How long does a Winback therapy session last?
Treatments can last from 5 to 60 minutes. Treatment time depends on several factors:
whether it is acute or chronic; whether it is combined with other therapies; whether it is a
localized or more general treatment. curative or preventive and maintenance treatment.
The therapist will be able to determine the duration of treatment based on his or her
diagnosis and the training provided by the Winback Academy.
Are there any side effects of tecartherapy?
Winback is non-invasive and physiologically sound. However, in very inflammatory cases
and when very high temperatures are reached, the patient may experience slight fatigue
or a slight increase in pain in the hours following treatment. This is the rebound effect,
well known to therapists. Our protocols and training courses will help you learn how to
avoid this small inconvenience.
TECAR therapy
The term TECAR is an acronym for Capacitive and Resistive Energy Transfer. The use of TECAR technology
is of major importance in rehabilitation therapies since it reduces pain, stimulates venous drainage in the
lymphatic system, significantly reduces both muscular and back pain. In general, TECAR is used to treat
disorders such as sprains, tendonitis, bursitis, osteoarticular distractions, chronic arthralgias, contractures,
strains and muscular tears, myositis, pathologies of joint capsules, arthritic processes, lumbago and sciatica.
Therapy is widely useful for treating all types of sports injuries. The TECAR method represents a technological
innovation in the field of energy transfer in the diseased parts of the organism. From the other treatments
that use the electromagnetic waves (ex. the ultrasound and the laser) the TECAR method is differentiated
by the typology of the transmission of energy. In fact, TECAR therapy is not based on the induction of
heat "from the outside", but rather on the stimulation of ionic charges naturally present in our muscular tissues
through the application of particular electrodes. This involves a process of intensive stimulation of the tissues
at the cellular level, which activate the blood circulation inducing an increase in temperature that accelerates
a natural physiological reaction. TECAR therefore does not make use of the electric transmission from the
outside, but involves the exchange of the electrolytes already present in the organism at the cellular level,
with the aim of reactivating the circulation. Therefore, the process induces an increase in temperature in
tissues that triggers the natural reaction of the organism, which is essential for the restoration of a
considerable number of muscle and joint damage. This happens thanks to the combination of two
mechanisms: increase of temperature in the deeper tissues and increase of the energy potential of cell membranes.
These properties turn INDIBA into a vital technology for:
Tissue regeneration
Fat deposit control
Cellulite improvement
Pre and post surgery treatment
Wound healing
INDIBA
INDIBA ACTIVE
The PROIONIC 448 kHz System.
Indiba is an innovative, groundbreaking device that operates on a constant radio frequency of 448 KHz.
Indications for INDIBA treatment within pelvic physiotherapy
scars (after cesarean section but also in case of a persistently painful vaginal cut during childbirth)
overactive pelvic floor
persistent tailbone pain
abdominal pain - groin pain
The INDIBA should not be used during pregnancy and in patients wearing pacemakers for heart disease
The cellular therapy of INDIBA activ is based on the Proionic system. The unique and patented
Proionic system activates intra- and extracellular ion movement, increases membrane permeability
and cellular metabolism. Restarting cellular exchanges and restoring the electrical balance improve
the natural processes of wound healing and tissue regeneration.
EFFECTS OF TECAR THERAPY
reduces pain
improves superficial and deep blood circulation
improves tissue regeneration
stimulates venous and lymphatic drainage
affects the restoration of metabolic balance activity
What is tecar therapy?
Diathermy, better known as Tecar therapy (an acronym for Capacitive and Resistive Energy Transfer), is
a therapeutic technique that uses an electric current with frequencies in the MF (Medium Frequencies) radio
band. It transfers energy in depth, through the tissues of the human body, triggering a biostimulating effect.
This is a therapy that is carried out in a medical practice, usually by a physiotherapist, on patients with a
variety of pathologies, requiring rehabilitation, sports and also aesthetic treatment.
The very first applications of diathermy, limited to the development of endogenous heat, date back to 1939,
when William Beaumont developed the first instrument capable of generating heat endogenously, thus coining
the term “diathermy”. The name has Greek origins, literally meaning “heat through”.
Tecar therapy specifically, and diathermy in its broadest and technically correct sense, was patented in 1995.
This year represents a milestone in the study and application of this technique in the therapeutic field.
Tecar therapy: how it works
The physical principle on which diathermy is based is that of the capacitor.
The capacitor consists of two conductive armatures separated by an insulator and connected to an electric
generator that creates a potential difference between the two plates.
This causes electrical charges to attract and repel each other concentrating near the two elements ,
increasing the density of positive charge in one plate and negative charge in the other.
In the case of a diathermy device, the armatures are represented by the handpiece (capacitive or resistive)
and the return plate, while high-strength body tissue constitutes the insulation.
The current generator works in the long-wave radio frequency range and with a variable power in W.
In this way, there is no emission of external energy, but only a development of endogenous or internal energy
at the level of the biological tissue, produced by the movement of ions and electrolytes, induced by the forces
of attraction and repulsion generated between the two capacitor plates.
The ability to generate a current flow through an insulator, and to exploit tissues as focal elements of the
therapeutic effect, is a differentiating feature of tecar therapy when compared with other techniques. Diathermy,
in fact, is also extremely effective in depth, where other exogenous instrumental physical therapies lose
their effectiveness.
Treatment modes: differences between capacitive and resistive
Diathermy has two different treatment techniques:
• Resistive technique. In this mode, the concentration of charges, and thus the biological effect, occurs
in the tissues with the highest resistance, which are interposed between the mobile electrode and the return plate.
Resistive contact transfer occurs by means of a non-isolated electrode that mobilises the charges so
that they are concentrated in the areas of greatest depth and resistivity, i.e. in tissues such as bone,
cartilage, tendons and deep muscles.
• Capacitive technique. With this mode, there will be an increase in charge density near the area
below the mobile electrode and especially at the level of the superficial soft tissues (vascular and
lymphatic circulatory system, adipose tissue and superficial muscles). Capacitive contact transfer
is performed through an electrode treated with an insulating coating that mobilises ionic charges
in the subcutaneous tissue.
