ELECTROTHERAPY
In my physiotherapeutic work, I use a form of electrotherapy that combines various types of currents. The goal is to stimulate muscles and nerves as physiologically and deeply as possible, without unnecessarily stressing the animal.
This involves the use of medium-frequency alternating currents, which have the advantage of overcoming skin resistance more easily and thus reaching deeper muscle and tissue structures. This medium-frequency current form is superimposed with low-frequency impulses that specifically support neuromuscular control.
With this combination, it is possible to achieve both activating and regulating effects. Depending on the setting, the impulses can promote muscular activity, support coordination between nerves and muscles, or be used to regulate muscle tone if needed. The treatment is individually adapted to the findings and the resilience of each animal.
Electrotherapy is generally used in addition to active exercises and manual physiotherapeutic techniques and is part of a holistic treatment concept.
