Human Tecar Mats

Human Tecar Mats come in sets made up of proprioceptive surfaces of varying sizes, easily placed even in restricted spaces, and made of a wide variety of materials: polyethylene (EPE), polyurethane (EPU), viscoelastic materials, memory foam and materials specifically designed for this type of technology.

Tecar Mats are purposely developed with different levels of instability, to simulate various conditions of natural terrain forcing the body to constantly readjust itself during proprioceptive exercise, restoring balance and ultimately recovering tone and strength.

TOUCH

How Does It Work?

Exercising barefoot on various types of proprioceptive surfaces, such as those used in Human Tecar Mats, naturally stimulates the activity of nervous receptors (proprioceptors) found in skeletal striated muscles, tendons and joints, which determine how one perceives the position of one’s body parts in space. The Mats’ different levels of instability and difficulty provide ideal training for control of movement and to enhance proprioceptive ability, balance, agility, and strength.

How is it Beneficial

Human Tecar Mats are especially designed to facilitate training, rehabilitation and recovery of the muscular apparatus and ligaments thanks to proprioceptive stimulation of one’s bare feet, without in any way putting pressure on the joints, thanks to the avant-garde materials used.

Materials that enable Human Tecar Mats to:

Stimulate mechanoreceptors present on the soles of one’s feet;
Avoid mechanical stresses and overload in osteoarticular terms;
Facilitate greater energy output (approx. 25% more by comparison with a rigid surface).

Proprioception

Proprioception is how one perceives and recognizes the position of one’s body in space, the relative position of neighboring parts of the body, and the status of muscle contraction, even without the aid of sight. It’s a sophisticated mechanism that aims to supply the Central Nervous System with extremely precise information in real-time, concerning several parameters relative to body movement:

Biomechanics of human movement (speed, strength, direction, acceleration)
Physiological parameters, concerning the state of and biological changes occurring in muscles, tendons and joints as a result of movement
Stimulating this mechanism through barefoot exercises on various types of surfaces enhances this sensitivity (proprioceptive training): in other words, it gets the body to respond to external stimuli more effectively.
