European-developed advanced physiotherapy for faster recovery, pain relief, and long-term healing.
At Forge West End Physiotherapy, we offer state-of-the-art TECAR Therapy in Brisbane – a European innovation that accelerates natural tissue repair, reduces pain, and enhances mobility for acute and chronic conditions.
Our experienced physiotherapists integrate TECAR Therapy with manual treatment and exercise-based rehabilitation to deliver lasting results.
TECAR (Transfer of Energy Capacitive and Resistive) therapy uses high-frequency electromagnetic energy to stimulate deep tissue healing.
It delivers gentle, controlled warmth, improving circulation, oxygenation, and cellular repair.
Originating in Europe, TECAR Therapy is trusted by elite sports and rehabilitation clinics worldwide.
At Forge West End, TECAR Therapy promotes your body’s natural healing by gently warming deep tissues and boosting blood flow to the injured area.
This improved circulation helps flush out inflammation, relieve pain, and deliver oxygen and healing cells for quicker recovery.
Unlike traditional electrotherapy, TECAR Therapy works without causing muscle contractions — creating a soothing, deep warmth that supports effective, non-invasive healing.
When we use capacitive electrodes, the treatment mainly targets soft tissues — areas in your body that hold more water, such as skin, muscles, veins, and the lymphatic system.
When we use resistive electrodes, the treatment focuses on deeper tissues like muscles, joints, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and bones.
TECAR therapy can work at a high power level without overheating the body.
Like traditional heat therapy, it can be used in a pulsed mode, where the energy is delivered in short bursts with pauses in between. This allows your body to release excess heat, making it safe even for recent or acute injuries. It also helps reduce pain and swelling while supporting the body’s natural healing process.
TECAR therapy can reach deep layers of your tissue and is easily adjusted to suit your body and treatment area.
During a session, our physiotherapists can change how deeply and widely the energy works using an automatic scanning mode. The device automatically switches between different frequencies, which helps keep each treatment effective — your body doesn’t get used to just one setting.
TECAR therapy is commonly used in physiotherapy, rehabilitation, and pain management to support healing and recovery in a wide range of conditions, including:
All of our physiotherapists are fully trained and certified in the safe and effective use of TECAR Therapy ensuring each treatment is delivered with precision and clinical expertise.
Your physiotherapist will apply a special conductive cream to the area being treated and move a hand-held device over your skin.
You’ll feel a pleasant, gentle warmth as the energy works deep into your tissues, improving blood flow, stimulating the lymphatic system, and helping your body release tension and heal faster.
During the session, your therapist may ask you to rate the warmth you feel — this helps ensure the treatment is both safe and effective for you.
After your TECAR therapy session, your body naturally begins its healing process.
The treatment increases blood flow to the injured area, bringing more oxygen and white blood cells that help repair tissue and remove excess fluid. This supports faster recovery and reduces swelling.
You may also feel a gentle warmth and muscle relaxation around the treated area after the session — this is a normal and positive response.
TECAR Therapy activates your body’s natural healing process, targeting the cause of pain and helping tissues repair rather than simply masking symptoms.
The therapy can also help to:
TECAR Therapy is completely safe, non-invasive, and well-tolerated by the body. Most patients find the treatment comfortable and relaxing. In some cases, when higher temperatures are used – especially for those with sensitive skin – temporary redness or mild tingling may occur. Your physiotherapist will discuss this with you and adjust the settings to ensure your comfort.
