Tecar Therapy

Tecar Therapy (Capacitive and Resistive Energy Transfer) is a new technique that helps to remove pain and inflammations of joints, spinal column and muscles.

How it works

During Tecar Therapy a machine is connected to a metal plate that is passed on the treated area, generating a high-frequency magnetic field. Using the condensation principle, it improves vasodilation on the inflamed area favouring, therefore, blood flow and stimulating body's healing process. Heat is at the basis of this therapeutic treatment, that through the machinery is directly stimulated by the body.

Joints and muscle pathologies, chronic or acute pains, illnesses related to tendons and nerves: a lot of physical disorders can be treated with Tecar. In particular, the therapy is recommended in the case of:

• Injuries to ligaments, tendons and muscles
• Pulled muscles or strains
• Traumas such as joints' sprains or meniscus injuries
• Lumbago and sciatica
• Post-surgery rehabilitation

Benefits

The main benefit of Tecar is the acceleration of the body's regenerative processes, repairing cells and decreasing pain. The recovery time of any injury is surely faster when Tecar is involved. Thanks to this quality, the therapy is most frequently used by athletes, who need to recover the physical condition as quickly as possible. Usually, for the best result, are needed at least 5/10 sessions of 30 minutes length.

Therapy modes

With Tecar it's possible to work on the affected area in two different ways:

• Capacitive: used in the case of disorders of soft tissues, such as muscles, blood vessels and connective tissue
• Resistive: used when the problem is deeper, that is to say when bones, joints and cartilage are involved

Quite often capacitive and resistive modes are alternated for a better result.
