How Does This Chair Assist With Diathermy Treatment?

The backrest and sides of this chair are open, which allows both the patient and the medical practitioner to be more comfortable during the procedure. Improved patient and practitioner comfort have been linked to better therapeutic outcomes and a reduction in long term injuries for physiotherapists.

Does This Chair Contain Any Metal Parts?

This Diathermy Physiotherapy Chair is made entirely from beech and laminated plywood, with no metal parts or fixings. This makes it ideal for diathermy treatment because there is no metal to interfere with the microwaves.

What Is Diathermy Therapy?

There are three main types of diathermy therapy:

Shortwave diathermy: Uses high-frequency electromagnetic energy to generate heat which can then be applied in pulsed or continuous energy waves.
Microwave diathermy: Uses microwaves to generate heat in the body. It can be used to evenly warm deep tissues without heating the skin. Since it can’t penetrate deep muscles, it’s best suited for areas that are closer to the skin, such as the shoulders.
Ultrasound diathermy: Uses sound waves to generate heat by vibrating the tissue, promoting blood flow into the area. This method is best for deep tissue treatments.

Who Can Benefit From Diathermy Therapy?

Treating injuries with diathermic heat can increase blood flow, make connective tissue more flexible, reduce inflammation and prevent excessive fluid retention. This can help with conditions such as arthritis, bursitis, fibromyalgia, myositis, neuralgia, neuromas and tendonitis.
