WINback

What is WINback?

Radio frequency or diathermy is not a new therapy in fact it has existed for almost a century. Winback TECAR, stands for Transfer of Energy Capacitive and Resistive. What the heck does that even mean. What it means for you is that it provides a deep penetrating heat to BOTH soft, water dense tissues like skin, muscle etc AND harder less water dense tissues like tendon, ligament and bone. Winback is different in that it allows for multiple applications of TECAR to affect change in your body.

Faster Recovery, Faster Healing

TECAR causes vasodilation, which increases blood flow, that is the deep heat you will feel. That increase in blood flow increases the oxygenation of the tissues, which has been shown to speed healing.

What will it be like for you

On the whole the service will feel like a deep warmth. Like hot stone massage on steroids. But Winback uses a Monopolar current which means it needs a return plate to close the circuit. So in most cases you will be lying on the return plate (there are other possibilities but this is most common) and then there will be an applicator attachment that I will be holding or wearing to do your treatment.

Winback CAN be 100% used in conjunction with my table massage, but depending on what your current complaint is, I may need to do something less 'traditional massage' and more mobility/movement related. As always your treatments are custom to your needs that day.

Deeper Faster and More Gently

Part of why I like TECAR is that it allows me to work deeper faster and with less effort. The machine warms the tissues like a hot knife through butter. As the massage therapist I do not have to spend as much time manually warming the tissue to get the healing blood flowing, I can get straight down to the deep work. For you this means your whole massage can be less painful and overall more effective.

Safe and Effective

TECAR is safe for almost everyone, it is Contraindicated for persons that are pregnant, with a pacemaker or diabetic monitors and those with cancer. But other than those three groups it is safe and effective. TECAR only works on living tissues so the pins, screws, plates and rods you have implanted will be just fine.
