What is TECAR Therapy?
TECAR stands for the spanish acronym Tranferencia Electica CApacitiva Resistiva, meaning Capacitive
Resistive Electric Transference. It is a diathermy (i.e. deep tissue thermotherapy) therapeutic modality,
therefore it uses increases in local body tissue temperature, in combination with subthermal application
to promote the body's healing response.
TECAR technology is non-ablative, non-invasive, using currents of high frequency, usually in the range
between 300 KHz and 1 Mhz. It can work in two modes of energy transfer:
Capacitive mode: affects tissues with higher electrolytic content (soft tissues and muscles)
Resistive mode: affects tissues with higher resistance (joint, bone, tendon)
Common uses in physiotherapy
TECAR's main use in physiotherapy relates to the rehabilitation of musculoskeletal and
pain disorders, and sport rehabilitation. [1]Some commonly treated conditions are:
Acute or chronic injuries / inflammation
Muscle spasms
Joint pain
Synovitis
Tendinopathy
Post-surgical
Osteoarthritis
Low back pain
There are also other areas that TECAR uses have been expanded such as pelvic health,
physio-aesthetics, and veterinary rehabilitation.
1. What is Tecar Therapy?
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:
