Tecar therapy

In Capacitive mode, the higher frequency current mainly flows through the capacitive parts of the human body (muscles, etc). The Capacitive mode concentrates the energy mainly on the soft tissues such as muscles and areas with high liquid content.

In Resistive mode, the lower frequency current flows through the resistive parts of the body (bones, ligaments, important tendons etc.). The resistive mode concentrates the energy mainly on the hard tissues, such as joints, ligaments, tendons and bones.

Tecar Therapy in the Treatment of Acute and Chronic Pathologies in Sports

This study utilized Tecar therapy, a capacitive and/or resistive energy transfer system that operates within the long wave radio frequency range in the treatment of acute and chronic musculo-articular pathology in athletes. Tecar therapy is characterized by the transfer of energy within tissues by using a capacitive electrode covered by an insulator and a resistive electrode conductor, following the mechanism of a condenser.
