European-developed deep tissue therapy for faster recovery and pain relief — included in your consultation at no extra charge.
TECAR therapy uses high-frequency electromagnetic energy to stimulate deep tissue healing. It delivers gentle, controlled warmth that improves circulation, oxygenation and cellular repair — a European innovation trusted by elite sports and rehabilitation clinics worldwide.
Transfer of Energy Capacitive and Resistive. Capacitive electrodes target soft tissue that holds more water — skin, muscle, veins and the lymphatic system. Resistive electrodes reach deeper: muscle, joints, tendons, ligaments, cartilage and bone.
Unlike traditional electrotherapy, TECAR works without causing muscle contraction. It can run at high power without overheating the body, and in pulsed mode — short bursts with pauses — the body releases excess heat, which makes it safe even on recent injuries. Treatment can start as early as 48 hours after an injury.
Your physiotherapist applies a conductive cream and moves a hand-held device over the skin. You feel a pleasant, gentle warmth as the energy works into the tissue. They will ask you to rate the warmth as they go — that is how the intensity stays both safe and effective. An automatic scanning mode shifts between frequencies so your tissue does not adapt to one setting.
It works alongside manual therapy and exercise rather than replacing them.

No. TECAR is included in your consultation at no additional charge — it is part of how we treat, not an upsell. Every current fee is on the pricing page.
Yes. It is non-invasive and well tolerated, and most people find it comfortable and relaxing. Where higher temperatures are used, especially on sensitive skin, temporary redness or mild tingling can occur; your physiotherapist adjusts the settings to your comfort.
As early as 48 hours. In pulsed mode the energy comes in short bursts with pauses, so the body releases excess heat — which is what makes it safe on a recent injury, unlike ordinary heat therapy.
Blood flow to the area increases, bringing oxygen and white blood cells that repair tissue and clear excess fluid. A gentle warmth and muscle relaxation around the treated area afterwards is normal and a good sign.
