Bodyflow

What is Bodyflow?

Bodyflow Therapy promotes the flow of the body fluids such as blood and lymph by its ability to stimulate smooth muscle within the veins, arteries and lymphatic vessels using a specific patented electro-stimulation frequency.

What does it feel like?

Patients may experience a light tingling sensation, felt through the skin under the administered cup/electrode and a minor muscle twitch may occur indicating the stimulation effect. The increased flow of blood and lymph is encouraged to the kidneys, where it is filtered. This results in the toxins and by-products of muscle activity being passed in the urine.

Indications

Bodyflow therapy is recommended to be used to stimulate:

• Arterial circulation
• Venous circulation
• Lymphatic circulation
• Acute and chronic oedemas or swelling
• Some inflammatory conditions
• Pain relief from swelling and inflammation

Examples of conditions that respond well to this treatment are lymphoedema (post mastectomy, abdominal or joint surgery), acute or chronic joint pain (injury or arthritis), slow healing wounds such as with Peripheral Vascular Disease, repetitive strain injuries, sports injuries (haematomas, ligament sprains) and general post exercise muscle soreness.

Contraindications

Clinic Treatment

Bodyflow therapy should not be used on people who:

• Have an internal cardiac device such as a permanent pace maker or internal defibrillator
• Are pregnant
• Suspected of suffering from a Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
• Have been diagnosed with malignant disease in the area being treated
• Have a highly inflammatory, fever-prone disorder

Bodyflow treatments consist of attending the Clinic to receive treatment from the more powerful CX1 device on a weekly basis. This is followed up with 3 times daily treatments using the portable device. The portable device is hired from the Clinic on a weekly basis. The length of treatment is variable and is affected by such things as the acuteness of the injury and amount of swelling. Some treatments may take 1-3 weeks however others may take up to several weeks (eg a chronic lymphoedema) to achieve the desired result.
