Wellness Applications; Applications To Accompany Therapy - NOVAFON SK2 Serie Manual De Instrucciones

5.1.1. Wellness applications

NOVAFON sonic wave instruments are exceptionally well-suited to wellness applications
such as relaxing full-body massages, invigorating foot and leg massages, and soothing face
massages. For sustainable results the treatment listed here should be carried out daily; or
even multiple times per day, e.g. mornings and evenings.
Useful tips for leg massages
Using the plate attachment massage from bottom to top in stroking or gently circular
motions. Always move the NOVAFON in one direction. When used for leg massages the
device should always be moved from bottom to top, i.e. towards the heart. This relieves
strain from the legs while stimulating lymph circulation. The massage should last between
10 and 15 minutes and should include both legs.
Useful tips for back massages
Using the plate attachment move the device over the sore area either in linear strokes or
in slow circular motions. During the treatment you should constantly slowly massage from
top to bottom (or vice versa) to the left and right of the spine. Once you have massaged
in one direction, lift the device from the skin, then recommence from where you initially
began. The treatment should last between 15 and 20 minutes.
Useful tips for facial massages
Massage in circular or stroking movements. Use the sonic plate for the middle of the face.
Begin massaging at the bridge of the nose: rub from here outwards over the face. Massage
the whole cheek area in this way. Include the cheekbones and rub gently in the direction
of the ear. Eyes: Place the NOVAFON under the eye and circle around it gently without
applying direct pressure. Begin massaging the bony part around the eye sockets. Do not di-
rectly massage the eyes or the eyelids. Lips: Use the sonic ball and place the device around
the edge of the lips. Slowly move the NOVAFON around the mouth in circular motions.

5.1.2. Applications to accompany therapy

Vibration therapy using NOVAFON can be effective as a supporting measure for serious
illnesses, however it does not replace a visit to the doctor. Ideally, its application should be
arranged with the treating doctor or therapist.
In accordance with the contra-indications (Chapter 5.3) the use of the instrument is depen-
dent on the subjective perception of the person being treated. The device can also be used
in compliance with the symptom: placed directly on or in the immediate vicinity of the
aching area, on the antagonistic muscle and/or the antagonistic tendon, on trigger points
near the aching area (or even acupuncture points), or contralateral to the aching area.
Applications in the context of orthopaedic indications
