Interferential Therapy

During an IFT session, you will experience a gentle, soothing tingling or buzzing sensation on your skin in the treated area. The intensity of the current is carefully adjusted by our senior physiotherapist to ensure it remains comfortable and relaxing. It is a completely painless procedure designed to stimulate deep muscle tissues and trigger the body's natural endorphin-based pain relief mechanisms.

The ideal number of IFT sessions depends on the severity and duration of your condition. For acute muscle spasms, joint sprains, or post-injury swelling, 3 to 6 sessions are often sufficient to bring significant relief. For chronic pain management, such as knee osteoarthritis or long-standing lower back pain, a course of 10 to 12 sessions integrated with manual physical therapy is usually recommended.

Yes, like all electrotherapy modalities, Interferential Therapy has a few contraindications to ensure patient safety. It should not be used on individuals who have active cardiac pacemakers, metal implants in the treatment zone, or deep vein thrombosis (DVT). It is also avoided over the abdomen or pelvis during pregnancy and in areas with active malignancies or skin infections.
