Depending on the setting, this can have the following effects:<\/p>\n<div class=\"effecten\">\n<div class=\"feit\"><b>Less pain<\/b><span>The pulses dampen the pain signals to the brain. In studies of long-term back pain, pain fell by almost 2 points on average on a scale of 0 to 10.<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"feit\"><b>Relaxed muscles<\/b><span>Tense or cramped muscles can relax, so you move more freely.<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"feit\"><b>Stronger muscles<\/b><span>At a higher setting the muscles contract powerfully. This helps weak muscles get going again, for example after a period of little activity.<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"feit\"><b>Moving better in daily life<\/b><span>In studies of back pain and knee osteoarthritis, people were less limited in everyday activities such as walking, climbing stairs and bending.<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"feit\"><b>Better control of your pelvic floor<\/b><span>Your pelvic floor muscles contract by themselves. You feel better where they are and find them easier to train. In a study of urine leakage when coughing or exercising, 75% of women improved, compared with 22% after a sham treatment.<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"feit\"><b>Easier exercise<\/b><span>With less pain and tension you can exercise better. And exercise is the basis for lasting recovery.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"klein\">How much effect you notice differs from person to person, and the studies are still small. That is why we review together after 3 to 6 sessions what it has done for you. <a href=\"https:\/\/fysiotherapiekijkduin.nl\/home\/en\/treatments\/heit-magnetic-therapy\/research\/\">Read what the research says<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"twee\">\n<div>\n<h2>What is HEIT?<\/h2>\n<p>HEIT is a treatment with a strong magnetic field. The letters stand for High Energy Inductive Therapy. We work with the Compact-II by Enraf-Nonius.<\/p>\n<p>The physiotherapist holds a round treatment head on or just above the painful area. It emits short, powerful pulses. The pulses pass through clothing and skin into muscles, tendons and joints. There they can reduce pain, relax tense muscles or make weak muscles contract.<\/p>\n<p>HEIT supports your recovery. It does not replace exercise. How much it helps differs from person to person.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fysiotherapiekijkduin.nl\/home\/en\/treatments\/heit-magnetic-therapy\/research\/\"><strong>Read how HEIT works and what scientific research says about it \u2192<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h2>What does it feel like?<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"vink\">\n<li>You feel a tapping or pulsing sensation.<\/li>\n<li>At a higher setting, the muscles contract by themselves.<\/li>\n<li>It does not hurt.

HEIT works on the same principle: the magnetic field makes the pelvic floor muscles contract while you stay fully clothed. Pelvic floor training remains the basis; HEIT gives extra support, so that you also learn to use the muscles properly yourself. After 6 sessions we review together whether it helps. <a href=\"https:\/\/fysiotherapiekijkduin.nl\/home\/en\/treatments\/heit-magnetic-therapy\/research\/#incontinence\">More about HEIT for urine leakage<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h2>Who is it not for?<\/h2>\n<div class=\"let\">\n<strong>HEIT is not possible if you:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>have a pacemaker, implanted defibrillator or other electronic implant, such as a cochlear implant or medication pump<\/li>\n<li>have epilepsy, or it is suspected<\/li>\n<li>have an injury to the head or neck<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<strong>Consult your doctor first if you:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>are pregnant or have a fever<\/li>\n<li>have (or may have) a tumour near the treatment area<\/li>\n<li>have metal in your body at that spot, such as a knee replacement<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"margin:6px 0 0\">For children and older adults we consult the doctor first.

At a higher setting, muscles contract by themselves. We set the strength to what feels comfortable for you.<\/p><\/details>\n<details><summary>Do I need to undress?<\/summary><p>No, the magnetic field works through clothing. You do briefly put aside jewellery, your watch, phone and bank cards.<\/p><\/details>\n<details><summary>How many treatments do I need?<\/summary><p>That depends on your complaint. For acute complaints we usually treat twice a week. For longer-standing complaints, such as osteoarthritis, it is often 6 to 8 treatments. You will hear this after the intake.<\/p><\/details>\n<details><summary>How soon will I notice something?<\/summary><p>That differs from person to person. Some people notice less pain after a few treatments; for others it takes longer or the effect remains limited. That is why we regularly review together.<\/p><\/details>\n<details><summary>Has HEIT been scientifically studied?<\/summary><p>Yes. There are studies in back pain, muscle pain, knee osteoarthritis and urine leakage, among others. The results are favourable, but the studies are still small. On <a href=\"https:\/\/fysiotherapiekijkduin.nl\/home\/en\/treatments\/heit-magnetic-therapy\/research\/\">our research page<\/a> you can read honestly what is known, with sources.<\/p><\/details>\n<details><summary>Is HEIT reimbursed?<\/summary><p>No. At our practice HEIT is a separate treatment, outside your physiotherapy. That way your physiotherapy time remains fully available for assessment, exercise and guidance. Your regular physiotherapy is reimbursed according to your policy.<\/p><\/details>\n<details><summary>Do I need a referral?<\/summary><p>No, you can come to us without a referral from your GP.<\/p><\/details>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"cta\">\n<div>\n<h2>Try it and experience it yourself<\/h2>\n<p>Call or WhatsApp us.
