High-tech physiotherapy

TECAR THERAPY

An innovative device-driven methodology with clinically-proven effectiveness in the treatment and prophylaxis of traumas and post-traumatic conditions, diseases of the nervous system, the muscular skeletal locomotory system, the bones and joints system and the sinews and ligaments system. Thanks to the high-frequency electromagnetic energy, the Tecar Therapy generates endogenous warmth in the tissues at the cell level, which rapidly reduces the pain, improves the trophics (nutrition of the tissues), accelerates the recuperation after traumas and surgical interventions. It relaxes the muscles, facilitates the treatment process, improves the blood circulation, the lymph drainage and the flexibility of the joints. It significantly reduces the recuperation period by boosting the activation of the biological healing processes in the body.

HIGH-ENERGY LASER THERAPY

Treatment with the power of light. The high-energy laser ensures multi-faceted in-depth therapy: the light absorbed by the tissues impacts the receptors and limits the pain, boosts the generation of endorphins and locally facilitates the recuperation processes of the affected areas of the body. As a supplement to the analgesic effect, the bio stimulation achieves rapid regeneration of the tissues. The high-energy laser therapy is suitable for treatment of the muscular-skeletal locomotory system (back pain, neck pain, waist pain), traumas of the joints and tissues (injuries, sprainings, joint dislocations, traumatic over-extensions, hematomas), lateral and medial epicondylitis (tennis and golf elbow), neuralgias, neuritis, cutaneous disease, etc. The last generation laser makes the therapy more adaptive to the needs of the patient. A unique method which is simultaneously effective and safe. The selective modulation of energy allows for treatment of various conditions of the muscular-skeletal locomotory system. Through stimulation of the recuperative processes in the body, the high-energy laser can be used for reducing the pain from disc hernia, inflammations of the muscles and joints, trigger points, injuries and contractions of the muscles.

DEEP OSCILLATION THERAPY

Impact on the muscles through deep tissue vibration. The electrostatic fields generate effective oscillations which penetrate deep into the connective tissues, the muscles, the blood and lymph vessels, the sub-cutaneous fat. Extremely pleasant high-efficiency method for quick relief of the pain, reducing the swelling of the soft tissues, tackling a number of aesthetic issues, facilitating the rehabilitation after plastic surgery and laser pealing. Chronic conditions can also be impacted effectively by this therapy. In contrast to other therapies, the deep oscillation is non-invasive and non-traumatic medical method applicable at a very early stage after injuries or surgery. The skin, the connective tissue, the sub-cutaneous fat, the muscles and the blood and lymph vessels are treated effectively and in-depth.

LYMPH DRAINAGE (PRESSURE THERAPY)

A modern, clinically-proven and painless method for removal of cellulitis and fat accumulations, stimulation of the natural micro-circulation and metabolism of substances in the tissues, effective reduction of the peripheral swelling of the limbs, this method improves the overall health condition. The lymph drainage therapy improves the immunity, helps the body rid itself of the toxins, accelerates the recuperation from various diseases, while ensuring healthier supply of nutrients to the cells. In contrast to the manual drainage, the lymph drainage (also known as pressure therapy) uses special applicators with overlapping chambers which create a system of specially-developed consecutive pneumatic compression. It stimulates the natural circulation of lymph in the body, activates the operation of the blood vessels, stimulates the drainage of the accumulated toxins. This method is well-known in the treatment of lymphedema, post-traumatic edema, arthrosis, diabetic polyneuropathy, trophic disorders of the skin. It relieves the discomfort in cases of tired feet syndrome, post-traumatic muscle pain, etc. A lightness and reduction of the swelling is felt even after the first procedure.

Classical physiotherapy

GAME READY

This method restores the body at a whole new level. A revolutionary technology which combines cryo therapy and compression therapy as never before. This therapy improves dramatically the rehabilitation from sports traumas and post-surgical swelling, improves the lymph function, supplies an inflow of oxidized blood to the spot of the injury and stimulates the treatment of the tissues.

ELECTRIC STIMULATION THERAPY

An innovative method for stimulating the muscle fibers through low-frequency impulses. The electric stimulation optimizes the functional rehabilitation by increasing the strength in the muscles, helping achieve control over the movements and flexibility. This therapy enables the rehabilitation of immobilized or difficult to move limbs as a consequence of post-fracture conditions, sports traumas, long-term sedentary life or immobilization, diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system. It is applied for maintaining a good physical fitness and produces an excellent weight loss effect by supplementing the multi-faceted fitness drills. It reduces the risk of subsequent injuries. This therapy helps mitigate the pain, stimulates the effect of ferment systems, raises the amount of collagen in the tissues, improves the blood circulation, trophics and general muscle tone.

