15 How to Perform a Radial Pressure Wave Treatment RPW treatment, given in the right dose and for the correct indications, is an excellent treatment for many chronic conditions that other treatment methods can’t improve or heal. Radial pressure therapy is very well perceived among therapists thanks to its positive outcomes and its relatively short treatment period. • Let your patient rest in a relaxing position during a treatment session. • Localise the painful points you plan to treat. Sometimes it ‘s a good idea to mark up the points with a felt tip pen. • Apply gel on the skin of the treatment area. A treatment with radial pressure waves requires a hand piece with a transmitter tip especially designed for the treatment (read more about the transmitters below). Point the hand piece on the painful area or on the surrounding muscles. Warn the patient about the sound the projectile makes when hitting the transmitter during the treatment. The painful spots are localised by palpation following the patient’s indications. Radial pressure wave therapy is a powerful treatment and it can be perceived very differently from patient to patient. It is important to observe, communicate and keep in close contact with the patient throughout the treatment.
16 General Muscle Activation / Coupling General Muscle Activation There are two different ways in which to start a treatment. The important thing to take into account is that both pain point stimulation and muscle activation/muscular treatment/vibration treatment are included in a full treatment. If you prefer to use a preset program you will find these programs under Muscular Treatment or Vibration Treatment in the Intelect® RPW*. Some therapists find it most convenient to start up with activation and smoothing of the surrounding muscles and connective tissue to get the muscles relaxed before treating the painful points. More commonly, some therapists start with the painful points in order to eliminate the pain radiating from the spots, and then finalize the treatment by activation and smoothing of the surrounding muscles. Coupling To ensure efficiency and optimal effect of the treatment, make sure that there is a good contact between the transmitter and the patient’s skin. Always apply a sufficient amount of gel on the treatment area, and be sure that the transmitter surface is in contact with the skin, throughout the treatment. NOTE: If you prefer to use the CERAma-x® R-15 transmitter, the unique feature of this transmitter allows you to work without any gel as coupling. CERAma-x® is equal to the R-15 (regular) transmitter, and can replace it in the preset programs. *Not offered on Mobile RPW RPW Introduction
