Area stretching guide
The pictures opposite are designed to give you some indication how to
stretch involved muscles. Go slowly-take it easy-don't overstretch your
muscles. Just hold each stretch for 60 to 90 seconds after Fenix Rehab
System application. Stretches are demonstrated on one side, but are to be
done on either side of the body.
To effect the greatest relief of your symptoms and to rehabilitate the underlying
pain-causing myofascial tissues, you MUST passively stretch your muscles
after applying the Fenix.

Greater muscle blood flow, increased oxygen and nutrient uptake, as well as metabolic waste removal. |
|
This increases the energy production of the muscle and helps the taut muscle band to relax, leading to increased circulation and the beginning of natural healing process. |
|
The problematic muscle is now ready to stretch. Research has shown that pressure massage techniques coupled with a 60 second sustained stretch afterwards, as with The Fenix Rehab System, allow you to restore normal muscle and tendon function and relieve pain. |
To enhance your therapeutic stretching, it is
helpful to apply a cooling agent to the skin overlying the muscle being
stretched.
BIOFREEZEŽ is an ideal pain-relieving cooling gel that can be
applied to the area being stretched, prior to stretching. Samples are provided
for you as part of your Fenix Rehab System, more BIOFREEZEŽ can be
purchased directly from your Healthcare professional.
