What is
Winback TECAR therapy?
A cutting-edge technology that transforms the recovery experience with exceptional healing results.
By passing of a high frequency current into targeted tissue, Winback TECAR therapy stimulates the natural mechanisms of repair in the body. What sets Winback TECAR therapy apart is its versatility and precision. Our highly skilled therapists leverage this innovative therapy to target specific problem areas with pinpoint accuracy, ensuring maximum effectiveness and optimal results.
With customisable treatment plans tailored to your unique needs, treatment improves range of motion six times faster by transforming the natural resistance of the tissues into heat (Diathermy). This localised increase in heat forces revascularisation of restricted areas and frees up movement, accelerating healing (97% effective) by encouraging intra and extra cellular exchanges within the tissues.

What to expect from a Winback TECAR therapy session.
Our physiotherapist will take a thorough history of your complaint and examine the appropriate areas by movement tests and hands on assessment tools.
Used in combination with manual therapy techniques and a ‘hands-on’ approach to treatment; the Winback TECAR therapy energy is delivered for 10-20 mins. The principal sensation is that of a pleasant warmth. (Please note that you cannot have this treatment if you have sensory issues and are unable to feel heat on the skin).
Most people will feel an obvious improvement either in pain or range of motion after the treatment, which may last, or ease off after a few hours. Even though your symptoms may return, the energy will be having an effect and further improvement may be noted 48hrs later.
Your Physiotherapist will review the effect of the treatment a few days later and then agree a treatment plan depending on your response. Most people need a minimum of 2 or 3 sessions.
5 stars all round. Very helpful initial advice (including help with my private health insurance). The follow up calls for progress were much appreciated and the physios are very caring.

Eliminates Pain
Winback TECAR therapy eliminates pain by blocking pain related nerve impulses ensuring immediate pain relief for over 48 hrs.
Improves Range of Motion (6X faster)
Winback TECAR therapy improves range of motion 6x faster by transforming the natural resistance of the tissues into heat (Diathermy). This localised increase in heat forces revascularisation of restricted areas and frees up movement.
Accelerates healing (97% effective)
Winback TECAR therapy accelerates healing (97% effective) by encouraging intra and extra cellular exchanges within the tissues.
Winback TECAR therapy: Does not hurt and is a pleasant experience. It makes hands on treatment even more effective
There is a modest increase in your treatment costs which should be mitigated by a better patient experience and fewer treatments to achieve the same or better results.
1890: Discovery of the permeability of the cell membrane by a high frequency current from 100 KHz to 10 MHz by Dr Jacques Arsène d’Arsonal, a doctor, physicist and inventor.
1939: Work on diathermy for treatment using capacitive (CET) and resistive (RET) electrodes by Dr William Beaumont, an English doctor and physicist. He was the pioneer of the first pieces of Physiotherapy equipment using a frequency of approximately 500 KHz.
1950: The use of a high-frequency current in the surgical field in the form of electrosurgery/electrocautery. This led to the development of electrodes capable of being held and therefore more mobile.
1985: Development of high frequency current in the aesthetic medicine with electrode multipolar for action on the skin.
1995: In Italy scientists published the beneficial diathermic effect of TECAR – Transference of high frequency Electrical Capacitive And Resistive. They also developed procedures for its use in functional rehabilitation using non-invasive mobile electrodes.
2009: In France, protocols for the use of TECAR by Physiotherapists to stimulate healing in elite athletes were developed using the Italian research. The start of the development of the product Winback.
2013: Winback – released a new generation of high-performance equipment delivering more efficient, more dynamic mobile TECAR therapy device. Designed specifically for the needs and to complement the treatment by Physiotherapists.
2013 to present day: Winback continue to develop their high performance equipment. The 1st generation composed of a passive electrode and several types of active electrodes, offering a more efficient treatment when combined with manual therapy. Then came the use of the fixed electrode and the Flex Patch, allowing more movement during treatment so gaining the benefits of mobilisation and muscle strengthening. Now the 3rd generation enables the passage of the energy through the Physiotherapists hands whilst delivering manual techniques!
What a journey!
