Physical Therapy & Electrotherapy

Physical therapy and electrotherapy at CPM Pavla Koláře uses a comprehensive suite of BTL medical devices — the leading brand in physical medicine — to treat musculoskeletal pain, swelling, and recovery acceleration. Modalities available include shock wave therapy, 20W laser therapy, ultrasound, vacuum compression, lymphatic drainage devices, microcurrents, TENS, EMS, interferential and diadynamic currents, Tecar radiofrequency, and magnetotherapy. Treatments are prescribed by the clinic's physicians and administered by physiotherapists.

Physical therapy at CPM Pavla Koláře is delivered using a fully equipped BTL device suite — BTL is among Europe's most established manufacturers of medical electrotherapy and mechanotherapy equipment, and the centre's investment in their full range reflects its position as a clinical rather than wellness facility. Shock wave therapy is applied using radial or focused acoustic pulses to stimulate tissue repair in tendons, fasciae, and calcific deposits. It is commonly used for plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, lateral epicondylitis, calcific shoulder tendinitis, and patellar tendinopathy, where it may help break down calcification and stimulate local circulation and collagen remodelling. The 20W laser therapy system delivers photobiomodulation at a therapeutic intensity suitable for deeper tissue targets including larger joints and paraspinal musculature. Ultrasound therapy is applied for tissue heating, chronic pain, and scar tissue softening. Tecar radiofrequency uses capacitive and resistive transfer to generate diathermic tissue heating for muscular and joint conditions. Magnetotherapy delivers pulsed electromagnetic fields to support bone healing and reduce inflammation. TENS and EMS are used for pain modulation and targeted muscle activation respectively. Vacuum compression and device lymphatic drainage are used alongside manual therapy to manage oedema and post-surgical swelling. All physical therapy treatments are integrated into the patient's broader treatment plan rather than offered as standalone sessions without clinical oversight. This approach ensures that the right modality is selected for the diagnosis and delivered at the right time in the rehabilitation trajectory.
