View location and contact detailsWhat is diathermy?
Diathermy uses radiofrequency energy that can generate heat in tissues. The physiotherapist applies the equipment to the treatment area and adjusts its application according to the treatment goal and your response.
The sensation of warmth can vary. Tell us if you feel any discomfort during application so the physiotherapist can adapt or stop it.
