Default Targeting areas with formostar

How effective is it for a person to not use the thigh and arm wraps and only use the 2 larger wraps for their mid section.

I'm starting to sound like an infomercial to my customers. Girl told me she lost 2 dress sizes in 5 visits! talk about getting excited about a product....

It's my understanding you should use all the pads, no matter if they have skinny arms and/or legs. The pads all work together to heat up the entire body, not just the areas that are in contact with the pads. If you start eliminating pads, you reduce the heat flow.

Yes use all of the pads. I have a few clients that I use the arm pads in different spots than the arms.

Several people use them on their knees. Since I come in early and wrap myself and still can't wrap my arms to save my life I put one pad behind my upper back/shoulder area and just lay the 2nd one under my calves. If I have someone else wrap me, I'll have them put the arm pads on my calves. It really helps when you've been working out.

Mike, I'm doing a one month trial to test your idea this month. I'm selling a 30 day unlimited for $100 plus co-pay of $25 per visit. People are crazy over it. Just like my $19.99 EFT and they pay $10 every time to upgrade. The math is crazy but they love it. Thanks for the idea.

Anyway, use all the pads for best results. Put them anywhere, they work the whole body.

Kathe I have a employee who asked if she could use one of the wraps on her neck.....I told her it would proably be okay but obviously not to secure it with a strap.....do you see any problem with one on the neck?

I was just in a rollover car crash a few weeks ago - totaled my van and left me a little stiff (which beat dead, so I am grateful!).

I used the thermojet quite a few times over the last few weeks and put it on my neck as well as upper shoulder blades. The pain relief was great! (which is the forgotten part of these infrared systems -- we are all pushing weight loss/body contouring, but don't forget pain management!!).

The used Thermojet I bought also came with a "face piece", complete with eye and mouth cutouts. They sell optional neck pads too (I just used the arm pads when I did it)

I use the arm pads under my neck and shoulder areas quite a lot and it's fantastic. I also use them on knees for some clients (I think I already said that in another post).

Ann,

So sorry to hear about your crash. How awful and glad that you are ok after it all.

Dang Ann. Glad you made it out with just a stiff neck . Take care!!

We definitely publicize the pain relief of the Formostar. About 1/3 of our Formostar clients use it for pain. And they all claim it helps significally. People in pain will gladly pay for the relief.
