When reading the following treatment guidelines, please be aware that each individual’s response to treatment will differ with each case. The following guidelines are intended to be used as a recommendation. Each treatment case should be monitored by a health care provider that has read the Operations Manual and Therapeutic Manual and are familiar with the Contraindications. Initial Treatment: It is recommended that on initial consultation with a patient, the Clinical Device is used to kick start treatment and provide an opportunity to assess immediate response to Bodyflow® Technology and whether this therapy is appropriate for ongoing treatment. Ongoing Treatment: It’s recommended that the patient rent or purchase a portable Bodyflow® device for treatment at home. An additional treatment using the Clinical (CX1) device is also encouraged to accelerate the recovery process. Suggested review: It is recommended that the patients are reviewed at regular intervals. Response rates vary between patients and their conditions.
Please observe the following safety precautions when using electrodes:
- For safety and maintenance of warranty only Bodyflow® approved accessories can be used. Note: Warranty is void if non authentic Bodyflow accessories are used.
- Never apply Bodyflow® Electrodes/Suction Cups directly to areas that have cuts, abrasions or inflammation.
- Always use the largest electrode to adhere properly to the skin as this will target more tissue.
- Never use Bodyflow® Electrodes that are dry, damaged or show signs of malfunction.
- If you require further training or information regarding the use of Bodyflow® devices please consult your Bodyflow Distributor.
- Note: The guidelines stated throughout this document are suggestive guidelines to maximise benefit for patients recovery.
