Program list for the direct current neurotherapy Phoenix Waveform
Waveform: Square wave with a carrier at 10 kHz, and zero net charge but tweaked to have a DC component; it is coupled with a low-frequency waveform at 500 Hz and 500 µs of pulse width positive and 500 µs negative and options at 300µs pulse width positive and 300 µs negative. Electron flow is reversible. The output is a constant current going up to 120 mA on channels 1 and 3.
Under physiological conditions frequency of the nervous system, a neuron's maximum firing rate is typically 500 Hz.
The Phoenix causes deep muscle contraction but still allows a full active range of motion. Eccentric training, strong muscle contractions by the Phoenix then lengthening the muscles through specific mobility protocols are integral the Phoenix recovery and training protocols.
From an amp (amperes) point of view and from a waveform shape point of view, this waveform is one of the most powerful EMS units out there.
PHOENIX PROGRAM
Pulse Frequency: 1-500 PPS
Pulse Duration: 600µs and 1000µs
Polarity: The direction of electron flow is reversible
Power Source: Rechargeable battery. The number of treatments depends on output intensity
500 Hz – High-Intensity Activation
This is one of the effective programs, a high-frequency setting is ideal for acute injuries.
300 Hz – Intense Neuromuscular Re-Education
This setting delivers intense neuromuscular stimulation, just a step down from 500 Hz.
This moderate frequency is perfect during the transitional recovery phase.
135 Hz – Gentle Activation for Chronic Rehabilitation
A gentle frequency for chronic rehabilitation.
A low-frequency setting designed for maintenance.
10 Hz – Ultra-Low Frequency for Pain Relief and Flexibility
Our ultra-low frequency setting.
Phoenix Elite – Program List
Electrotherapy
-KOTZ (Russian Stimulation)
-NEMS Programs
Interferential (Pain, edema)
Microcurrents:
Microcurrent stimulation to the body causes radically increased production of ATP levels. This allows the body to perform whatever healing process it has undertaken in an accelerated fashion. It may even allow one to get over the proverbial “hump” that was unachievable, due to insufficient ATP concentrations to perform the changes needed.
Microcurrent G-Pulse (Fascial)
The G Pulse treatments increase circulation and give the necessary energy to sustain cellular metabolism and protein synthesis of skin cells.

Differences between Elite and Pro models.
The Elite has one more program called the Phoenix Plus which is a little stronger than the Phoenix Hunt (at 500HZ or 500 contractions per second). A longer pulse duration than the other Phoenix Program. This is a powerful program Phoenix Plus: 500 Hz, 500 µs of pulse-width positive, and 500 µs negative.
The other Phoenix Programs are pulse-width 300 positive and 300 µs negative.
The main difference is the size. The PRO is a little bigger than a cell phone. The PRO unit is so small, it is easy to travel with, you can just put it in your pocket and do the therapy, mobility, and rehab exercises. People do weight training with it, run with it on, ski, skate, cycle, or do any type of movement.
You can of course do the same thing with the Elite Unit, however, it is about 4 times the size of the PRO. The Elite has two larger batteries in it. Due to this and the larger size of the Elite, it does not warm up and it has a much larger battery. Both units can run on battery or while plugged into the wall.
If you have used the Therastim or ARPwave at high intensities, the Elite is a better way to go. The waveform of Sine Waves is very crude, therefore to obtain some result they have to crank it up to a point where you feel a lot of pins and needles. Do not let the size of the Phoenix units fool you. We have a waveform more powerful than the Sine Waves, both from an amp (Ampères) point of view and from a waveform shape point of view. Our waveform (square) is also cleaner, and more efficient, and by virtue of the fact that it is generated with square wavefronts, so it is not necessary to turn the intensity as high as you can.
In other words, a square wave gets more bang for the buck than a sine wave. Please read over the attached on why we used a square wave over a sine wave.
So, Elite – 4X the size, has the Phoenix Plus Program, a larger battery ($4100)
PRO, no Phoenix Plus, smaller and more compact. ($3500)
