Winback TECAR Therapy: A Cutting-Edge Approach to Pain Relief and Recovery
TECAR Therapy (Transfer of Energy Capacitive and Resistive) is revolutionizing physiotherapy, offering a highly effective and non-invasive method for pain management, improved mobility, and faster rehabilitation. By harnessing high-frequency electrical currents, this technology enhances blood flow, stimulates deep tissue repair, and accelerates healing. Whether you’re suffering from chronic pain, osteoarthritis, or recovering from injury, TECAR Therapy is an advanced treatment option with remarkable results.
What is TECAR Therapy?
TECAR Therapy uses radiofrequency energy to create endogenous heat within the treated area. Unlike traditional therapies, TECAR works internally, stimulating cellular activity, promoting blood circulation, and enhancing the body’s healing processes. The treatment alternates between two modes:
Capacitive Mode: Targets soft tissues with higher electrolyte content, such as muscles and ligaments.
Resistive Mode: Focuses on bones, tendons, and joints, addressing deeper, higher-resistance tissues.
How Does TECAR Therapy Work?
The therapy uses electrodes and conductive cream to deliver high-frequency electrical currents (300 KHz to 1 MHz) into the body. These currents cause thermal effects that increase vascularization, improve microcirculation, and boost cellular metabolism.
By promoting diathermy (deep tissue heating), TECAR Therapy facilitates neo-collagenesis, neo-vascularization, and the breakdown of scar tissue, offering significant improvement for a variety of pathologies.
Who Can Benefit from TECAR Therapy?
TECAR Therapy is ideal for individuals suffering from:
Chronic pain and joint pain (e.g., osteoarthritis)
Soft tissue injuries, sprains, and strains
Low back pain and neck pain
Post-operative recovery for edema and scar tissue reduction
Sports-related injuries (e.g., hamstring injuries)
Physiotherapy rehabilitation to restore mobility
Get the benefit of bodywork/Massage in less time and with more benefits. Decrease pain, Restore Mobility, Increase metabolism!
The modern way to create change in your tissue for pain relief, improved movement and speed up healing.
1/2 the time getting to deeper layers of fascia
Rehabilitation is 2x faster when combined with therapy techniques
Target one area using Tecar Therapy with Bodywork to get maximum benefit while saving you time.
Quickly warm up tissue to get to deeper layers and boost the healing process.
Increase intra and extracellular exchanges and a diathermic effect on your fascia!
Tecar Therapy eliminates pain and frees up movement to accelerate the rehabilitation process. Entirely non-invasive. 100% natural.
In biology, the tissue’s reaction to the passage of high frequency current is called diathermy.
Strong localised thermia, neo-vascularisation. Neo-collagenesis.
Vasodilation of vascular trunks. Increased arteriovenous and lymphatic circulation.
Micro circulation inceases. Better oxygenation, gentle and comfortable heat felt by patient.
No heat other than the slight thermal activity caused by the biological effect.
Tecar (Transfer of Energy Capacitive and Resistive) therapy is a method that stimulates the body by using radio waves, which allows the body to heal by creating heat inside of it. This method uses a combination of both diathermy and electrotherapy; however, it does not result in muscle contraction like other forms of electrotherapy. The nerve stimulation of tecar therapy eases inflammation, which results in the reduction of pain.
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.[1]
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: [2]
Capacitive mode: affects tissues with higher electrolytic content (soft tissues and muscles)
Resistive mode: affects tissues with higher resistance (joint, bone, tendon)
More effective treatments with TECAR current.
With a range of frequencies from 300 to 500KHz, BACK1 targets the deepest tissues (ligaments, bones, joints, tendons) to address all fields of treatment.
Key Effects of TECAR Therapy
1. Pain Relief
TECAR Therapy inhibits nociceptors, reducing the transmission of pain signals to the nervous system. This provides immediate and lasting relief, making it easier for physiotherapists and clinicians to implement manual therapy techniques more effectively.

2. Restored Movement
By increasing blood flow and raising the tissue’s temperature, TECAR Therapy reduces muscle tension and improves vascularization. Patients experience increased range of motion and restored mobility.

3. Boosted Metabolism
The therapy stimulates intra- and extracellular exchanges, enhancing blood circulation and lymphatic drainage. This helps remove toxins, reduce edema, and accelerate the healing of tissues.

Conditions Treated with TECAR Therapy
TECAR Therapy has proven effective in treating a variety of conditions, including:
Chronic pain (e.g., low back pain, cervical pain)
Soft tissue injuries (sprains, strains, and tears)
Osteoarthritis and joint dysfunction
Edema and post-surgical recovery
Sports injuries (e.g., hamstring and ligament injuries)
Pathologies involving soft tissue fibrosis
Benefits of TECAR Therapy
Fast Pain Relief: Reduces discomfort without side effects.
Improved Blood Circulation: Increases oxygen supply to the tissues, promoting healing.
Enhanced Mobility: Restores joint movement and tissue flexibility.
Accelerated Healing: Stimulates tissue regeneration and reduces recovery time.
Non-Invasive: Completely safe with minimal contraindications.
What to Expect During a TECAR Therapy Session
A session typically lasts 20-40 minutes. Your physiotherapist will apply conductive cream to the treated area and use an electrode to deliver the TECAR current. You’ll experience a gentle thermal effect, often described as soothing warmth, without discomfort.
The therapy integrates seamlessly into manual therapy or other treatment options, such as laser therapy or IASTM.
Clinical Practice and Evidence
TECAR Therapy is supported by clinical trials and systematic reviews demonstrating its effectiveness in:
Reducing pain and inflammation
Improving blood flow and tissue oxygenation
Promoting wound healing and reducing edema
It is widely used in physiotherapy clinics, chiropractic practices, and rehabilitation centers as a trusted modality for pain management and recovery.
Contraindications and Side Effects
While TECAR Therapy is generally safe, it should not be used on patients with:
Pacemakers or active implants
Untreated tumors or cancer
Acute infections or open wounds
Side effects are minimal, with patients occasionally reporting mild redness or warmth in the treated area.
A Revolutionary Approach to Healing
With its ability to treat chronic pain, improve blood circulation, and accelerate recovery, TECAR Therapy is transforming modern physiotherapy and rehabilitation. Whether you’re suffering from osteoarthritis, low back pain, or soft tissue injuries, TECAR Therapy offers a scientifically backed, effective solution to restore your health and mobility.
