Tecar Therapy
What is WINBACK Therapy or Tecartherapy?
Tecar or “capacitive and resistive electrical transfer” works by generating a physiological activation within the body’s internal tissues through three reactions: Microcirculation, Vasodilatation and Temperature increase.
This activates the area being treated by:
- Increasing the cellular metabolic processes
- Stimulating the innate energy within biological tissues
- Activating the body’s natural repair and anti-inflammatory processes
WINBACK uses high frequency reciprocal current to enhance the body’s natural healing processes, improve blood flow and relieve pain through enhanced endorphin release. By specifying the frequency and type of electrode this technology targets the specific tissue injured, stimulating the tissue’s cell metabolism for repair.
When can we use the WINBACK system.
WINBACK energy / Tecar Current is used in combination with the therapists’ manual therapy techniques to decrease pain, improve range of motion and promote the body’s own natural healing, blood flow, and recovery processes. Tecar currents can also be used in specialized aesthetic treatments such as collagen-stimulating and skin tightening facials, body shaping and cellulite reduction.
Types of Conditions Treated include:
- musculoskeletal injuries (sprains, strains, tendonitis, bursitis, tears
- painful join diseases (rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis)
- neck and low back pain related to nerve irritation / disc herniation
- lymphatic drainage dysfunction
What are the benefits?
- Reduces recovery time by accelerating the body’s natural healing mechanisms
- Avoids the side effects of some drugs, such as anti-inflammatories and painkillers
Benefits for Runners
Treatment with Winback Tecar has the potential to improve running performance and prevent injuries. It harnesses the body’s natural healing and speeds up recovery.
Professional 400m sprinter LaShawn Merritt describes Tecar as “activating”, putting “life in” him and feeling “ready to go”.
Tecar Therapy combines both manual therapy and electrotherapy techniques to maximise microcirculation, blood flow and healing capacity.
WINBACK Therapy can be utilized while the client is performing an exercise, before or after sport in order to enhance the body’s performance ability or promote the body’s recovery. More than 70 professional and Olympic national teams worldwide are using this new technology!
