Diathermy is a therapeutic treatment that uses electromagnetic energy, microwaves or sound waves to generate heat and improve blood flow.  It’s commonly prescribed for muscle and joint conditions and is capable of relieving pain and improving tissue mobility. 

Diathermy uses high-frequency electric current to produce heat deep inside a targeted tissue. It can reach areas as deep as two inches beneath the skin’s surface.

The diathermy machine does not apply heat directly to the body. Instead, the waves generated by the machine allow the body to generate heat from within the targeted tissue.

Diathermy therapy can have various benefits for overall health and wellbeing. These benefits may include:

• Increases blood flow and makes connective tissue more flexible
• Minimises inflammation and reduces fluid retention
• Accelerates the natural healing process
• Useful for back pain, muscle spasms, sprains and strains, tendonitis, bursitis and many other conditions