CRYO THERAPY

Treatment through the effect of cold temperatures. The cryo therapy is especially effective in the immediate aftermath of the trauma sustained. Through localized cooling of the tissues, a convalescent effect is achieved in the cases of a number of painful conditions such as injuries, sprainings, over-extensions, joint contractures (immobilization) – “frozen shoulder”, elbow contractures, chronic inflammatory diseases (tendinitis, bursitis, insercionitis, epicondilitis – “tennis elbow”, muscle pains and spasms. The cryo therapy prevents swelling, inhibits the inflammatory reactions, reduces the pain. It reinforces the inflow of nutrients to the injured area, removes the free radicals and improves the tone of the skin. It is recommended to combine this therapy with laser therapy to achieve better results.

LOW-ENERGY LASER

It regenerates, reduces the inflammation and pain, improves the immunity. The energy absorbed by the tissues is converted into heat. The laser therapy has diverse effects on the human organism – it improves the metabolism of the cells, reinforces the blood circulation and stimulates the micro circulation in the treated area. It reduces the swelling of the tissues. It has an anti-inflammatory and a pain-soothing effect.

ULTRASOUND THERAPY

The ultrasound waves penetrate in depth and generate mechanical oscillations in the cytoplasm of the cells thus activating the inter-cell metabolism, having an anti-inflammatory and lymph drainage-facilitating effect. It normalizes the vascular tone, stimulates the regeneration of the tissues, activates the blood circulation, improves the metabolism. The ultrasound therapy reduces the time for reconvalescence of the injured tissues, scars and muscle spasms. It has an anti-allergic and anti-bacterial effect.

MAGNETIC THERAPY

The magnetic therapy generates a constant and low-frequency variable magnetic field. This is a proven method for treatment of pain, it accelerates the recuperation of the tissues, reinforces the cell activity and activates the body metabolism. The magnetic therapy is the ideal solution for optimizing the functional rehabilitation. The pulsation of the magnetic field improves the trophics of the muscles, regenerates the tissues and improves the blood circulation in the limbs.

ULTRA HIGH FREQUENCY CURRENT THERAPY

The ultra high frequency electromagnetic field generates endogenous heat in depth of the tissues and improves the blood circulation. Itaccelerates the metabolic and chemical processes in the cells, stimulates the secretion of endorphins (the natural pain-soothing hormone in the human body). Thanks to its pain-soothing, spasmolytic and anti-inflammatory effect, this therapy is extremely suitable in the instances of sports traumas, muscle pain and spasms, diseases of the joints, post-traumatic conditions, neurological diseases, etc.

ТЕРАПИЯ С ИНТЕРФЕРЕНТЕН ТОК (СРЕДНОЧЕСТОТНИ ТОКОВЕ)

This is a treatment method with proven therapeutic, analgesic, anti-inflammatory effect. It is easier for the medium frequency electric currents to overcome the resistance of the cutaneous and sub-cutaneous tissues and to reach in-depth of the tissues. The stimulation by means of interferential electric current is very beneficial for improving the peripheral blood circulation, the tissue metabolism and the secretion of biologically-active substances. It helps mitigate the pain, relax the muscle spasm and accelerate the recuperation process, while reducing the need for medications. The stimulation by means of interferential electric current is very beneficial for treatment of disorders of the blood circulation and muscles, stiffness of the joints, swelling, inflammation and chronic pain. This therapy accelerates the recuperation process, helping the body regain its ability to move and improving the restricted mobility and coordination. It helps the recuperation of fractures and post-fracture conditions.

REVITALIZATION AND REGENERATION OF THE FACE AND NECK The TECAR energy brings back to life all the strata of the skin while stimulating in-depth the natural resources of the body, reducing the hydro fat accumulations in the facial area, restoring the natural vitality of the skin, improving the blood supply to the dermatological layers, stimulating the natural regeneration of the cells. It is supplemented by manual therapy for relaxation of the facial muscles and for smoothing the mimic wrinkles. From the very first procedure, the face acquires genuine radiance. The high-frequency electromagnetic waves stimulate the fibroplast and facilitate the production of collagen and elastin, making the skin look tighter. The targeted warming of the tissues helps the skin tighten itself thanks to the renewed generation of collagen.
WEIGHT LOSS AND SCULPTING OF THE BODY The Tecar therapy is an indispensable assistant in fighting obesity. It impacts in a fast, easy and painless manner all types of cellulitis, eliminates the fat accumulations, drains the liquids retained in the body. It has adiathermic and circulatory effect targeted directly at the areas of accumulation of fat (belly, pelvis, hips). It reduces the pressure in the hypodermic layers and eliminated the “orange” skin.

THERAPEUTIC EXERCISES

The therapeutic exercises treat and prevent the onset of a number of health issues.
