Physiotherapist Björn Reindl (M.o.C Swe; osteopath and lecturer in DOSB sports physiotherapy), managing director of R2comsport in Neu-Isenburg, has written an excellent report on microcurrent therapy in combination with LED light therapy. This report appeared in the *Sportärztezeitung* 01/20.

Björn Reindl describes microcurrent therapy from the perspective of physiotherapy and sports physiotherapy. As a long-standing physiotherapist for Eintracht Frankfurt, he has a wealth of experience in treating sports injuries. In his practice, he utilises microcurrent therapy and LED light therapy alongside other treatments. (Reindl, 2020)

Microcurrent therapy offers doctors and therapists the advantage of being able to integrate it as a regulatory component within treatment plans. Through feedback-controlled procedures, metabolic processes in the tissue can be measured and regulated using microcurrent therapy. From a clinical perspective, this leads to improved function and reduced pain. (Voracek, 2012, p. 367)

“It is, however, more beneficial to view most orthopaedic conditions within the context of structure, function and metabolism (including immunology) and to address them therapeutically in this way.” (Voracek, 2012, p. 366)

As part of regulatory medicine, Björn Reindl describes microcurrent and LED light therapy on a scientifically sound basis; with his article in the *Sportärztezeitung*, he thus provides a good overview even for those who have had little or no previous exposure to this form of therapy.
