What is electrotherapy?
Electrotherapy uses safe, low-level electrical currents delivered through pads on the skin. TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) and IFT (Interferential Therapy) help block pain signals and relax muscle spasm, while muscle stimulation helps weak muscles contract after injury, surgery or nerve problems.
At MuvAgain, electrotherapy is used as a supporting tool for pain relief, always alongside hands-on treatment and exercise, which are the foundation of lasting recovery.
