Targeted Radiofrequency (TR-Therapy) in Singapore
How Does Targeted Radiofrequency Therapy Work?
A physiotherapist applies a treatment head over the selected area and adjusts the intensity to your comfort and clinical needs. Depending on the treatment goal, a warming or lower-heat application may be used. Radiofrequency energy generates controlled deep-tissue heat and ionic oscillation, which may encourage vasodilation and microcirculation to support the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to tissues. TR-Therapy is used as one part of a broader physiotherapy plan that may also include exercise and manual therapy.
What Are the Potential Benefits of Radiofrequency Therapy?
- May support management of deep-tissue discomfort
- Can provide comfortable warming to selected tissues
- May complement rehabilitation for muscle and joint pain
- A non-invasive option when clinically appropriate

- Acute or chronic muscle pulls/tears
- Chronic lower back and osteoarthritis pain
