Thank you for your interest in the services offered by Vitality Fitness Studio. The following is very important and must be read carefully as it discusses necessary precautions and contraindications.
Do not participate in a Vitality Fitness Studio experience if you have any of the conditions below listed under “contraindications” without consulting your primary care physician. The conditions covered below may not be exhaustive, so if you have any health problem that you believe would preclude you from participating in any treatment, please notify the Vitality Fitness staff. Theragun Percussive Therapy and Wave Family DevicesPrecautions: Due care is required in these circumstances and the use of the devices may need to be modified (such as attachment used, the force applied, the position of the body, avoidance of use in direct contact with an area, etc.). Where appropriate or if you have any concerns, seek the advice of a medical professional.• Hypertension (controlled) • Osteopenia• Osteoporosis • Pregnancy • Diabetes • Varicose veins • Bony prominences or regions • Abnormal sensations (e.g., numbness) • Sensitivity to pressure • Recent injury or surgery • Scoliosis or spinal deformity • Medications that may alter client sensations
Contraindications: The following are circumstances where the potential risks may outweigh the benefits. Consult a medical professional before use.• Skin rash, open wounds, blisters, local tissue inflammation, bruises, or tumors • Deep vein thrombosis, osteomyelitis • Bone fracture or myositis ossificans • Hypertension (uncontrolled) • Acute or severe cardiac, liver, or kidney disease • Neurologic conditions resulting in loss or altered sensation • Direct application to the face, throat, or genitalia • Bleeding disorders • Recent surgery or injury • Connective tissue disorders • Peripheral vascular insufficiency or disease • Medications that thin the blood or alter sensations • Direct pressure over surgical site or hardware • Direct pressure over eyes or throat • Extreme discomfort or pain felt by client • Severe scoliosis or spinal deformity • Pacemaker, ICD, or history of embolism
Pneumatic Compression BootsWhat is pneumatic compression and how does it work? Pneumatic compression is a form of pressure massage in which a garment completely covering the limb (legs) inflates and deflates in a cyclical pattern over a period of time. The process flushes fluids containing metabolic waste and ushers in fresh, nutrient-rich blood to the limbs, improving circulation and blood flow. This increased circulation will reduce muscle pain and soreness, decrease swelling, and offer greater pain relief and recovery.
Precautions: Due care is required in these circumstances and the use of the devices may need to be modified (such as pressure setting used, fill pattern configuration, limiting the use to certain areas of the limb rather than the entire limb, etc.). Where appropriate or if you have any concerns, seek the advice of a medical professional. • Abnormal sensations (e.g., numbness) • Recent injury or surgery • Heart disease.
High pressure is not recommended for patients who have peripheral occlusion disease.
Contraindications: These are circumstances where the potential risks may outweigh the benefits. Consult a medical professional before using the device. • This system is intended for use by people in good health. This system is not recommended for people who have heart problems, or vascular problems, have a condition requiring the use of any medical device, or have any condition that may affect their normal well-being. • If you are, or maybe pregnant, consult with your physician before use. • Do not use this system over insensitive or numb areas, or in the presence of poor circulation. • Do not use if you have been diagnosed with blood clots, deep vein thrombosis, or phlebitis. • This system should not be used over swollen or inflamed areas, skin eruptions or other wounds, infections, or tumor sites. • Do not use in the presence of unexplained calf pain. • Consult your physician prior to use.
Boots are intended for clients with a standard height 5’4 – 6’4
PowerDot Electric StimulationElectrical stimulation sends electrical signals through a device, stimulating sensory and/or motor nerves. There are two types of electrical stimulation: transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES).
NMES: NMES uses an electrical current to stimulate the motor nerves, which results in muscle contraction. This stimulus is designed to mimic the same type of signal the brain sends to the muscle when you move.
TENS: TENS uses an electrical current to stimulate the sensory nerves for therapeutic purposes. This stimulation suppresses the pain signals that are being sent to the brain to provide temporary pain relief.
Electricity is the natural way the cells in our body communicate, execute specific functions, and provide life. TENS uses the same method your body already uses to prevent the sensory nerves from telling the brain you are experiencing pain
Precautions: Due care is required in these circumstances and the use of the devices may need to be modified (such as electrode pad placement, intensity of stimulation, avoidance of use in direct contact with an area, etc.). Where appropriate or if you have concerns, seek the advice of a medical professional. • Abnormal sensations (e.g., numbness) • Recent injury, surgery, or trauma • Muscle atrophy. • Persistent pain. • Do not use PowerDot near metal or strong magnets (such as an MRI).• Do not exert yourself when using electrical muscle stimulation. Any workout should be at a level comfortable for you. • Do not use the stimulator at altitudes of over 3,000 meters. Pad Usage Precautions Never attach electrode pads: • Near or to your head. • On the front and sides of the neck • Across your chest • To you front torso (i.e. chest or abs) and back torso (i.e. upper back, lower back) simultaneously. • Over painful areas. If you have painful areas, you should consult with your physician before using this device. • Over open wounds or rashes, or over swollen, red, infected, or inflamed areas or skin eruptions (e.g., phlebitis, thrombophlebitis, varicose veins). • Over, or in proximity to, cancerous lesions.
Contraindications: These are circumstances where the potential risks may outweigh the benefits. Consult a medical professional before using the device. • Use of any cardiac stimulator (pacemaker), implanted defibrillator or other implanted metallic or electronic device. • Epilepsy (or history of seizures) or any sensory or mental impairment preventing communication or sensation of stimulation intensity • Cancer or cancerous lesions • Any heart problem or condition • Pregnancy (do not use over abdominal area or low back area) • Serious circulation disorders in lower limbs (arterial disease, blood clots, etc.) • Abdominal or inguinal hernia • Infection • This system should not be used over swollen or inflamed areas, skin eruptions or other wounds, uncontrolled hemorrhage, infections, or tumor sites. • Consult your physician prior to use.
Recovery Hot Vibration Back and CoreRecoveryTherm Hot Vibration Back & Core is an all-in-one wearable device that provides precise heat paired with expertly placed vibration to reduce back and core discomfort. This device helps with everything from minor muscle tweaks to injuries and aches to menstrual cramps, as well as chronic lower back pain and post-workout recovery. The innovative Carbon Fiber Mesh distributes consistent heat around your body, while Germanium fabric naturally emits far infrared light to help regulate temperature, increase circulation, and enhance the body’s natural healing process. This is advanced relief to keep you moving throughout your day.
