The Neural Reset Protocol with the Phoenix Waveform helps gently shift your nervous system out of sympathetic overload and into a parasympathetic healing state. This promotes recovery, reduces inflammation, and restores balance.
The purpose of the Neuro Re-Set and Recovery is to being your nervous system into a state where it can recovery and heal. This is where your hard work pays off and the positive gains are made. All the days of training and exercise breakdown your body and your body heal and builds during the rest time.
Your nervous system is made up of two parts. The sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. Your sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems have opposite roles. Your sympathetic nervous system puts your body’s systems on alert (flight or fight) and your parasympathetic nervous system carries signals that calm and relax your body. The two systems work together to keep your body in balance.
Many people are in a constant state of sympathetic dominance. This means people are in a fight or flight response. This can be due to many things sure as, pain, stress and health issues. The purpose of the Neuro Re-Set and Recovery is to “bring you down”. To bring you out of the fight or flight sympathetic state and into a more calming and relaxing parasympathetic state where your body can recovery and heal.
This is best done before you would like to nap or go to sleep. If you are feeling stressed out, this would be another time to do this. In addition to having the Phoenix Waveform on you, it is also best to attach the grounding attachment to your body as well.
Research over the last decade has demonstrated that grounding studies have documented results including reduced inflammation and pain better sleep, improved response to trauma and injuries with accelerated wound healing, improved blood flow , and reduced blood viscosity
Grounding Pad Placement:
Wrap on end of the grounding attachment onto your
leg and then plug the other end into the ground in the
wall. You will not feel anything.
Phoenix Pad Placement:
Neg Just below the hair line in the suboccipital area.
Just lateral to the spinous processes of the spine
(the bumps of the spine)
POS on the bottom of the foot on
acupuncture Kidney 1 on the bottom of the foot.
Kidney 1 is an AMAZINGLY powerful point that brings
a SURGE of life force energy.
Do this on both sides of the body.
PROGRAM:
You can run a few different programs for the Re-Set and Recovery.
Phoenix Hunt 500HZ or Microcurrent Restore ATP.
For the Phoenix Hunt, just turn up the intensity until “First Sensation”. This means you only want a very slight sensation felt. Not strong contractions.
On the Microcurrent Restore ATP you use the gray cable leads and you will not feel anything since microcurrent is below the sensation people feel.
It is OK if the electrode pads is a little on the side of your neck since we are using very low stimulation intensity with the HUNT and Microcurrents.
Not every Phoenix Waveform treatment needs to be high intensity.
There are times when the goal isn't to produce a powerful muscle contraction, perform HUNT mapping or challenge the neuromuscular system.
Sometimes the goal is simply to turn the intensity down, create gentle rhythmic stimulation and transition into recovery.
That's why Phoenix includes the ECO Program.
ECO stands for Endorphin, Circulation and Oxygenation.
It is a low-frequency, cycling electrical stimulation program designed to provide a very different experience from the higher-frequency Phoenix programs used for HUNT mapping, muscle activation and neuromuscular training.
ECO automatically cycles through a range of low frequencies during a 12-minute session.
12 Hz → 8 Hz → 12 Hz
The frequency gradually cycles down and back over approximately 30-second intervals.
8 Hz → 4 Hz → 8 Hz
The program continues cycling through progressively lower frequencies.
Instead of remaining at one fixed frequency, ECO continually changes the stimulation frequency throughout the session.
The result is a gentler, rhythmic stimulation experience that is distinctly different from Phoenix's high-frequency neuromuscular programs.
Frequency changes how electrical stimulation interacts with sensory and motor nerves and influences the type of muscle response produced.
Phoenix's higher-frequency programs are designed for applications such as HUNT mapping, neuromuscular activation and movement-based training.
ECO serves a different purpose.
By cycling through lower frequencies, ECO can be used when you want comfortable, rhythmic stimulation rather than an intense sustained neuromuscular contraction.
Think of it as changing gears.
HUNT and higher-frequency Phoenix programs = activation and neuromuscular work
ECO = lower-frequency stimulation and recovery
Both have a place within the Phoenix system.
One of our favorite ways to use ECO is after a demanding Phoenix treatment or training session.
During higher-intensity electrical stimulation, the muscles and nervous system are being challenged.
After the work is finished, we don't necessarily need more high-intensity stimulation.
We can change the objective.
Reduce the intensity.
Allow the muscles to relax.
And finish with a comfortable period of low-frequency stimulation.
That's where ECO fits extremely well.
Older Phoenix training materials specifically recommend ECO as an option following strength training or higher-intensity Phoenix applications.
ECO can be incorporated into Phoenix sessions when a lower-frequency stimulation option is desired, particularly:
After a Phoenix HUNT or treatment session
Transition from higher-frequency stimulation to a lower-frequency finish.
After strength or performance training
Use ECO as part of the post-training recovery period.
After neuromuscular activation
Follow more demanding stimulation with a gentler rhythmic program.
During a recovery session
ECO can also be used independently when the objective is comfortable low-frequency electrical stimulation rather than high-intensity activation.
