How does mutual induction apply in physiotherapy?

Mutual induction in physiotherapy refers to the use of electromagnetic fields to stimulate healing and tissue regeneration. By applying an alternating current through coils, a magnetic field is generated that induces electric currents in nearby tissues, promoting cellular activity and enhancing circulation. This principle is often utilized in modalities like interferential current therapy and TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) to alleviate pain and improve muscle function. Overall, mutual induction helps facilitate recovery and improve patient outcomes in rehabilitation settings.
