2. Have sufficient rest after the therapy and avoid strenuous activities.
Contraindications:
Not suitable for patients with weak body constitution, pregnant women, postpartum, bleeding disorder, infectious skin disease, severe cardiovascular disease, severe anemia and low blood pressure. Please consult your physician if unsure.
