The basic principle of Interferential Therapy (IFT) is to utilise the significant physiological effects of low frequency (<250pps) electrical stimulation of nerves without the associated painful and somewhat unpleasant side effects sometimes associated with low-frequency stimulation. To produce low-frequency effects at sufficient intensity and at sufficient depth, patients can experience considerable discomfort in the superficial…
