Compex Functional Electrical Stimulation

SWAhealth Physiotherapy Rehab Clinic

Have you ever imagined giving your muscles a workout while you relax? It might sound like science fiction, but it’s a reality with Compex Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES). This amazing therapy is changing the game in muscle recovery and strength building.

What is Compex (FES)?

Compex FES uses tiny electrical pulses to make your muscles contract. It’s like your brain telling your muscles to move. Don’t worry – it doesn’t hurt! Most people just feel a gentle tingle or buzz.

How does it Work?

When you come for a Compex session, here’s what happens:

We put small, sticky pads on your skin near the muscles that need to be worked upon. 

The Compex machine sends tiny electrical signals through these pads.

SwaHealth’s expert and experienced Physiotherapists choose a program that’s right for you, whether you need to build strength, ease pain, or recover faster from workouts.
