3. Overview Of 7e Standard Body Program


Torc Plus protocol encompasses simple, well-dened steps that have been
proven very effective. While six in-ofce treatments are recommended for
maximum effect, it has been shown that Clients have lost as many as 2
inches in the abdominal area in the rst treatment and in some cases up to
10 inches over six treatments. This signicant change is the result of the
increased contractility and tone in the abdominal muscles.

Each treatment lasts for less than 60 minutes, but the advanced technology
and software of the TORC PLUS system allow the attending physician or staff
member to spend only about 10 minutes for initial setup plus periodic
monitoring.

4. Steps Of Standard Torc Plus Body Program
E. Pre-Treatment Steps
Step 1: Introduction: Use 7e Fitspa Consultation video
Introduce the Client to this non-invasive, wellness oriented, Torc Plus
Treatment, and explain to them the benets and results expected. Get
customer in front of TV monitor or Laptop and have them watch the 7min
Consultation video.
** It will build credibility and right expectations.

Step 2: Consent Form


Ask the Client to ll in the Consent Form and go over the Contraindications
and Precautions with them. Make sure that the medical history of the Client
does not fall under any of the contraindications listed.

Step 3: Treatment Area selection


Select the area of treatment as selected by the Client. If the Client wants to
work on entire body, then start with the Abdomen area.

Step 4: Before Pictures


Take BEFORE pictures of the area under treatment. Make sure the pictures
are taken from the front, back, left and right sides. The distance should be
close enough to show the details of curves and creases on the area. Mark
the distance for consistency.

Step 5: Weight Measurements


Take the weight of the Client at the beginning of the session. This will help to
keep a track of weight gain or loss and the life style of the Client over the six
sessions.

Step 6: Measurement of the Treatment Area


Abdomen: Mark one inch above the naval center and one inch below the
naval center. Take measurements, in INCHES, at the naval, one inch above
the naval & one inch below the naval center. Record these measurements
in the Client Log book.

Rinse off remnants of Seaweed Gel


Remove the remnants of super conductive gel from the skin, using warm
towel, after removing the electrode pads and belt

G. Completion Steps
First Treatment: Re-measure client in targeted areas
Abdomen: Using the BEFORE marking take measurements, in INCHES, at the
naval, one inch above the naval and one inch below the naval center.
Record these measurements in the Client Log book. Calculate the
difference in the measurements.

First Treatment: Take AFTER picture


At the end of 6 sessions, Take AFTER pictures of the area treated. Make sure
pictures are taken both from the front and the side. It should be taken from a
close enough distance to show the details of curves and creases on the
area.

Explain the results


Make sure that after each treatment, the results showing the difference in
inches, is communicated to the client. This is an important way to motivate
the client. Document the feedback of the client to be able to understand
and satisfy their expectations.

Schedule the Next appointment


Based on how aggressively the client wants to get the results, the next
appointment should be scheduled. The difference between 2
appointments should not be more than 7 days. First 6 sessions we
recommend using within 2 weeks, because that's when customers get their
muscles conditioned and reprogrammed.

5. Session 1: Details And Electrode Positions
Quick Overview
Step 1: Place 2 belts in treatment area. If treating Abs, make sure Naval is in
the center of the 2 belts.
Step 2: Put gel on the black pads called electrodes.
Step 3: Classic Vector Stimulation

5
Session 1 Bio-electrical Stimulation :
Classic Vector Details
Classic Vector Bioelectrical stimulation (level 1- A Preparation).
Time: 30 min
Max Intensity: 100mAmp
This modality is very comfortable stimulation that gives a torsional
movement to the muscles. Correct positioning of the electrodes is essential
for optimal results. Refer to Appendix A for learning about Muscle structures
and positions to be able to identify the muscle belly and place the
electrodes. The body needs to adjust to the new sensation and treatments,
hence increase the intensity at a slow pace, taking feedback from Client
continuously.

