TECAR Therapy Dubai

1.What is TECAR Therapy?

TECAR stands for Capacitive and Resistive Energy Transfer. The therapy uses an energy technology that promotes faster functional recovery. Delivered by your physiotherapist, it is a fast treatment with scientifically proven results.
The TECAR machine stimulates heat inside the body using a high-frequency current that provides an intensive repair stimulation at a cellular level. The machine is composed of electrode pads that provide the technology. The electromagnetic energy applied to the tissue helps repair inflammatory processes, which activate the body’s natural healing process and reduce pain.
Athletes love this innovative technology as it relieves specific trauma and can help with muscle problems and joint pain. It is used to treat disorders like sprains, bursitis, tendonitis, strains, muscular tears, and arthritic processes, to name just a few. In addition, stimulating the natural mechanism of muscle and joint self-repair means more invasive procedures can often be avoided in treatment plans.
Manual techniques performed by your physiotherapist at Fisio will also support the technology. TECAR therapy also stimulates fibroblasts to produce more collagen and elastin. This, in turn, leads to skin rejuvenation, tightening, and fat loss at a cellular level. The result? Your skin is plumper, and the overall look is improved.

2.Who is TECAR Therapy Recommended for?

Tecar therapy is specifically used to facilitate the rehabilitation of musculoskeletal and pain disorders, which include but are not limited to:

• Muscle spasms
• Lower back pain
• Joint pain
• Osteoarthritis
• Tendinopathy
• Acute inflammation and injury
• Post-surgical recovery
• Circulation and lymphatic issues

Tech therapy can also be highly beneficial for you if you are an athlete since it's shown to speed up muscle recovery after intense workouts. It also boosts your overall performance by reducing fatigue, treating muscle tightness, and reducing the risk of any type of sport injury that could happen otherwise.

3.Who Should Avoid TECAR Therapy?

While tech therapy is one of the safest and most effective treatments out there, there are situations where it may not be the best option for specific individuals. Those conditions include, but are not limited to:

• Pregnant Women: Due to the use of radio frequency energy and deep tissue stimulation, Tecar therapy can affect sensitive tissues and the fetus in pregnant women. You should always seek approval from a medical professional before undergoing the therapy if you’re pregnant.
• Individuals with Metal Implants: The radiofrequency used in Tecar could heat up any metal implants in the treatment area. This could potentially cause burns, and in some cases, even tissue damage.
• Cancer Patients: If you have active cancer, undergoing tech therapy can be dangerous for you as it can trigger or stimulate tumor growth, further worsening your condition.
  Patients with acute infections, fever, or open wounds: Tech therapy involves heat and energy transfer. This can aggravate infections and delay wound healing. If you are dealing with any of the aforementioned, you should wait until these conditions subside.
• Severe Neurological Disorders: People with severe neurological disorders like epilepsy or any other similar disease should also stay away from Tecar therapy until and unless advised otherwise by a specialist doctor.

The TECAR Therapy Session—What to Expect

TECAR therapy will be used in some cases in combination with your manual therapy sessions to achieve better recovery results. The treatment is painless with the pads applied to targeted areas based on your personal needs.
As a regular part of your physiotherapeutic treatment, here’s how your Tecar therapy protocol or sessions could look like depending on your needs:

• Initial Sessions: These are generally low-intensity sessions that last about 5-10 minutes per area at max. We recommend these for our clients who haven’t tried Tecar therapy before. The main goal here is to record how an individual’s body responds to the treatment. The treatment is carried out at least 2-3 times a week.
• Maintenance Sessions: If your body is already responding well to the treatment, we will recommend you undergo maintenance sessions, where we increase the overall intensity based on your tolerance level and treatment goals. The duration here could last up to 10-20 minutes per area at max, and the generally recommended treatment frequency could be 1-2 times a week based on your body response.
• Sessions for Chronic Conditions: These sessions are high intensity and could last up to 20-20 minutes per area, with ongoing treatment for several weeks for optimal results. The dosage per week would depend on the individual patient’s condition and the problems they are dealing with.
