HUMAN TECAR MAT

Restore and improve balance, coordination, resilience and fitness with the extraordinary naturalness of exercising barefoot or walking in the sand, on a patch of grass, on rocks or stones or any other natural terrain. The proprioceptive mats come in sets that stimulate the feet’s mechanoreceptors and thus keep the whole body fit.

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.
They create different levels of instability, simulating various conditions of natural terrain and forcing the body to constantly readjust itself during proprioceptive exercise, restoring balance and ultimately recovering tone and strength.

Exercising barefoot on various types of proprioceptive surfaces that constitute Human Tecar Matsnaturally 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.

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 inosteoarticularterms;
» Facilitate greater energy output (approx. 25% more by comparison with a rigid surface).

Medium Density
Flat surfaces characterized by medium or high elasticity. Medium elasticity: Suited to movements with reduced load on joints. High elasticity: Requires greater proprioceptive and muscular effort.
Size: 200 x 54 x 7 cm
Stones
Agglomerations characterized by different densities that simulate an irregular, stony surface. Stimulates the mechanoreceptors in the soles of one’s feet.
Size: 200 x 54 x 7 cm
Dunes
Irregular surface that simulates sandy terrain, stimulating microcirculation and mechanoreceptors in feet, acting on muscles in charge of balance.
Size: 200 x 54 x 7 cm
Multi Density
Rigid framework for inserting or removing different-density cubes, changing their sequence depending on the therapeutic purpose we’re aiming for in rehabilitation.
Size: 200 x 54 x 14 cm
Slant Mat
Laterally slanted mat with a tilt of 4.5 degrees, reproduces smooth, medium-density sand.
Size: 200 x 80 cm incl. 15/7
Needle
Rigid-frame platform with a flexiblesupport (medium elasticity). A rubber-needle mat is placed on the latter, which micro-massages the sole of one’s feet and stimulates circulation. Extremely suited to neurorehabilitation.
Size: 190 x 80 x 7 cm
Pillow
Cubic elastic-response pillow, for use in specific exercises or aerobic workout for increased energy expenditure; comes in two sizes.
Size:Basic Pillow: 40 x 30 x 12 cm Pillow:60 x 35 x 12 cm
Ascending-Descending Set
Consists of 4 modules, enables proprioceptive workout on a sloping plane and steps. Ideal to complement training in sports.
Size: Cuboid: 80 x 80 x 45 cm Step: 80 x 40 x 15 cm Step: 80 x 40 x 30 cm Ramp: 200 x 80 cm incl. 45/7
ROCKING BOX
Plyometric cubes with limited elastic response, of varying heights Can be combined with balance boards
ROCKER BASE FOR ROLLING BOX
May be usedon itsown, as balance board, or applied to Rocking Box Size: 9 / 12 cm

HCR 1002

HCR 1002 is a fundamental tool within the Human Tecar
MO: by acting on microcirculation, it maximizes the body’s capacity for recovery,
preserves and restores balance, and enhances performance.