Application:
Put the belts tightly 2 inch above and 2 inch below the naval center. This
will help to place and hold the electrodes securely in correct position.
Apply Seaweed Gel on the Carbon electrodes. Make sure it is applied
liberally, all over the electrodes. CAUTION: Lack of conductive gel gives
uncomfortable, itching or painful feeling and may cause skin irritation or
burn.
User Classic Vector Chart and place electrodes in a CROSS pattern on
the abdomen
Select Output 1 -> Classic Vector from the device.
Select START, to start the treatment on Output 1
Turn the knob clockwise to increase the intensity. NOTE: Increase
intensity in small steps and get constant feedback from the client for
his/her comfort level. First time increment could go up to 55mAmp. The
more the Client can take, the better results they will get.
Repeat above steps for Output 2 and Output 3.
Leave the stimulation for 10 min and then increase the intensity further, if
Client is comfortable.
NOTE: Make sure to continuously take Client feedback on the comfort
level. CAUTION: If the client seems to be uncomfortable, turn the
intensity down. If the client feels pinching or painful feeling on one or
two of the electrodes area, it's probably because of lack of conductive
gel. Turn all intensity down to 0; remove all the electrodes from that
6
output. Reapply conductive gel liberally. Place them back in the
correct position. Turn the intensity back up until Client is comfortable.
3 beeping sounds can be heard, per output, when the treatment time is
over. Remove the belt and electrodes from the treatment area.
CAUTION: It is important that each output is turned off before removing
the belt. Otherwise it will cause uncomfortable feeling. To be sure, press
STOP ALL before removing the belt.

Results:
Helps to break the fat cells from the muscles and initiate inch loss. This is really
great program for Cellulite reduction. It helps prepare the body for next
levels. It brings inch loss. Lot of blood circulation brings Lymphatic drainage
as well.

the center of the 2 belts.
Step 2: Put gel on the black pads called electrodes.
Step 3: POWER SEQUENCE

9
Session 2,3,4 : Power Sequence Details
Power Sequence Bioelectrical stimulation (level 2).
Time: 30 min
Max Intensity: 100mAmp
This is a very powerful modality that brings strong contraction and relaxation
to the muscles in a very controlled way. The frequency in this mode is
modulated such that it prevents immunization of the muscle caused by
rhythmic contraction-relaxation, reaching deeper into the muscle tissue
with each contraction until their maximum capacity is reached for a given
treatment phase. The movement is visible and the muscle hold is strongly felt
during the stimulation but does not hurt. It gets kick started after 3mins, so
keep the intensity upto comfortable levels.

Application:
Put the belts tightly 2 inch above and 2 inch below the naval center. This
will help to place and hold the electrodes securely in correct position.
Apply Seaweed Gel on the Carbon electrodes. Make sure it is applied
liberally, all over the electrodes. CAUTION: Lack of conductive gel gives
uncomfortable, itching or painful feeling and may even cause skin
irritation or burn.
User Power Sequence Chart and place electrodes as shown.
Select Output 1 -> Power Sequence from the device.
Select START, to start the treatment on Output 1
Turn the knob clockwise to increase the intensity. NOTE: Increase
intensity in small steps and get constant feedback from the client for
his/her comfort level. The waveform is programmed to feel stronger
after 3 mins. Hence make sure that the intensity is well within comfort
level for the client during that time. However, you do want to push the
limits up to maximum tolerance level to get good results.
Repeat above steps for Output 2 and Output 3.
Leave the stimulation for 10 min and then increase the intensity further, if
Client is comfortable. Note down the maximum intensity reached for
the session in the client log. NOTE: You would like to get maximum
intensity a little higher than the previous session. This pushes new limits of
the muscle tolerance.
NOTE: Make sure to continuously take Client feedback on the comfort
level. CAUTION: If the client seems to be uncomfortable, turn the
10
intensity down. If the client feels pinching or painful feeling on one or
two of the electrodes area, it's probably because of lack of conductive
gel. Turn all intensity down to 0; remove all the electrodes from that
output. Reapply conductive gel liberally. Place them back in the
correct position. Turn the intensity back up until Client is comfortable.
3 beeping sounds will be heard, per output, when the treatment time is
over.
Remove the belt and electrodes from the treatment area. CAUTION: It is
important that each output is turned off before removing the belt.
Otherwise it will cause uncomfortable feeling. To be sure, press STOP
ALL before removing the belt

Results:
This is the program that gets Toning, Firming and Muscle denition. It is
powerful work out that builds muscle bers. Body Contouring (apparent
Inch loss), Increased muscle strength and endurance are some of the key
benets of this program.

