TECAR THERAPY IN SPORT
Injuries, preparation and recovery with Winback
In short
- Winback applies TECAR to muscle and ligament injuries, sprains, tendinopathies, muscle spasms, low back pain, periostitis and plantar fasciitis.
- It is also used in athlete preparation and recovery, as muscle relaxation and support for delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS).
- It can be combined with manual techniques and active exercise in the same treatment.
For which athletes?
Winback is intended for athletes of every level, from amateurs to elite. According to the brand, its devices are part of the work of the medical teams of more than 500 sports teams and federations.
Post-traumatic injuries and overtraining
Indications named by Winback in sport: muscle and ligament injuries, sprains, tendinopathies, muscle spasms, low back pain, periostitis and plantar fasciitis. In traumatology, TECAR makes it possible to start treatment early, supporting the restructuring of injured tissue and inflammation control, always under clinical judgement.
Preparation and recovery
Before exertion, TECAR can be used to relax muscle and stimulate blood supply. Afterwards it supports recovery from tense muscles and delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). Winback also highlights its use in injury prevention programmes, combined with muscle strengthening.
Soft tissue management with manual techniques
The devices allow work with electrodes in the therapist's hands, in hands-free mode, with bracelets (worn by the therapist or the athlete) or with the fascia tool. Winback energy thus adds to the effectiveness of massage and manual mobilisation.
Exercise-based rehabilitation
With a wide range of electrodes, active rehabilitation techniques are compatible with TECAR: the athlete can perform exercises while receiving treatment.
Which device to choose?
BACK4 combines TECAR, Hi-EMS and Hi-TENS with over 200 W and treats three areas at once. BACK3 TX is the all-in-one solution. BACK1 weighs 4 kg and is easy to carry, and Hi-TENS by R-SHOCK (1.2 kg, battery-powered) goes with the therapist to the pitch or the hall. For compression recovery, see GMOVE-SUIT pressotherapy.
