Understanding EMTT Therapy
Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy (EMTT) delivers rapid oscillating magnetic fields (100–300 kHz, ~80 mT) that synchronize cellular electromagnetic activity and stimulate mitochondrial and osteogenic pathways. A recent in vitro study demonstrated acceleration of osteoblast differentiation and mineralization, indicating EMTT’s potential to enhance fracture healing and bone regeneration.
How does EMTT Therapy work?
EMTT delivers high-frequency pulses through a handheld applicator, penetrating deep tissues up to 18 cm. This generates electroporation, calcium influx, and gene upregulation (e.g., RUNX2, SP7), promoting extracellular matrix mineralization and anti-inflammatory cascades. In RCTs, EMTT combined with shockwave therapy produced significantly greater pain relief and improved function for rotator cuff tendinopathy versus shockwave alone, maintained at 24 weeks
Benefits of Deep Oscillation Therapy
- Accelerates bone & tissue repair by enhancing osteoblast activity and mineralization
- Reduces chronic pain, improving VAS pain scores in shoulder and groin conditions
- Improves functional mobility, with sustained gains up to six months post-tendon injury
- Non-invasive & comfortable, no downtime—fully clothed sessions lasting 10–20 minutes
Synergy with other modalities, amplifies effects when combined with shockwave or manual therapies
Conditions Treated with EMTT Therapy in Ottawa
EMTT therapy is ideal for deep tissue and cellular repair, offering a powerful boost to Physiocare’s rehabilitation protocols.
At Physiocare, we treat rotator cuff tendinopathy, chronic low back pain, osteoarthritis, tendon injuries, fractures, post-surgical recovery, and musculoskeletal inflammatory disorders—including osteitis pubis and plantar fasciitis.
Major Conditions Treated With EMTT Therapy
- Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy: EMTT + ESWT showed superior pain reduction and function sustained at 24 weeks.
- Chronic Low Back Pain: Addition of EMTT to standard care improved pain and disability in RCTs.
- Osteitis Pubis (Athletes): Four EMTT sessions reduced groin pain, enabling return to sport without medication.
- Fracture Healing & Bone Disorders: In vitro evidence shows enhanced osteoblast function and matrix mineralization.

Due to injury, I needed to start physiotherapy at a new clinic because my previous physiotherapist is currently on maternity leave. To be honest, I was extremely nervous. As a plus size person, I was worried about being judged or body shamed, which unfortunately can be a real concern when seeking healthcare. I'm so grateful that my fears were completely unfounded. From the moment I called, the front desk staff was kind, welcoming, and respectful. They were able to get me in quickly, and I felt comfortable right from the start. My physiotherapist was compassionate, understanding, and completely focused on helping me recover from my injury—NOT on my body size. At no point did I feel judged, criticized, or made to feel uncomfortable. Instead, I felt listened to, respected, and supported. They took the time to explain everything, respected my boundaries, and only performed treatments that I was comfortable with. I never felt pressured into anything. Finding healthcare providers who treat you with dignity and respect can make all the difference, and that was absolutely my experience here. If you've ever been hesitant to seek treatment because you're worried about being judged for your body size, or the weight capacity of the physio tables I highly recommend this clinic. They made me feel safe, respected, and cared for throughout my visit.

I have been a patient at Physiocare on Greenbank for many years. The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. You aren’t just a number here. The therapists care about you and want you to be feeling your best. Most recently I have been receiving regular weekly treatments by Nishika. She knows a lot about the body and the best ways to treat her patients. Her assistant Manjot is very kind and friendly and ensures your comfort when hooked up to machines. I enjoy chatting with her. Bhaumik has also stepped in to assist with my treatments when my regular team is busy helping other patients. His bedside manner is lovely and caring. He’s knowledgeable and goes the extra mile to ensure that you understand the treatment or exercise and that you are comfortable. I highly recommend this location for your physiotherapy.
