What is Tecar therapy?
Tecar therapy was founded in Milan, has been around for 35 years and was originally designed for professional athletes. Its use is widespread across Europe within the rehabilitation field. In this country its prevalence is within professional sports teams and a small number of clinics nationwide.
Human Tecar uses low frequency radio currents to electromagnetically stimulate metabolism and microcirculation to accelerate healing of all soft tissue and bony tissue injuries. This is achieved by stimulating natural biological reactions to increase vascularisation and function whilst reducing pain.
Human Tecar therapeutic effects:
There are many beneficial effects of Tecar therapy which include:
Boosting cellular metabolism,
reducing pain (by decreasing sensitivity of nociceptors and utilises diathermy),
Increasing mobility,
aiding scar tissue healing,
increasing tissue temperature and more.
Tecar therapy is still very much a hands-on manual treatment and is used in rehabilitation to significantly reduce pain, oedema, inflammation, muscle spasms, hypertonicity and sarcopenia, while increasing pain free mobility and range of motion.
Acute injuries can benefit from accelerated healing. Plus scar tissue appearance and firmness are improved.
