Frequency Specific Microcurrent: The Therapy You Haven’t Heard of (But Wish You Had Sooner)
Imagine if your body had a secret language—one that spoke in gentle, barely detectable electrical whispers. Now imagine if we could tap into that language to help you heal faster, reduce pain, and recover from injuries that just won’t quit.
Welcome to Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM)—a cutting-edge therapy that’s been quietly changing the game for pain relief, injury recovery, and even nervous system regulation.
FSM is approved for the treatment of pain and inflammation, but many practitioners and patients have also observed benefits like improved nervous system regulation, deeper relaxation, and better overall recovery. Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, an injury that won’t heal, or just want to feel like your body is actually cooperating with you, FSM might be the missing piece.
So, What is Frequency Specific Microcurrent?
At its core, FSM is a therapy that uses gentle, targeted electrical currents—so small you can’t even feel them—to support healing at the cellular level. Think of your body like a complex, high-tech machine. When certain parts aren’t working properly due to injury or inflammation, FSM helps restore communication and efficiency, like rebooting a sluggish computer.
The microcurrents mimic your body’s natural electrical signals, encouraging tissue repair, reducing inflammation, and relieving pain. But the real magic is in the specificity: different frequencies target different tissues (muscles, nerves, fascia, even scar tissue), making the treatment highly adaptable for each person’s needs.
How Does It Work?
Your body already uses tiny electrical signals to send messages, trigger repairs, and keep everything running smoothly. When pain, injury, or chronic inflammation disrupts those signals, FSM helps restore balance by delivering ultra-low electrical currents at precise frequencies.
Unlike standard electrical stimulation (which is more like a loudspeaker blasting one general message), FSM delivers specific instructions to specific tissues, encouraging them to function better. This allows us to target areas like:
✅ Nerves (reducing pain and restoring sensation)
✅ Muscles and fascia (relaxing tension and speeding up healing)
✅ Inflammation pathways (helping to calm overactive pain signals)
✅ Scar tissue and adhesions (improving mobility and function)
Many people notice results quickly—sometimes within minutes—and the effects can last from hours to days, with longer-lasting, cumulative improvements over multiple treatments. And since the current is so low, it’s completely painless—no zaps or jolts like other electrical therapies
Who Can Benefit from FSM?
Whether you’re an athlete dealing with stubborn injuries, someone struggling with chronic pain, or even recovering from surgery, FSM can be a game-changer. It’s especially helpful for:
- Fibromyalgia and other chronic pain syndromes
- Post-surgical healing (reducing swelling and scar tissue formation)
- Inflammation-driven issues (tendonitis, sprains, many low back conditions)
- TMJ dysfunction (jaw pain, headaches, and tension relief)
- Sports injuries (speeding up recovery and reducing downtime)
- Peripheral neuropathy (numbness, tingling, and nerve pain relief)
Whether you’re dealing with persistent pain or an injury that just won’t heal, FSM supports your body’s natural repair processes—without drugs, invasive procedures, or any additional downtime. More than just symptom relief, FSM works at the cellular level to restore function and promote real, lasting improvements.
What’s a Session Like?
An FSM session is as relaxing as it gets. Once you’re set up, the machine does the work while you sit back and unwind. Some people even nap during treatment—yes, it’s that comfortable.
FSM treatments at Life Moves Manual Therapies are customized to your needs, and we offer multiple ways to integrate microcurrent into your care.
Assisted Microcurrent Sessions
Most new FSM patients start with an Assisted Microcurrent Session, where we monitor how your body responds to different frequency pairings. This hands-on approach allows us to fine-tune the treatment for the best results. If you’ve had surgery or need targeted rehabilitation, we can also combine FSM with controlled movement through various ranges of motion—helping tissues heal properly and regain function. In fact, some post-surgical FSM treatments remain assisted for all sessions to ensure optimal recovery.
Unassisted FSM Sessions
Once we’ve identified the frequencies that work best for you, we may be able to create a personalized FSM program. This allows you to come in for Unassisted FSM follow-up sessions at half the cost while still receiving the same targeted pain and inflammation relief.
FSM Add-Ons & Rentals
- Massage + FSM: If a unit is available, you can request FSM to be integrated into your massage session for enhanced recovery.
- Home FSM Rentals: Want more frequent treatments? We offer weekly FSM rentals, a great option for managing pain and inflammation between visits—especially during recovery from injury or surgery.
Regardless of how it’s used, FSM is completely painless and deeply relaxing, making it a great addition to any recovery plan.
Is FSM Safe?
Yes! Frequency-Specific Microcurrent (FSM) is a low-risk, non-invasive therapy that works at a cellular level to reduce pain and inflammation. Most people don’t even feel the microcurrent, as it operates at a level below sensory perception.
That said, there are a few important safety considerations:
- Hydration Matters – FSM works best when you’re well-hydrated, as microcurrent relies on water content in the body to conduct signals effectively.
- Contraindications – FSM is not recommended for individuals with pacemakers, implanted defibrillators, or active cancer. If you’re pregnant, FSM should only be used under medical guidance.
- Skin Sensitivity – While uncommon, some people experience mild skin irritation from electrode pads or wet towels used during treatment. Let us know if you have any concerns!
