INDIBA physiotherapy in Tarragona

What are the benefits of INDIBA?

• Pain relief: Radiofrequency can help reduce acute and chronic muscle and joint pain.
• Reduced inflammation: Deep heat helps clear localised inflammation.
• Faster recovery: It can speed up recovery from muscle, tendon and ligament injuries.
• Improved blood flow: It stimulates blood flow and cell metabolism, helping deliver oxygen and nutrients to the tissues.
• Muscle relaxation: It helps reduce tension and muscle knots before other techniques.
• Complements other treatments: It makes manual therapy, dry needling and therapeutic exercise more effective.

When is INDIBA indicated?

• Sports injuries: Overload, muscle tears and sprains.
• Tendinopathies: Shoulder, elbow, knee or Achilles tendinitis.
• Muscle knots and pain: Tension, overload and myofascial pain.
• After surgery: Functional recovery after an operation.
• Chronic pain: As part of a comprehensive treatment plan for osteoarthritis and musculoskeletal problems.

Who is INDIBA treatment for?

• Athletes: Footballers, runners, padel players and anyone who trains and wants to get back sooner and safely after an overload, a muscle tear or a sprain.
• People with long-standing pain: Knee osteoarthritis, or lower back or neck pain that keeps coming back: deep heat relieves pain and makes it easier to move and do your exercises.
• Patients after surgery: After knee, shoulder or ankle surgery, to regain mobility and reduce swelling in the area.
• Physical jobs or long hours sitting: Back, neck or shoulder muscle knots that keep returning due to posture or daily workload.
• Injuries that won't fully heal: Tendinitis or pain that has lasted weeks or months and has not improved with other treatments.

Treatment carried out by a physiotherapist

What is INDIBA and how does it work?

What is an INDIBA session at Fontanet like?

• Assessment: The physiotherapist asks about your injury, examines the area and rules out contraindications. If INDIBA is not what you need, we will tell you and suggest another technique.
• Application: You lie on the treatment table, we place the return plate in contact with your skin and apply the electrode with a conductive cream over the area. You will feel a gentle, pleasant warmth; the intensity is adjusted to what you feel.
• Combined treatment: In the same session, INDIBA is usually combined with manual therapy, dry needling or therapeutic exercise, depending on the injury.
• Afterwards: You can carry on as normal when you leave. We will give you exercise or loading guidelines for home and an estimate of how many sessions you will need.