Step 3: DYNAMIC ROTATION

13
Sessions 5 And 6: Dynamic Rotation Details
Dynamic Rotation Bioelectrical stimulation (level 2).
Time: 30 min
Max Intensity: 100mAmp
This mode is unique and patented method of delivering stimulation effect to
the muscles. The frequency switches between 2 electrodes horizontally and
vertically. The effect of stimulation movement between the electrodes
induces lymphatic drainage, releasing the trapped fatty deposits while
increasing metabolism.

Application:
Put the belts tightly 2 inch above and 2 inch below the naval center. This
will help to place and hold the electrodes securely in correct position.
Apply Seaweed Gel on the Carbon electrodes. Make sure it is applied
liberally, all over the electrodes. CAUTION: Lack of conductive gel gives
uncomfortable, itching or painful feeling and may even cause skin
irritation or burn.
Use Dynamic Rotation Chart and place electrodes as shown.
Select Output 1 -> Dynamic Rotation from the device.
Select START, to start the treatment on Output 1
Turn the knob clockwise to increase the intensity. NOTE: Increase
intensity in small steps and get constant feedback from the client for
his/her comfort level. First time increment could go up to 65mAmp, but
DO NOT increase more than 80 for the rst session. However, you do
want to push the limits up to maximum tolerance level to get good
results.
Repeat above steps for Output 2 and Output 3.
Leave the stimulation for 10 min and then increase the intensity further, if
Client is comfortable. The muscle gets used to the sensation and to push
the tolerance and strength of the muscles around the abdominal wall,
intensity needs to be increased from time to time.
NOTE: Make sure to continuously take Client feedback on the comfort
level. CAUTION: If the client seems to be uncomfortable, turn the
intensity down. If the client feels pinching or painful feeling on one or
two of the electrodes area, it's probably because of lack of conductive
gel. Turn all intensity down to 0; remove all the electrodes from that
output. Reapply conductive gel liberally. Place them back in the
14
correct position. Turn the intensity back up until Client is comfortable.
3 beeping sounds can be heard, per output, when the treatment time is
over. Remove the belt and electrodes from the treatment area.
CAUTION: It is important that each output is turned off before removing
the belt. Otherwise it will cause uncomfortable feeling. To be sure, press
STOP ALL before removing the belt The timer will automatically start
and beep loudly for each of the output when the treatment time is over.
Remove the belt and electrodes from the treatment area. CAUTION: It is
important that each output is turned off before removing the belt.
Otherwise it will cause uncomfortable feeling. To be sure, press STOP
ALL before removing the belt.

Results:
Making these muscles contract in a particular sequence ensures that the
entire abdominal wall is stimulated, resulting in a tightening of the
abdominal tissues. This can contribute to a signicant change in the shape
of the waist area (apparent inch loss). Specially shows visible results on a
conditioned muscle group.

Appendix A
1. Positioning Electrodes for Optimal Stimulation
Whenever electrical stimulation is used to produce a strong but
comfortable muscle contraction, correct positioning of the electrodes is
essential for optimal results. The following section provides directions and
helpful hints in this regard.

General Principles for Correct Electrode Positioning


The correct positioning of electrodes is a simple concept and can be easily
adapted for most muscles and groups of muscles. As a general rule:
In most cases, two electrodes of equal size will be used to stimulate
each muscle.
The larger the muscle, the larger the electrodes should be. This will
reduce an uncomfortable sensation caused by concentration of the
current if the electrodes are too small.
If the electrodes are placed too close together, an uncomfortable
sensation may be felt as the current ow will concentrate in the area
between the two electrodes.
Ensure that the electrodes do not touch each other.
Large muscles anywhere in the body need electrodes placed on either
end of the muscle belly concerned.
A rm, even pressure should be applied to each electrode.
If an electrode gel is used, an even layer should be applied to the entire
electrode surface.

