Terahertz therapy is a newer, device-based modality that may be offered as an adjunct within a personalised plan. [VERIFY: confirm the device and availability before publishing.]
Terahertz therapy uses a device that emits energy in the terahertz band of the electromagnetic spectrum, applied over an area during a session. It is used as one part of a broader plan rather than on its own.
It may be considered as an adjunct for certain presentations, alongside exercise and hands-on care, where a clinician judges it appropriate. As a newer modality, the supporting evidence is still developing, so it is used conservatively and with realistic expectations.
These are reasons to seek a professional assessment — not a promise that a specific treatment will suit everyone.
During a session the device is positioned over the treatment area for a set period, combined with the rest of your plan. Your clinician explains what to expect and monitors your response.
Assessment and suitability check.
Explanation of the modality and what to expect.
A guided session with the device.
Review of your response and next steps.
Follow the device’s instructions for use. As with other device-based modalities, it may be avoided in certain situations (for example over areas of malignancy, with some implanted electronic devices, in pregnancy over the area, or over areas of impaired sensation or circulation). Suitability is confirmed at assessment, and we make no guarantees of specific outcomes.
It is a newer modality and the evidence base is still developing. We use it conservatively, as an adjunct, and set realistic expectations.
It is generally intended to be comfortable; tell your clinician about any discomfort so the session can be adjusted.
Book an assessment and we’ll talk through your symptoms, goals and suitable options.
