Tecar Therapy in Versailles: Expertise and Innovation at Cabinet Ostéo Versailles

Welcome to the page dedicated to Tecar Therapy at Cabinet Ostéo Versailles, located in Versailles Chantiers. As a leader in osteopathy and innovative therapies in the Yvelines (78), we are committed to offering you the best care to relieve your pain, speed up your recovery, and optimize your well-being. Discover how Tecar Therapy, a cutting-edge technique that complements osteopathy, can transform your daily life. 

What is Tecar Therapy?

Tecar Therapy, or Transfer of Energy Capacitive and Resistive, is a non-invasive therapeutic method that uses high-frequency currents (generally between 300 kHz and 1 MHz) to stimulate body tissues. Initially developed for high-level athletes, it has become widely used in physical therapy and osteopathy to treat a variety of musculoskeletal conditions.

This therapy works deep down by transferring electromagnetic energy through the tissues, promoting a biostimulating effect that accelerates cellular metabolism. Unlike traditional treatments, Tecar Therapy is painless and offers rapid results, often from the very first session. At Cabinet Ostéo Versailles, we use this technique to help our patients regain mobility and comfort, making us the benchmark for Tecar Therapy in Versailles Chantiers.

How does Tecar Therapy work?

The principle behind Tecar Therapy is based on the application of radio frequencies that generate endogenous heat (produced by the body itself) in the targeted tissues. This stimulates blood and lymphatic circulation, increases local temperature, and optimizes cellular exchanges.

In capacitive mode, the energy targets soft tissues such as muscles and skin, while in resistive mode, it penetrates deeper to reach bones, tendons, and ligaments. This dual approach accelerates tissue regeneration, reduces inflammation, and inhibits pain transmission. Sessions typically last 20 to 30 minutes and are tailored to each patient. In Versailles, our expertise in Tecar Therapy guarantees precise and effective application, combined with osteopathic techniques for optimal results.

Indications for Tecar Therapy: When is it useful?

Tecar Therapy is indicated for a wide range of musculoskeletal and inflammatory disorders. It is particularly effective for:

  • Relieve acute and chronic pain (lower back pain, neck pain, tendonitis);
  • Accelerate healing after a muscle injury, sprain, or fracture;
  • Reduce edema and joint inflammation (osteoarthritis, arthritis);
  • Improving post-operative mobility (prostheses, ligamentoplasty);
  • Treat pelvic floor disorders, such as postpartum pain or endometriosis;
  • Optimize athletic recovery (muscle spasms, groin pain, recovery after exercise);
  • Alleviate symptoms of fibromyalgia or muscle spasms.


Whether you are an athlete, a senior citizen, or simply seeking wellness, Tecar Therapy at Versailles Chantiers offers a natural and fast solution. Immediate relief and lasting improvement after just a few sessions.

The benefits of Tecar Therapy

Beyond its specific indications, Tecar Therapy offers numerous advantages that make it a preferred choice in modern osteopathy. It stimulates the body's natural metabolism without major side effects, promotes accelerated healing (up to twice as fast as conventional methods), and can be combined with other treatments such as manual therapy or therapeutic exercises.

Non-invasive and painless, it is suitable for all ages and improves not only physical health but also overall well-being by reducing stress and boosting vascularization. At Cabinet Ostéo Versailles, we integrate Tecar Therapy into personalized protocols to maximize its benefits.

How a Tecar Therapy session unfolds at the Ostéo Versailles clinic

We integrate tecar therapy directly into our osteopathy sessions. This means that during our standard consultation, if we believe that an area could benefit from Tecar therapy, we offer it to the patient at no extra charge. It is included in our service, and this is what makes our osteopathic care unique, as we are currently the only ones offering these consultations in Versailles.

We also offer specific Tecar therapy sessions that are shorter in length to treat a specific area, such as tendinopathy of the shoulder or endometriosis. A typical session begins with an osteopathic assessment to identify the areas to be treated. 

Application of a conductive gel

We then apply a conductive gel to the skin.

  • Very gentle on the skin (tested for intensive medical use, including sensitive areas)
  • No added fragrance
  • Water-soluble → can be easily removed with water
  • Does not stain, does not stick for long

Use of electrodes or a bracelet

We use electrodes or TX handles to deliver the energy. Thanks to our machine, we can use a bracelet on the practitioner's forearm and the energy flows through our fingers. The patient is not in contact with a machine, but only with the practitioner's hands. And that is the strength of our treatment: our hands combined with the effectiveness of tecar therapy.

Pleasant feeling of warmth

The patient will feel a pleasant, relaxing warmth, without any pain.

Duration

 The duration varies depending on the condition, but the effects are often noticeable as soon as the session ends, which can last from a few minutes to several tens of minutes.

From one to several sessions

For certain conditions, several sessions may be necessary to achieve optimal results. These sessions are spaced out over several days. At Versailles Chantiers, our team of qualified osteopaths will support you throughout the process, tailoring the Tecar Therapy treatment to your specific needs.

Our equipment: The Winback Back 4 at the Versailles Osteopathy Clinic

At Cabinet Ostéo Versailles, we have just acquired the Winback Back 4 machine, a state-of-the-art Tecar Therapy device that allows us to offer excellent care. The Back 4 combines three innovative currents: 

  • TECAR for deep metabolic stimulation, 
  • Hi-TENS for immediate pain relief,  
  • Hi-EMS for effective and virtually painless muscle contraction.

Thanks to its smart TX handles and wristbands, we can treat up to three areas simultaneously, in manual or hands-free mode, for twice as fast therapy. This technology automatically adjusts the power according to tissue impedance, ensuring safety and effectiveness. Whether for pelvic rehabilitation, fascia treatment, or sports recovery, the Winback Back 4 takes our protocols to the next level. By choosing our practice in Versailles Chantiers, you benefit from this exclusive innovation, making us the go-to reference for Tecar Therapy in Versailles.
