Physical therapy treatments we offer
Electrical nerve stimulation (TENS)
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation reduces the sensation of pain using a muscle and nerve stimulator. The device has several programmes, and sensitive patients tolerate it well.
Ultrasound therapy
Vibrations from the ultrasound head support tissue regeneration and circulation and relax the tissues. The treatment is painless.
Kinesiology taping
A special tape that supports weakened muscles, increases range of motion and improves circulation.
Cupping and flossing
Vacuum and compression techniques that release stiff muscles and improve tissue circulation.
