Q

How do you test vaccum suction before treatment

A

Set machine to lowest pressure, test applicator on your own inner forearm. Test on clients forearm or shoulder. Check for signs of too high suction. Adjust pressure

Q

Where would you reapply the ventouse if contact with the skin is broken during application of stroke

A

At the point where the contact was lost. Not at the beggining of the stroke. This is because it maintains the direction of lymphatic drainage and avoids overworking the skin

Q

What is the effects of microcurrent on stretch marks

A

Stimulates collagen and elastin production - making stretch marks less visible. Improves skin texture and tone, boosts circulation.

Q

at what stage of faradic treatment can current be increased

A

after electrode placement and initial testing
once the muscles begins to contract visibly and the client feels comfortable, you can gradually increase the current

Q

How long should infrared be turned on prior to use

21
Q

correct definition of ems

Study These Flashcards
A

the application of electrical currents to stimulate motor nerves, causing the muscles to contract and relax involuntarily. it is used for muscle strengthening, toning, rehabilitation and re education

22
Q

how would you recognise a superficial burn

Study These Flashcards
A

Redness, pain, no blisters, mild swelling, dry surface, peeling

23
Q

what safety test would you perform for infrared

Study These Flashcards
A

Thermal sensitivity test

24
Q

25
What distance from the skin should the infrared be positioned in body treatments
45cm
26
what is listed under the contraindications that restrict treatment for body micro current osteoporosis, asthma, hormonal implants or inflamed nerve
inflamed nerve
27
what is listed under the contraindications that restrict treatment for V/S thrombosis, bruising, postural deformities or pregnancy
Thrombosis
28
what is listed under the contraindications that restrict treatment for faradic skin diseases, arthritis, localised swelling or metal plates and pins
metal plates and pins
29
what is listed under the contraindications that restrict treatment for infrared cardiovascular conditions, haematoma, haemophilia or epilepsy
Haemophilia
30
What are the effects of mechanical massage
Improves blood circulation, stimulates lymphatic drainage, relaxed muscles, breaks down fat deposits, softens tissues
31
how should G5 machine be cleaned
rinse and scrub with hot and soapy water. Spray with disinfectant. Dry heads completely
32
Which G5 head should be used in the abdominal region? football, pincushion, egg box, pronged applicator
football
33
What is the best medium to use with G5
Powder
34
the lighthouse applicator is best used where
gluteals
35
why would a pre heat treatment be recommended prior to G5
it warms the muscles and soft tissues
36
which area is more suited to G5.
Hard fat
37
advantage of mechanical massage over manual massage
deeper tissue penetration, consistent pressure and speed, less therapist fatigue
38
a client has swelling on leg, what action should be taken
Do not treat the area and refer the client to a medical professional
39
identify a major effect of G5 on lymphatic system
Eliminates waste products Reduce puffiness and swelling (edema) Support immune function
40
Type of body cleanser used to cleanse prior to galvanic
Non oily cream cleanser
41
Main effects of galvanic under the negative and positive poles
negative alkaline reaction stimulates circulation soothing effect positive acidic reaction stimulates tissue repair helps firm and tone skins surface
42
Where do you place active substances and what polarity is machine on for body iontophoresis
Negative onto the machines pads
43
which safety tests would a therapist do before galvanic
Skin check on treatment area, client consultations, Thermal and tactile test, check machine
44
what is an anion
a negatively charged ion
45
why should sponges covering galvanic electrodes be dampened with water
enhances conductivity, prevents skin irritation or burns, improves comfort
46
What do the possible after effects of galvanic include
redness, tingling or warm sensation, dryness or tightness
47
how do you protect a minor cut from galvanic
Cover the cut with petroleum jelly, use a gauze, avoid direct electrode contact over the cut
48
what current is galvanic
direct current at a low frequency
49
