PATIENT PREPARATION
Before applying Radial Pressure Wave therapy to the
patient, first prepare the patient’s skin. By properly preparing
the patient’s skin for therapy, it allows more energy to reach
the targeted areas and reduces the risk of skin irritation.
To prepare the patient’s skin for therapy, do the following:
1. Thoroughly wash the skin on which intended treatment
is to be administered with mild soap and water or
alcohol wipe.
2. Dry the skin thoroughly.
3. Apply the ultrasound gel generously to the target area on
the patient
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. RPW therapy is very well perceived among
therapists thanks to its positive outcomes and its relatively
short treatment period.
TREATMENT TIPS
• Let your patient rest in a relaxing position during a
treatment session, providing them a rolled up towel
under their limb for comfort if needed during an
elevated treatment
• Localise the painful points you plan to treat. It might
be a good idea to mark up the points with a felt tip
pen.
• Apply a liberal amount of gel on the skin of the
treatment area.
Talk to your patient and ensure that they understand the
following:
• Treatment should start at minimal Bar level
• Bar level should increase slowly, manually or
automatically when using Comfort Mode
• Patient is responsible to let the clinician know at
anytime if treatment is becoming painful
Note: The therapist should pay attention to patient’s body’s reaction
to treatment
