		Low back pain and/or sciatica

Tandem Point therapy is NOT effective for:

		Fibromyalgia characterized by the inability to engage in moderate exercise for an hour without extreme fatigue. Individuals with this type of fibromyalgia may prefer to consult a therapist trained in Frequency Specific Microcurrent such as Kristine Davison Allcroft of Moorestown, NJ, 856-608-0700.
		Stomach/digestive pain
		Gynecological pain
		Cancer-related or other disease-related pain
		Bone pain
		Joint pain with bone loss in the joint (cartilage loss is OK)

Individuals with the following characteristics should NOT attempt Tandem Point therapy:

		Individuals who are ill, who suffer from fatigue, or who have recently recovered from an illness characterized by fatigue
		Individuals who are pregnant
		Individuals under age 11
		Individuals who are taking blood-thinning medications, such as coumadin
		Individuals who are taking diuretic medications, such as triamterene
		Individuals who have a kidney problem or other condition that prevents them from drinking large quantities of water
		Individuals who suffer from any part of the following pattern of migraine headaches: A migraine is more likely to begin on weekends or vacation days, is more likely to begin at 5-7 a.m. than other times, and is more likely to begin after a menstrual period than before.

In general, if you are NOT healthy enough to engage in gentle exercise, such as an easy walk for an hour, and feel good after the exercise, then you are NOT healthy enough for Tandem Point therapy. Sometimes healthy individuals have pain that inhibits their ability to exercise, and you must evaluate whether you would be healthy enough to exercise for an hour if you did not have pain.

Tandem Point therapy is best suited to individuals who prefer a deeper style of massage or who are motivated to obtain pain relief.
