What is physical therapy (fizikoterápia)?
Physical therapy covers natural treatment methods that can ease symptoms without a more invasive physical intervention. The therapists at MozgásKlinika Újbuda take a holistic view and fit physical therapy into your overall treatment plan.
Physical therapy is mainly used for pain relief. It is not a goal in itself: here it is always part of your treatment plan, alongside manual therapy and active physiotherapy.

Physical therapy treatments we offer
Electrical nerve stimulation (TENS)
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation reduces the sensation of pain using a muscle and nerve stimulator. The device has several programmes, and sensitive patients tolerate it well.
Ultrasound therapy
Vibrations from the ultrasound head support tissue regeneration and circulation and relax the tissues. The treatment is painless.
Kinesiology taping
A special tape that supports weakened muscles, increases range of motion and improves circulation.
Cupping and flossing
Vacuum and compression techniques that release stiff muscles and improve tissue circulation.
Vibration massage therapy
Massage with a vibrating device, which the clinic uses among its pain-relieving treatments, alongside manual therapy.
