⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTES
  • Do not use mat and transducers on the client at the same time (causes interference)
  • Ensure proper placement of transducers on body — see manual for placement locations
  • LIMFA logo should be facing away from body
  • Transducers must not touch skin
  • Transducer penetration: 7 inches
  • Keep transducers as far apart as possible (6+ inches)
  • Mat penetration: 3 inches — provides systemic effect
  • Use caution to ensure mat is folded correctly — LIMFA logo is the head/top
  • Two types of pain: Acute (new) and Chronic (3+ months). 10 sessions of Automatic protocol can be helpful for either.
  • It is normal for pain to increase in the first 1–3 sessions as “good” inflammation pushes out the “bad”
  • Regeneration takes time — it will take at least 6–8 sessions to start feeling a change
