Electrotherapy and Hot and Cold Therapy - Sterling Physiotherapy

Electrotherapy

This is an increasingly out-dated approach due to the fact that most decent studies render ultrasound and interferential less effective than exercise. Ultrasound has been found so ineffective for shoulder problems it is almost unethical to use as a treatment. However, if you feel it is something you would like to have applied we have the equipment and the know-how.

Hot and Cold Therapy

Hot and cold therapies have been used for thousands of years and are actually a more effective treatment when combined with stretching/strengthening than any of the fancy electrotherapies. The way these therapies are applied is getting more sophisticated and suitable to the modern lifestyle for added convenience. Equipment for this therapy is usually in stock at the Sterling Physiotherapy.

The Sterling Physiotherapy Practice has expanded and now offers a full range of physiotherapy services from the Asbrooke Sports Club and the Sunderland physiotherapy clinic.
