What is Bodyflow?
Bodyflow is a type of electrotherapy treatment. Its settings are specialised so that only the smooth muscle is stimulated. Smooth muscle is found around the blood and lymphatic vessels so this stimulation boosts blood movement and lymphatic drainage. This is great for reducing swelling, and promoting quicker tissue recovery.
Electrode are attached to the region of the body that is in need of treatment. The device is portable and is loaned out to the patient to continue treatment daily between physiotherapy sessions. Each bodyflow treatment lasts 20 minutes. The patient will experience a mild tingling sensation in the area applied and can occasionally get a slight muscle twitch in response to treatment.

- Lymphedema
