invasive method that is regularly painless and can help reduce discomfort while enhancing muscle function and healing. Our skilled physiotherapists incorporate electrotherapy into your personalized rehabilitation plan in a way that is specifically catered to your individual needs, making sure that this cutting-edge modality is only used as necessary for your recovery
Here’s how we incorporate Electrotherapy into our treatments:
- Pain Management: Electrotherapy can significantly reduce pain by encouraging the body’s natural painkillers, endorphins, to be released. Electrotherapy can help manage discomfort and lessen reliance on painkillers whether you’re recovering from an injury or surgery.
- Muscle Re-Education: Regaining control and strength in weakened or injured muscles is a crucial part of rehabilitation for many patients. The targeted muscle groups can be controlled and functioned better thanks to electrotherapy’s assistance in muscle re-education.
- Improved Circulation: Electrotherapy uses electrical currents to encourage blood flow to the affected areas. Improved circulation is essential for lowering inflammation and encouraging tissue repair.
- Accelerated Healing: Tissue regeneration and repair are accelerated by electrotherapy. You may be able to resume your regular activities and sports more quickly as a result of shorter recovery times.
- Customized Treatment: Because every patient is different, our physiotherapists customize your Electrotherapy sessions to meet your unique needs and objectives. Your treatment plan changes as you do, ensuring the best result.
Some of Electrotherapy’s Uses in Physical Rehabilitation
A variety of injuries and conditions can benefit from the use of electrotherapy. It is a useful tool in the hands of our skilled physiotherapists due to its adaptability and capacity to target particular areas. The following common injuries can benefit from Electrotherapy:
- Muscle Strains and Tears: By reducing pain, enhancing blood flow, and assisting with muscle re-education, electrotherapy speeds up the recovery of muscle injuries.
- Tendonitis: Tendonitis, which is characterized by tendon inflammation, can be uncomfortable and restrict movement. Assisting in reducing inflammation and promoting tissue healing are two benefits of electrotherapy.
- Joint Pain and Arthritis: Electrotherapy can help you manage pain, increase joint mobility, and improve your overall quality of life whether you’re dealing with acute joint pain or managing a chronic condition like arthritis.
- Sports Injuries: Sports-related injuries like sprains, strains, and ligament damage are common among athletes, and electrotherapy frequently helps them recover more quickly.
- Back and Neck Pain: Where appropriate, chronic back and neck pain caused by caused by issues related to herniated discs or spinal stenosis can be treated with electrotherapy in addition to other physiotherapy methods.

Went to Ian for physio and he has been patient, professional, helpful, and knowledgeable. He sends me home with progressive exercises to do and evaluates the pain each time I’ve come in to make sure we are addressing the root cause of the issue. Great service and front staff is friendly and helpful too - I highly recommend Ian and this clinic!read more

Hands down on my best Physio experience. Fixed many long lasting problems here with very few visits, especially with Matt, bro was able to loosen my shoulders like they’ve never been relaxed my entire life. I kept moving them around after the session for the rest of the day because I have not felt them move like this for a very long time.read more
