We are excited to introduce our newest tool to help us speed up recovery and better serve our clients at Return 2 Sport in collaboration with Swift Recovery. This new machine is called Human TECAR.

What is TECAR?

TECAR stands for Transfer of Energy, Capacitative and Resistive. It is a safe treatment utilizing radio-frequency energy in a circuit to directly affect the tissue targeted. One aspect of the treatment is targeted diathermy or heat treatment to stimulate blood flow in areas such as muscles and tendons at a cellular level. By stimulating the cells at a level of increasing movement of ions and electrolytes within the cell you get true energy production to stimulate healing.

How is it used?

A session of TECAR takes 15-20 minutes but is integrated into a session that already may include manual therapy and dry needling to improve pain. By using TECAR, we can heat up tissue and stimulate healing, and then amplify that with mobilization and activation through exercise and movement. For acute issues we can remove the heat component to work towards improved lymphatic drainage and still get the cellular processes sped up to stimulate healing.

Who will benefit?

Acute issues:
- Ankle sprains
- Muscle strains
- Joint irritation
Chronic issues:
- Tendonopathy (such as achilles, patellar, tennis elbow)
- Plantarfasciitis
- Frozen Shoulder
- Lower back pain
- Neck pain
- Old scar related pain or repairs such as ACL/MCL
