What is TECAR Therapy?
TECAR© stands for the spanish acronym Tranferencia Electica CApacitiva Resistiva, meaning Capacitive Resistive Electric Transference. It is a diathermy (i.e. deep tissue thermotherapy) therapeutic therapy, therefore it uses increases in local body tissue temperature, in combination with subthermal application to promote the body’s natural healing response and improve tissue perfusion.
TECAR© technology works with two modes of energy transfer to non-invasively stimulate the body’s natural repair mechanisms, promote cellular exchange, increase microcirculation, vascularization and lymphatic drainage.
What are the Results With TECAR Therapy?
The unique combination of TECAR therapy & manual therapy treatments offers great results and a faster recovery of injured tissue. Research has shown that with the use of TECAR in recovery from injury to be at least 2X faster than with manual therapy alone, with improved healing to also prevent re-injury.
TECAR therapy has been shown to improve recovery in acute, chronic and re-occurring pain and injuries especially combined with other manual and rehabilitaton techniques.
What Does The Evidence Show?
The clinical evidence supporting Tecar therapy is based on the frequencies and their correlation with the permeabilization of cell membranes. This permeabilization encourages intra and extra-cellular activity which accelerates the natural regeneration in the biological tissue. The low level of energy ensures it is non-invasive and 100% natural for the human body.
In 2013 the Winback team developed physiotherapy protocols using a new generation of devices that were more intuitive, adaptable, and more effective – Winback energy was born
