What is TECAR Therapy? TECAR stands for the spanish acronym Tranferencia Electica CApacitiva Resistiva, meaning Capacitive Resistive Electric Transference. It is a diathermy (i.e. deep tissue thermotherapy) therapeutic modality, therefore it uses increases in local body tissue temperature, in combination with subthermal application to promote the body's healing response. TECAR technology is non-ablative, non-invasive, using currents of high frequency, usually in the range between 300 KHz and 1 Mhz. It can work in two modes of energy transfer: Capacitive mode: affects tissues with higher electrolytic content (soft tissues and muscles) Resistive mode: affects tissues with higher resistance (joint, bone, tendon)
