What is Electrotherapy?
Electrotherapy is a treatment we use at Bodytonic Clinic to help with pain relief, muscle recovery, and injury rehabilitation. It sends gentle electrical pulses to the affected area through pads placed on the skin. This helps reduce pain, improve circulation, and stimulate muscles to aid healing.
It’s commonly used for sports injuries, chronic pain, and post-surgery recovery. Treatments like TENS and EMS are safe, effective, and non-invasive, making them a great option for easing discomfort and speeding up recovery.

Meet Our Qualified Electrotherapy Practitioners
At a Bodytonic Clinic electrotherapy appointment, your therapist will first assess your condition and discuss your symptoms. They’ll then apply small electrode pads to the affected area, which deliver gentle electrical pulses to stimulate muscles, improve circulation, and relieve pain. You may feel a mild tingling or muscle contraction, but it’s safe and comfortable. The session typically lasts 20–30 minutes, and your therapist will adjust the settings to suit your needs. Electrotherapy is often combined with other treatments like massage or exercise therapy to enhance recovery and long-term results.
