Instrumental and tecar therapy

Instrumental therapy complements the rehabilitation programme, at the physiotherapy practice in Vibo Valentia, with technologies dedicated to assessment and treatment, including tecar therapy (INDIBA radiofrequency). These tools make it possible to work in a targeted, personalised way, providing objective data on progress and supporting a faster recovery of physiological functions.

Methods

  • Tecar therapy (INDIBA radiofrequency): uses endogenous heat to stimulate tissue regeneration, encourage muscle relaxation and reduce inflammation or pain.
  • Electrostimulation: uses controlled electrical impulses to “re-educate” the muscles, strengthening weak fibres or helping to inhibit excessive contractions, restoring correct motor control.
  • Biofeedback: a technique that uses sensors to make the body’s physiological signals (otherwise imperceptible) visible to the patient. With the help of a monitor, the patient learns to control and improve muscle contraction or relaxation in real time.

How it works

The programme unfolds in three key phases:

  1. Initial assessment: a dedicated consultation and, where necessary, an instrumental examination to define the problem precisely.
  2. Choice of method: based on the results, a tailored treatment protocol is created, combining the technologies best suited to your specific health needs.
  3. Sessions and follow-up: treatment proceeds as planned, tracking your progress and adjusting the plan where needed.

Frequently asked questions

  • Do you offer tecar therapy? How does it differ from INDIBA radiofrequency?

    "Tecar therapy" is the name most commonly used for radiofrequency treatment that transfers energy to the tissues. At the practice I use an INDIBA device, which belongs to this family of technologies: brands and parameters vary from device to device, while the purpose stays the same, stimulating the tissues with endogenous heat as part of a rehabilitation programme. If you're looking for tecar therapy, this is the treatment you'll find here.

  • What is radiofrequency and what is it used for?

    It is a technology that generates endogenous heat in the tissues to stimulate their regeneration, promote muscle relaxation and reduce inflammation and pain. It is integrated into the rehabilitation programme when recovery needs to be sped up.

  • Is instrumental therapy painful?

    No. The technologies used are well tolerated: radiofrequency usually gives a pleasant sensation of warmth, while electrostimulation and biofeedback work at a controlled intensity agreed with you.

  • What is biofeedback?

    It is a technique that, through sensors and a monitor, makes otherwise imperceptible body signals visible, such as muscle contraction. It lets you learn to control and improve the way your muscles work in real time.

  • Does instrumental therapy replace manual physiotherapy?

    No, it complements it. The instruments provide objective data and enhance the treatment, but they are always part of a personalised rehabilitation programme, never used in isolation.