Specic Muscle Stimulation


(Refer to the body diagrams in Appendix B)

1.1 Abdominal muscles


The Abdominal muscles are arranged rather differently than other muscles
of the body. They form a muscular 'wall' at the front and sides of the lower
half of the trunk region, essentially from the Ribs to the Pelvis. At the front of
the abdomen, the left and right halves of the Rectus Abdminus are located.
These muscle bellies are segmented and when they are well dened, they
give rise to the familiar 'six pack' appearance. On either side of these
muscles, the Transverse and Oblique muscles are located. As their names
suggest, the muscle bers of the Transverse muscle run horizontally across

26
the abdomen, whereas the bers of the Oblique muscle run diagonally from
the lower ribs on one side to the pelvic crest on the other.

Two pairs of electrodes are placed on each side of the abdominal wall.
One pair follows the direction of each half (left and right) of the Rectus
Abdominus. The other two pairs are placed on the outside of each pair of
electrodes on the Rectus Abdominus muscles. It is important to ensure that
these electrodes are not touching each other and are not too close
together. Each pair of electrodes will be activated in the selected
stimulation of the various muscles, which forms the abdominal wall. In most
cases, the client will be sitting on the treatment table, slightly backward
from the upright position. They should be well supported with pillows under
the knees.

1.2 Arms Muscles


Biceps muscles
Two electrodes are placed on either end of the muscle, the lower one
located just above the Elbow joint. The upper electrode is located in the
mid-line, just below the front of the Deltoid muscle. During stimulation, the
forearm will ex in an upward direction if the Client is in a seated position.

Triceps muscles
Two electrodes are placed on either end of the muscle, the lower one
located just above the tip of the Elbow joint. The upper electrode is located
in the mid-line, just below the back of the Deltoid muscle. During
stimulation, the forearm will extend away from the body if the client is
seated with his or her upper limb resting on a table. The client will need to
bend their elbow into a exed position following each electrically induced
contraction.

1.3 Thighs Muscles


Quadriceps muscle group
In most individuals, the Quadriceps muscle groups are the largest muscle
masses in the body. They form the muscles on the front of each Thigh,
running in a spiral manner from the hip to the Knee. Since these muscles are
large, it is important to use a pair of large electrodes in order to achieve a
strong but comfortable contraction. The lower electrode is placed on the
inside and slightly above the Knee-cap. The upper electrode should be
placed slightly below and to the outside of the front of the Hip. In most
cases, the client will be sitting over the edge of the treatment table so that
his or her leg will extend as the muscle contracts.
27
Lateral Hamstring muscle
The Lateral Hamstring muscles form the large muscle mass on the outer side
of the back of each Thigh. A pair of large electrodes should be placed on
either end of the muscle to be stimulated. The lower electrode is located
just above the outer side of the back of the Knee. The upper electrode is
located approximately in the mid-line of the back of the Thigh, just below
the lower part of the Buttock. The client is usually comfortably positioned in
prone lying (facing the oor), with a pillow under the Abdomen and Ankle
regions.

Medial Hamstring muscles


The Medial Hamstring muscles form the large muscle mass on the inner side
of the back of each Thigh. A pair of large electrodes should be placed on
either end of the muscle to be stimulated. The lower electrode is located
just above the inner side of the back of the Knee. The upper electrode is
located approximately in the mid-line of the back of the Thigh, just below
the lower part of the Buttock. The client is usually comfortably positioned in
prone lying (facing the oor), with a pillow under the Abdomen and Ankle
regions.

1.4 Shoulder Muscles


Deltoid muscles
The Deltoid muscles are located on the front and back of each shoulder
