What is tecar therapy?

In the field of motor rehabilitation and physiotherapy, tecar therapy is a solution that uses a difference in energy potential and is adopted by many physiotherapists. It basically consists of an energetic activation of the body of the subject. The innovation of this approach is however given a substantial difference: while in other therapies the energy is transferred to the patient from the outside, during the tecar therapy energy is stimulated directly from the inside of the muscular tissue. Usually it is never a question of a single session but of a path to start with the therapist, often associated with the suggestion of performing some isometric exercises and muscular training.

The ultimate goal is to activate the natural anti-inflammatory and reparative processes that our body predisposes. This allows to considerably reduce the pain threshold in the subject, as well as to accelerate the recovery time of the rehabilitation phase.

Electrical charges are present that are present in the form of ions, within the tissues. The stimulation that comes from it works at the cellular level, reactivating the blood circulation and considerably raising the level of body temperature.

The physiological recovery mechanisms are thus immediately triggered. The positive flow of energy generated helps to repair the lesions or cleanses from problems related to inflammation or spills that may be after a trauma or incorrect postural habits.
