This is a great question, and there are a few ways you can tell that you are making progress with your healing process.

You will feel your pain decrease gradually over time as you heal, and it should become easier to move around over time as well. Everyone is different, but many people feel a definite decrease in pain and more ease of movement around the third week of using the BFST 3-4x daily, if not sooner. If you have an older or more severe injury, it may take some additional time to feel these results. The more consistent you are with using the BFST 3-4x daily, the better your results will be.

There's another way you can tell that you are making healing progress. When you begin your treatments, you should use the BFST on level 1. As your treatments go on, you will notice that you feel less and less heat over time. That decrease in warmth is felt in response to your circulation increasing, which means that you are making healing progress. When the warmth has faded almost entirely and is barely there for an entire 20 minute treatment, that's how you know that your circulation has improved enough to move up to level 2.

One crucial thing to know about the healing process is that when your pain has mostly gone, and you haven't had a flare up in a while, that indicates that your injury is about 30% healed. To ensure that your injury heals completely, continue using the BFST for a month or two after your pain has gone.

Other good indications of healing include when you can exercise and do normal activities without pain during or afterwards. When you notice that your range of motion is more normal, and your pain and swelling are completely gone, that also indicates that your injury is recovered. However, you can continue to use the BFST preventively by using it once a day, or maybe several times a week, in order to maintain the increase in circulation. This will keep the healed area strong and prevent reinjury.

The Top Shoulder BFST and Top Shoulder ColdCure have a large treatment area, and can treat most of the shoulder, focusing on the top area of the shoulder. This is usually ideal for treating frozen shoulder.

The BFST works to increase your blood flow and heal the soft tissue in the entire area that you treat. The ColdCure is extremely effective at reducing pain, swelling, and inflammation through the use of cold therapy.

The BFST does not pulsate or vibrate during treatments. You can expect to feel a gentle warming sensation during the twenty minute treatments - some people also feel a slight tingling, but not everyone experiences that.

The BFST produces electromagnetic energy in order to increase the circulation and heal the soft tissue - the warmth you feel is just a byproduct of that energy. The BFST is not like a TENS unit - TENS units use electrical stimulation to shock your nerve endings, and TENS units are not effective on soft tissue injuries. The BFST is very different - the treatments actually heal you rather than just treating the pain.

When you have a full/complete tear of the muscles, tendons, or ligaments, the tissue has been completely severed, leaving no place where it is still connected. This means that healing a complete tear is more difficult than healing a partial tear.

It is possible to heal a complete tear using the BFST, but it typically means a longer recovery time, typically 1-2 years, and it may still require surgery. Being consistent with the BFST by using it 3-4 times daily is essential. As always, everyone's bodies and injuries are different, so what is required to heal a partial tear may be different from person to person.

However, the BFST's main job is to increase your circulation, which results in healing and strengthening the soft tissue in the entire area that you treat. Even if you do end up needing to have surgery, you can use the BFST to assist your recovery after the procedure.

The Ankle BFST and Ankle ColdCure are ideal for treating peroneal tendonitis or peroneal tendon injuries. The coverage area of these wraps can be viewed by clicking the link below.

The ColdCure reduces inflammation, pain, and swelling, and the BFST increases blood flow, resulting in healing the muscles, tendons, and ligaments in the whole area that you treat.
