Muscle stimulation is now widely known and used in medicine, rehabilitation and sport. By applying electrical impulses, muscles can be caused to contract, which improves tone, increases endurance, and aids recovery after injuries. Most people know EMS/NMES technology as muscle stimulation and it is the most widespread in everyday practice; however, there is an older form of muscle stimulation that has been shown to be more effective in developing muscle strength: Kotz stimulation, also known as Russian stimulation.

Interferential therapy is a physiotherapy procedure that can help treat a range of health problems. In this article you will learn in detail about how interferential therapy works, its applications and the expected effects of the treatment. Interferential therapy (IF therapy) is an electrotherapy method primarily used for pain relief, muscle rehabilitation and improving circulation. During the treatment two different medium-frequency currents are applied, which meet within your tissues […]

In recent years social media and online marketplaces have been flooded with extremely cheap “medical” and “cosmetic” devices. Their ads promise wonderful effects: skin tightening, wrinkle reduction, muscle building, pain relief – often all from a single device, and sometimes for just a few thousand forints. A lay buyer may reasonably think: “If the expensive clinical machines work on a similar principle, why wouldn’t this cheap version work too?” The reality, however, is quite different.

Peroneal nerve palsy can result from damage to either the central or peripheral nervous system, although peripheral causes are more frequent. The condition primarily affects the common peroneal nerve, which branches from the sciatic nerve and runs around the fibular head, making it particularly vulnerable due to its superficial location and anatomical course.

Pelvic floor exercises, also known as pelvic floor training, are a special set of exercises developed to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles and preserve their flexibility. These muscles support the pelvic organs (bladder, uterus, rectum) in the correct position and play an important role in urination, defecation and sexual functions. When these muscles weaken or get injured, various problems can occur that can be effectively treated with pelvic floor exercises.

You may have already heard about electrostimulation as a training or rehabilitation method, but do you know the differences between whole-body electrostimulation (Whole Body – WB-EMS) and neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES)? In this article I introduce the characteristics, applications and advantages of the two technologies so you can understand which method might be most suitable for you.

Prostate surgery is most commonly performed to treat prostate cancer or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The term prostatectomy refers to the complete surgical removal of the prostate. The procedure can be associated with various complications, which can be classified as acute (short-term) and long-term.

Imagine your life changing overnight. After an unexpected illness or accident you end up in hospital, where doctors do everything to save your life. However, after acute care you often face the situation of being left on your own on the road to further recovery. Unfortunately, this is not an isolated case in Hungary but a systemic problem that severely affects thousands of patients.

If you see a doctor or go to emergency care for chest pain, trauma or shortness of breath, a chest X‑ray is usually taken (often along with other tests such as an ECG). X‑ray is an imaging method that is typically one of the first diagnostic tests used to clarify diseases affecting the chest. I wrote about why it is done and what can be seen on it.

Microcurrent therapy (MCR) is an innovative electrotherapy method based on the application of very low-intensity electrical currents. This treatment is widely used for pain relief and for managing joint inflammations. The aim of microcurrent therapy is to reduce inflammatory processes, promote tissue regeneration, and alleviate pain. Mechanisms of action of microcurrent therapy include stimulation of cellular metabolism, which contributes to reduced inflammation and enhanced tissue repair.

A muscle strain is an injury that occurs when your muscles are overstretched or overloaded. This condition is accompanied by pain, swelling and a limited range of motion, something anyone who leads an active lifestyle will encounter a few times. It can vary in severity from a mild strain (merely a few torn muscle fibers) to a complete muscle rupture.

The BMI calculator is a simple tool that lets you calculate your body mass index (BMI). This number helps determine whether your weight is in an appropriate proportion to your height. The concept of the body mass index is attributed to the Belgian mathematician Adolphe Quetelet, who developed this measure in the 1830s. It was originally developed for population-level studies to assess the prevalence of obesity in larger groups.
