This is the second part of a two-part feature focusing on the use of electromagnetic stimulation for women's health physiotherapy. If you've ever heard of using electric muscle stimulation to train the pelvic floor muscles, that's what we're talking about here.
In Part I about healing with the use of electromagnetic therapy, we looked at the top three types of therapeutic modalities: therapeutic ultrasound, laser and INDIBA. These techniques use sound waves, radio waves or light waves to penetrate the skin and reach the deeper tissues.
Electromagnetic therapy might or might not include vibration, heat, light and electricity. They are generally painless, non-invasive treatments that are very safe when conducted by a trained professional.
Of these three, therapeutic ultrasound and INDIBA are normally used within a physiotherapy setting. They are applied to treat a wide range of internal and external symptoms affecting general conditions and pelvic health such as:
inflammation
swelling
pain
muscle tone
incontinence
vaginal problems, like burning, itching, poor hydration or atrophy
musculoskeletal issues post-pregnancy
