What is Tecar Therapy Machine?
TECAR therapy as a system of Capacitive and Resistive electric transfer, which is one of
the methods used in diathermy, was developed as a form of deep thermotherapy, delivers
radiofrequency (RF) energy, which passes between active electrode and inactive
electrode, and generates heat in the human body
The tecar therapy, started in Spain in the late 90’s and successively widespread in Italy,
represents an ideal instrumental therapy for the pain reduction since first sessions. Indeed
the tecar therapy uses the condenser effect to generate a high-frequency magnetic field
permitting to accelerate the cells repairing processes, acting on the membrane potential
and so contributing to an outstanding reduction of rehabilitation times.
Advantages for patients.
1) Faster functional recovery. (The beneficial effects are apparent after just a few sessions
and improvements can be observed even 24 hours after treatment)
2) Treatment is painless and relaxing
3) Treatments are safe and have high therapeutic efficacy.
4) Promotes a sense of well-being, predisposing the subject towards post-treatment
physical activity.
5) Faster rehabilitation.
Fascia is a three-dimensional network of connective tissues, consisting of ground
substance and free cells, which covers deep tissues and separates different tissue layers.
Fascia also surrounds muscles or their structure.
Due to its complex structure in the form of a continuous matrix that connects all the
structures of the musculoskeletal system, fascia is involved in most pathologies.
Understanding the anatomy and therapeutic approach of Fascia can be a fundamental
working technique for a physiotherapist;
EFFECTS :
- It strengthens the three-dimensional structure of connective tissues the basic
- substrate of fascia
- It additionally improves tissue elasticity
- Increases cell metabolism and tissue regeneration
Improves venous and lymphatic reabsorption
- Facilitates the physical work of physiotherapists
- Increases the effectiveness of professional treatments
- It focuses exactly on the tanged area
