The credit for radiowave therapy must go to Dr John Holt, who innovated two forms of radiowave therapy prior to his retirement in 2004. These two modalities (refer below) form the basis of comprehensive research currently being conducted by the Radiowave Therapy Research Institute:
Both modalities use radiowaves, which is energy in the radiofrequency (RF) spectrum. Dr Holt proposed that both modalities are effective at the specific frequency of 434 MHz (megahertz) in the UHF (ultra-high frequency) band. Radiowave therapy is not a microwave treatment and nor is any therapeutic affect hypothermic.
Dr Holt has treated thousands of patients over a period of 30 years.
The radiowave therapy currently provided by the Clinic is the GMI/UHF modality. It is a long term aim of the Clinic to provide both the above treatment modalities, however the UHF/XRT treatment is contingent upon outcomes of research currently being conducted by the Radiowave Therapy Research Institute.

1. Note the distinction between radiowave therapy using non-ionising, radiofrequency radiation and radiotherapy using x-rays or γ-rays (ionizing radiation). Both terms come from the Latin, radius meaning ray.
