Bio-Electric Therapy
Wake up the muscles pain switched off.
Targeted electrical stimulation to relieve pain and reactivate weak or inhibited muscles — most effective inside a broader OrthoRestore™ rehab plan.
Bio-electric therapy applies a low-level electrical current through pads on the skin. It is used in the clinic to help manage discomfort and support muscle activation as part of a wider treatment plan.
Who it’s for
Those with weak or inhibited muscles after injury, or pain that limits training and daily activity.
How it works
Targeted electrical currents stimulate nerves and muscle fibres — modulating pain signals and re-activating muscles that switched off after injury.
What it treats
- Muscle weakness after injury
- Acute and chronic pain
- Post-surgery muscle inhibition
- Nerve-related pain
- Rehab plateaus
What a session involves
Pads are placed around the area and the current is raised slowly until you feel a tingling or light tapping — never pain. A session runs about 15 to 20 minutes, usually while you are already in for other treatment.
When to see a doctor instead
It is not used over a pacemaker or other implanted electrical device, over broken skin, or during pregnancy without medical advice. See a doctor rather than booking a session if pain follows a significant fall or accident, if you have numbness or weakness in an arm or leg, if you lose control of your bladder or bowels, or if pain comes with fever, unexplained weight loss or night pain that wakes you. These are signs that need medical assessment first.
