Our Story

Golden Star has a long tradition of product innovation and Italian design excellence. Our company was established in Rome right after the second world war. It started out as an artisan workshop, where every single piece was handmade: bier ovens, electrotherapy, ultrasound, and magnetic therapy units, aids like laryngophones, and even small furnishings for physiotherapy studios.

The earliest diathermy units were developed in 1952 for an order placed by the Italian Navy. Those very devices were the first example of portable Marconi therapy in Italian history. The “MP 250” model combined a generous power of 250 Watts with reduced weight and size. The ideal solution for “on the field” treatments.

Golden Star’s philosophy in those years was to create safe, compact, high-performance devices. Stefano’s entrepreneurial idea led to the creation of the famous Multifisio, a multiple-therapy device (electrotherapy + laser + magnetic + ultrasound therapy) in a briefcase that weighed only 5 kg. Over the subsequent ten years, Multifisio was sold all across Italy.

In the 2000s, as tecar therapy spread across Italy, Golden Star became one of the first manufacturers to understand the potential of that market. Today, it’s still one of the most advanced and prolific manufacturers of tecar therapy equipment.

In 2006, Endortherapy RCL1000, the first tecar therapy unit was developed, followed by other models that further improved the technology and therapeutic options.

A few years later, Golden Star became the first company (and is still the only one) to connect a tecar therapy unit with a proprietary Android app distributed through PlayStore. This technology was patented in Italy as a utility model. 

This way, Golden Star moved a step ahead of the international physiotherapy market. It did so with the Endowarm model and again with the successful Fisiowarm series, with more than 1500 units sold across the five continents.

In 2018, Golden Star celebrated its 70th anniversary launching Fisiowarm 7.0 in a native iOS environment.

Golden Star even has a small museum within its premises: a journey through time, from the first diathermy unit built in 1952 to today.

The museum also showcases the equipment used over the years, technical drawings, catalogues, and use and maintenance instructions.

The Advantages

We manufacture cutting-edge devices with a unique design that makes all the difference 

For the first time, an app controls and communicates with the device to simplify and enrich human-machine interactions. This way, the user can enjoy a truly dynamic experience and is free to move, thanks to the remote Bluetooth control.

This ever-evolving app – available in 8 languages – includes photographic content and step-by-step instructions.

Education

THE ITALIAN TECAR THERAPY ACADEMY: REASONS WHY

Innovating wasn’t enough for us. We wanted to do more. We wanted to implement all the knowledge of the best physiotherapists who use tecar therapy every day, integrating it with other methods to treat disorders and pursue therapeutic and rehabilitation results.

In over 15 years, we have collected the most effective methods for using tecar therapy in association with other treatments, including manual therapy and functional rehabilitation. 

The Italian Tecar Therapy Academy (AIT) teaches young physiotherapists and anyone who wants to combine tecar therapy with other methods a selection of applications that can be used effectively on patients.
