What Is TECAR Therapy?
TECAR is a professional physiotherapy technology based on controlled radiofrequency energy transfer. Systems commonly provide capacitive and resistive application modes, which differ in electrode structure and energy-distribution characteristics.
Capacitive and resistive modes
Capacitive application typically uses an insulated electrode, while resistive application uses a different electrode configuration. Device parameters and application technique vary by system and clinical protocol.
What should be considered when choosing a TECAR device?
- Operating frequency and power control
- Capacitive and resistive electrode options
- Applicator ergonomics
- Manual and guided protocol controls
- Feedback and safety functions
- Accessory range
- Training and technical service
Because the practitioner may actively manipulate electrodes during a session, handpiece weight, cable mobility and ease of changing applicators can influence daily usability.
TECAR should be integrated into rehabilitation only after clinical assessment. Device protocols do not replace professional decision-making.
