What to expect during a Therapy session
SCENAR therapy is non invasive.
The device is about the size of a TV controller and fits in the therapist’s hand.
The treatment is not painful in itself.
The treatment feels like a series of impulses. The strength of these may vary from hardly noticeable to a strong prickle. Sometimes you will experience muscle contractions. e.g. it may cause your shoulder to rise up as if shrugging.
Normally the signal is comfortable to the patient. If however you do find it too strong then it can be reduced to your comfort level.
In the way that reflexology treats internal organs through the soles of the feet SCENAR is able to treat very painful areas from another, less painful, location.
Depending on the treatments given the most comfortable positions may be: standing, sitting or lying.
As treatment must be on bare skin you may need to remove or loosen some clothing in the area to be treated. Your modesty will be respected.
SCENAR Therapy is very safe and the only contra-indication for treatment is if you have a pacemaker of any type fitted or have a mental disturbance such as epilepsy or bi-polar disease.
The assessment
You will complete a medical questionnaire and a body chart showing locations and degree of pain.
Assessment and the first treatment will take between one and one and a half hours.
It would be to your advantage to arrive early and complete as much of the questionnaire as possible before seeing the therapist.
During the assessment a treatment schedule will be worked out according to your needs.
The number of treatments will vary for each individual. However the Russian research suggests that SCENAR is effective in 80% of cases and :-
- A chronic disease may take up to 6 weeks of treatment in order to see a long lasting effectiveness.
- An Acute problem may only take only one or two treatments.
Treatment
A note will be taken at the start and end of every session of your pain levels on a body chart.
The first treatment would normally be over the spine, abdomen or affected area.
Follow up treatments may vary depending on how you respond.
Frequency and the Number of Treatments
Frequency and the number of treatments will vary according to your needs. Some people need only one treatment, others a course of treatment followed by occasional maintenance sessions.
Your needs will depends on age, degree of injury, how long a condition has existed, what medication you take and your state of health.
Should I tell my Doctor ?
YES.
If you are taking drugs it is possible that they may be reduced [or eliminated] as your condition improves and your Doctor needs to be involved in that.
Can I do anything to help ?
YES.
Arriving for a treatment session free of alcohol or any other intoxicating drug is an essential.
If you are adequately hydrated during the period of treatment it will help the treatment be more effective and, in general, enhance the detoxification process.
For best results it is recommended that you do not bathe, shower or wash for 3 hours before and after the treatment session and avoid all Make-up, skin creams, de-odorants…etc.
It is best, if possible, to be as calm as possible and to avoid stressful or overly exciting activities during the period of treatment.
Is there anything else I should know ?
What SCENAR is doing to achieve these results often leads to a balancing of the central nervous system which can be noticed in improved sleep patterns, less stress and fatigue.
During the first appointment your particular condition will be assessed and treatment discussed.
During the treatment period it is possible that old or forgotten symptoms may resurface for a short period. You may also experience a feeling of tiredness and malaise as the body tries to self regulate [heal] too rapidly.
This is called a healing crisis.
It is a good sign as it shows that the body is healing as thoroughly as possible.
If this happens do not worry, as there are techniques to manage this.
