DOs and DON'Ts

For best results, we need your active participation in this treatment program. Please follow these recommendations.  They will make a difference.

• DO complete the course of therapy as recommended by your AquaSonix Therapist. A large number of patients get a positive response well into the treatment program.
• DO practice a positive mental attitude. Medical studies have shown patients with less stress and a positive mental outlook always respond better to medical treatments.
• DO drink at least six glasses of water a day.  Proper hydration is important. Drink lots of water while in the pool.
• DO rest after treatments. Restorative sleep and relaxation are essential to allow your body to work towards improvements.  Baby your painful joints.
• DO follow good dietary practices. Get to know which foods can potentially trigger an increase in joint irritation and those you should avoid.
• DO your home exercise as instructed by your AquaSonix Therapist. Muscle strengthening when appropriate provides support to the joints.

• DO NOT increase your level of activity quickly or return too soon to doing that what you were avoiding before - just because you are feeling better. Increase your activities gradually and in moderation.
• DO NOT be discouraged by what might appear to be a setback, or increase in pain, when in fact it is likely a sign of a positive change. Communicate with your AquaSonix Therapist before drawing any conclusions.      
• DO NOT make any changes in your medication without consulting your  doctor. AquaSonix Therapy treatment program works well in conjunction with your current prescribed medications.
• DO NOT allow stress to have a negative influence on your life. Practice positive mental attitude and use principles of body relaxation.
• DO NOT isolate yourself from others when you are experiencing pain. Develop friendships; talk with your friends, family and the AquaSonix Therapy healthcare team.
• DO NOT wait more than 4 weeks without a treatment once you have completed the initial phase of the therapy.  
• DO NOT wait and suffer in pain needlessly!    We are here to help
