1. After the treatment, for the rest of the day do not sit longer than 30 minutes       at a time.  Just get up, have a stretch and walk around the room.

2. Walk as much as you can each day and for at least 15 minutes.

3. Drink as much pure water as possible - no less than 5 glasses a day.

4. Avoid stimulants, eg. Coffee, tea, alcohol for the rest of the day.

5. Avoid very hot or very cold food and drink.

6. Avoid excessive heat or cold on areas treated eg. ice packs, electric blankets.
