Myofacial Radio Frequency Therapy

What is Myofacial Radio Frequency Therapy?

Myofacial Radio Frequency Therapy combines radiofrequency technology with Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM). This method stimulates deeper soft tissues with higher electrical resistance to generate heat (Resistive Electric Transfer, RET), effectively releasing myofascial adhesions and alleviating myofascial pain. The deep heat softens the collagen in the fascia, resulting in enhanced effects compared to traditional manual techniques.

Mechanism of Myofacial Radio Frequency Therapy

The treatment principle involves using an "electrode fascia knife" to apply radiofrequency to deep soft tissues, generating heat and combining it with myofascial release techniques. This rapid heating deep within the body helps release myofascial adhesions and alleviate pain, making the treatment more effective than standard manual methods.

Treatment Effects

By disrupting adhesive tissues, the myofascial knife aids in repairing and reconstructing damaged areas, helping to relieve body discomfort, relax various muscle fascia, improve blood circulation, and reduce swelling.

FAQs About Myofacial Radio Frequency Therapy

How long does each treatment last?

The fascia knife can be used on various conditions, with treatment generally lasting about 20-30 minutes. The first session may take longer, as the physiotherapist needs to conduct a thorough assessment to ensure the treatment is safe and appropriate.

Does it hurt during treatment?

Patients may experience mild redness and soreness during treatment. The physiotherapist will adjust the intensity and pressure based on the patient’s comfort level.

Unsuitable Candidates

Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals
Tumors near the area of pain
Individuals with metal implants or devices in their bodies
Those with sensitive skin, acute inflammation, or infectious diseases
Individuals with chronic conditions such as heart disease, gallstones, or diabetes
Patients with bleeding disorders
Individuals with acute sprains

Are there any side effects?

After treatment, patients may experience mild redness and soreness, which is a normal response to myofascial release. Ice can be applied as needed; soreness typically subsides within 1-2 days, while any bruising usually resolves within 3-7 days.
