Exercise Progression Phnx Wave

Training For Enhanced Recovery & Performance

NeuroFit PreformanceTraining uses the Phoenix Waveform during movement-based training to build stronger, more optimized connections between your brain and muscles, thereby enhancing recovery and performance.

NeuroFit Recovery uses the Phoenix Waveform to “hunt” for the origin and other sources contributing to pain or an injury. Then while the Phoenix Waveform, at 500 contractions a second, the client performs eccentric movement-based training to the area, which greatly improves the mobility of the area. The results are enhanced mobility, flexibility, reduced pain, and enhanced healing. 

These protocols and training methods are designed to help people of all ages and abilities RISE UP, achieve amazing results, and become the person or athlete they have always wanted to be.

Exercise Progression Protocols

1) Perform routine medical history, orthopedic and neurological exams by a trained and licensed health-care provider.

2) Review contraindications to electric muscle stimulation

Contraindications:

• It should not be used to treat symptomatic local pain unless the cause of the pain has been clearly diagnosed.
• Electrotherapy should not be used in areas of the body where cancerous lesions exist.
• The treatment should not be applied in areas of the skin that are swollen, infected, or inflamed (e.g. varicose veins)
• Patients suspected of having serious infectious diseases or diseases that require heat or fevers to be suppressed should not be treated with electrotherapy.
• Electrotherapy current should not be applied to the anterior neck (carotid sinus) or through the head.
• Women who are pregnant should avoid electrotherapy treatment, as safe use has not been established for pregnancy.
• Patients with cardiac demand pacemakers should not be treated using powered muscle stimulators.
• Waveforms should not be used on patients who have cardiac demand pacemakers.

3. To Enhance Healing Preform Super Exercise With Oxygen Therapy 10-15min Before Therapy If Possible

4) Use “HUNT PROTOCOL” to find the 4 most sensitive areas or “Hot Spots” and mark these with a marker.

5) Place the adhesive electrodes over the “hot spots” with the BLACK lead proximal to the heart and the RED most distal from the heart.

6) Preform Exercise Progression Based On Muscle Groups

Example: If you were “hunting” around the knee and you found hot spots in the hamstring, calf, and quad, you would perform the one exercise for the hamstring, calf, and quad list.

7) Turn Intensity Up To a 5 or 6 on a scale of 1-10. As perceived by the patient. Perform 5 Very Slow Movements followed by 5 faster Movements, Rest for about 30 sec. If the intensity scale number has dropped, increase the intensity. IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO GO AS HIGH AS YOU CAN.

8) Repeat this for 8 min then reverse the polarity.

Unplug the leads from the electrodes and reverse the leads.

9) Repeat Exercise Progression for another 8min.

10) Remove the leads from the hot spots and sandwich the area of injury if there was one.

The patient came in with patellar tendinitis, you hunted and found the hot spots in the hamstring, calf, and quad then you did the exercise progression, now you will put the pads over the patellar tendon or use the manual for local pad placement.

11) End with Micro-current Setting if inflammation or healing is required. If Just Training, end with ECO Program

Basic Movement Protocols

Never push through the pain.

5 Very Slow Movements

(May need to assist the patient and stretch them into a full range of motion)

5 Fast Movements

20-30 Second Rest

Increase Intensity

Repeat 8 min

Reverse Polarity

End With ECO (If strength training)

OR

MicroCurrent (If Tear/Inflammation) facilitates healing, cell growth, and tissue repair
