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
