Yes, SIS therapy is generally safe when applied by a trained physiotherapist. It is non-invasive and does not involve skin contact. However, it is not recommended for people with pacemakers, metal implants near the treatment area, epilepsy, or during pregnancy.
Most patients find SIS treatment comfortable. You will feel strong but controlled muscle contractions during the session. Some people may experience mild discomfort at first, especially if muscles are very tight or weak, but your therapist will adjust the intensity to keep you comfortable.
The number of sessions depends on your condition and treatment goals. Some patients feel relief after just 3-5 sessions, while others may require 8-12 sessions for full recovery. Our physiotherapist will recommend a personalized treatment plan.
SIS sessions are usually short and efficient, lasting around 10 to 20 minutes. This makes it a convenient option for busy patients.

- Back and neck pain
