INDIBA in physiotherapy in Torremolinos

What INDIBA is and what it can offer

INDIBA is a radiofrequency device that passes a high-frequency current through the tissues via an electrode and a return plate. It works in capacitive mode, which acts mainly on superficial and soft tissues, and resistive mode, which reaches denser structures such as tendons, ligaments or joint areas.

Depending on the intensity, it can be used without any noticeable rise in temperature, in more acute or sensitive phases, or with gentle warmth in later phases. It is used to reduce pain, ease the feeling of stiffness and make movement easier, which helps you make better progress with exercise.

Let us be honest about its role: the available evidence supports its use as a complement for pain and recovery in some injuries, but it does not replace therapeutic exercise or good load management. That is why at Centro Ubud we do not offer it as a stand-alone treatment, but as one more tool within the plan.

It is a non-invasive, well-tolerated technique, applied by physiotherapists after an assessment confirming that it is appropriate and that there are no contraindications.

In a typical session, the physiotherapist glides the electrode over the area with a conductive medium while you lie or sit comfortably, adjusting the intensity according to what you feel. We often combine it with active movement or apply it just before exercise, so the reduction in pain is put to use in gaining strength and mobility. That way every session adds up towards the goal of getting back to your usual activity.
