Tecar Therapy in Lugano
Goals and benefits
What is Tecar Therapy and How It Works
Tecar Therapy (Capacitive and Resistive Energy Transfer) is an electromedical treatment that uses radiofrequencies to generate endogenous heat, meaning from within the body. This heat activates the body’s natural healing processes, improving microcirculation, stimulating tissue regeneration, and reducing inflammation. There are two modes:
Capacitive, indicated for muscles and soft tissues;
Resistive, more suitable for deep structures such as joints, tendons, and bones.
The energy is transmitted through special handpieces and regulated based on the area to be treated and the therapeutic goals.
Use Cases
When Tecar Therapy is indicated
Tecar Therapy is often prescribed as an integral part of a physiotherapy program. It is particularly indicated for:
muscle and tendon inflammations (e.g., tendinitis, epicondylitis);
sprains, contractures, and muscle tears;
low back pain and neck pain;
osteoarthritis and chronic joint pain;
post-surgical or post-traumatic recovery;
edemas and lymphedemas.
It can be used both in the acute phase (to reduce pain and inflammation) and in the chronic phase (to improve elasticity and stimulate regeneration).
How a Session Works
Initial Assessment
Each treatment is preceded by a physiotherapy assessment to accurately define the treatment plan. During the session, the patient lies down in a comfortable position, and the therapist applies the handpiece to the areas to be treated.
Individualized Treatment
The session lasts an average of 20-30 minutes, is completely painless, and is often perceived as pleasant thanks to the sensation of deep warmth. A full cycle generally includes 5 to 10 sessions, held on a regular basis, often 2-3 times a week. The first benefits are often noticeable after just the first few sessions.
Tangible Benefits
The Advantages
Tecar Therapy is a safe, non-invasive, and well-tolerated technique. Its main advantages include:

improved local circulation;
natural stimulation of self-healing processes;

It can be integrated with physiotherapy exercises, massage therapy, or other manual treatments to enhance its effects.
