TECAR Therapy – A Solution for Every Need

Our TECAR therapy treatments are customized to meet your specific health and recovery goals, whether you’re a professional athlete, post-operative patient, or dealing with chronic pain.

Rehabilitation & Pain Management

TECAR Therapy is highly effective for treating acute and chronic pain conditions, including:

Sports Performance & Injury Recovery

For athletes, TECAR Therapy enhances recovery and prevents injuries, allowing faster return to peak performance. It helps with:

  • Muscle Fatigue & Cramps – Post-game muscle relaxation.
  • Ligament & Tendon InjuriesACL rehab, sprains, and overuse injuries.
  • Performance Enhancement – Increased circulation and flexibility.

Women's Health & Aesthetics

TECAR Therapy extends beyond rehabilitation, offering advanced treatments for:

  • Postpartum Recovery – Abdominal muscle toning, pelvic floor strengthening.
  • Scar Treatment – C-section, mastectomy, and post-surgical scars.
  • Body Sculpting & Skin Tightening – Fat loss, cellulite reduction, and skin rejuvenation.

How TECAR Complements Our Other Services:

TECAR is designed to work alongside and amplify many of the manual and tool-assisted therapies we offer:

Myofascial Release / Trigger Point Therapy:

TECAR penetrates deeper tissue layers, speeding up fascial release and reducing post-treatment soreness.

Acupuncture / Dry Needling / Electro-Acupuncture:

TECAR enhances circulation and cellular repair, making it an excellent pairing for needle-based therapies.

Chiropractic Adjustments / Mulligan Techniques:

TECAR relaxes soft tissues pre-adjustment, potentially improving range of motion and adjustment outcomes.

Graston Technique / Shockwave Therapy:

TECAR accelerates post-treatment recovery, helping minimize soreness after instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization.

Mechanical Decompression:

TECAR improves circulation during decompression, supporting disc recovery.

Dry Cupping:

TECAR adds a deeper therapeutic effect by stimulating tissue repair and increasing blood flow.

PNF / MET Stretching:

Using TECAR while stretching can improve muscle extensibility and recovery.

Neuro Kinetic Therapy (NKT), SFMA, FMS:

TECAR enhances neuromuscular re-education by improving tissue quality and mobility during functional movement work.

Frequently Asked Questions

TECAR (Transfer of Energy Capacitive and Resistive) therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to stimulate the body’s natural healing process. It helps reduce pain, inflammation, and muscle tension while accelerating recovery. 

TECAR therapy delivers controlled radiofrequency energy deep into the tissues, creating a gentle heat that increases blood flow, stimulates cellular repair, and promotes tissue regeneration. It works on both superficial and deep layers of muscle, ligaments, and joints.

TECAR therapy is effective for a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, including:

  • Acute and chronic pain
  • Sports injuries
  • Tendonitis and bursitis
  • Muscle strains and sprains
  • Joint stiffness
  • Lower back and neck pain
  • Post-surgical recovery

No, TECAR therapy is not painful. Most patients experience a comfortable, warming sensation during the treatment. The intensity can be adjusted to ensure patient comfort throughout the session.

The number of sessions depends on the condition being treated and the patient’s response. Most patients see noticeable improvement after 4 to 8 sessions, though some acute conditions may require fewer treatments, while chronic issues may take longer.

TECAR therapy is a safe, non-invasive treatment with minimal risk. Some patients may experience mild redness or warmth in the treated area, but this typically resolves quickly. The treatment is not recommended for patients with pacemakers, pregnancy, or certain medical conditions—your practitioner will review any contraindications before treatment.

Yes, TECAR therapy can be applied from the first day post-surgery. It helps reduce swelling, improve circulation, and alleviate pain, accelerating the healing process.

There are no contraindications for using TECAR therapy on fractures. The treatment promotes healing by enhancing cellular exchange and stimulating blood circulation around the affected area.

TECAR therapy can be used before rehabilitation to reduce pain and stiffness. Additionally, it can be applied during movement exercises, using electrodes to facilitate mobility and improve joint function.

Yes, but with caution. It is essential to avoid excessive heat application to prevent worsening inflammation. A controlled approach with a cooling-down phase can help prevent any rebound pain.

TECAR therapy can be used for multiple sclerosis patients, but sessions should be short, localized, and performed with controlled intensity to minimize the risk of discomfort or symptom exacerbation.

TECAR therapy can be started early in the recovery process, helping to reduce pain, stimulate circulation, and enhance tissue healing, ensuring optimal recovery conditions.

Yes, TECAR therapy is commonly used to prepare athletes before activity by optimizing circulation and muscle function. It is also beneficial post-exercise for faster recovery and toxin elimination.

Yes, moderate exercise is possible after a session, provided the treatment was not too intense. However, overexertion should be avoided to prevent muscle overload.

Yes, there are no contraindications for using TECAR therapy in patients with an IUD since the treatment is based on radiofrequency energy, which does not interfere with the device.

TECAR therapy can be applied as early as the first week postpartum to reduce discomfort and promote tissue healing.

Yes, TECAR therapy can help by releasing muscle tension and providing pain relief in pelvic conditions. Non-invasive application with adhesive electrodes can facilitate relaxation and improve awareness of the affected area.

No, fibroids do not prevent the use of TECAR therapy. However, treatment intensity should be adjusted in cases of heavy bleeding.

Yes, TECAR therapy is widely used in sports medicine and is permitted under many professional regulations, including those outlined by international sports organizations. Always check specific competition guidelines if necessary.
