Winback: a deeper effect at cellular level

Winback is a physiotherapy technique (TECAR therapy) that uses a small electromagnetic current to activate tissues from within. Simon combines it with osteopathy for a deeper effect.

Winback

How does Winback work?

A gentle current passes between an electrode held by the therapist and a plate placed on your body. Depending on the frequency selected, this produces warmth and improved circulation in the tissues, or a pain-relieving effect.

By providing manual treatment at the same time, Simon can release tension in muscles and fascia more quickly and at a deeper level.
