Many people suffer either
with regular/recurring sporting injuries or one-off muscular strains from
accidents or excess muscle fatigue over a short time. Although the first port of call for many is
physiotherapy, which can be very successful, this doesn’t suit everyone. Some people find regular physio’ either too
painful, too expensive or that the effects are short term. An alternative, which can be used successfully
in combination with other treatments or as a stand alone treatment, is to have
a high intensity radio-frequency treatment. The main advantages of this being
that there is no muscular manipulation required, so in many cases the
individual feels no discomfort at all. The effects tend to be long lasting as
the muscle is being healed without hands-on pressure, but by using a
non-invasive hand-piece that acts from the surface of the treatment area and
penetrates to the affected area. The
most common uses are for conditions such as tennis elbow, shoulder strain
through playing cricket or rugby, leg injuries from football and whiplash,
frozen shoulder, back pain and general stiffness. Long-term discomfort can be debilitating, so
why not book a consultation and start your road to recovery today.
