Interferential Therapy (IFT) is a non-invasive physiotherapy treatment that uses low-frequency electrical currents to support pain management and rehabilitation. It may be considered for certain musculoskeletal conditions, muscle discomfort, and movement-related problems.

At Physio Care, interferential therapy is recommended following an individual assessment. Your physiotherapist will consider your symptoms, condition, and treatment goals to determine whether IFT is appropriate for you.

What Is Interferential Therapy?

Interferential Therapy uses controlled electrical currents delivered through electrodes placed on the skin. The treatment is commonly used as part of physiotherapy to help manage pain and support rehabilitation.

IFT may be used alongside other physiotherapy approaches, such as therapeutic exercises and manual therapy, depending on your individual condition.

What to Expect During an Interferential Therapy Session

Your physiotherapist will first assess your symptoms and the area requiring treatment. If IFT is appropriate, electrodes will be placed on or around the targeted area.

This approach allows treatment to address both symptom management and functional recovery.

How Many IFT Sessions Do You Need?
