How to Use the Rx by Orthrex Machine
Usage Instructions
1. Preparation
Clean and dry the area of the body you intend to treat.
Make sure Rx is fully charged or connected to a power source before starting.
2. Setting Up
Turn on the device by pressing the power button.
Adjust the intensity level based on your comfort and therapy needs. Beginners should start with a low-intensity setting and gradually increase as needed.
3. Application
Hold the device directly against the skin over the target area. For best results, move the device in slow, circular motions to cover the entire area.
Recommended treatment time is 5-10 minutes per area, up to twice a day. Avoid treating the same area more than twice within a 24-hour period.
4. Post-Treatment
Turn off the device and store it in a cool, dry place.
Clean the device according to the manufacturer's instructions (typically, a soft, damp cloth can be used to wipe the surface).

How to Use the Liquid Gel Insoles
Usage Instructions
1. Preparation
Remove any existing insoles from your shoes to create space for the Orthrex Liquid Gel Insoles.
Ensure your shoes are clean and dry to provide a proper fit.
2. Inserting the Insoles
Slide the insole into your shoe, ensuring that it sits flat against the bottom.
Make sure the arch support aligns comfortably with the arch of your foot and that the heel cup sits snugly at the back of the shoe.
For Magnetic Gel Insoles, position the magnets according to the instructions to ensure maximum benefit.
3. Testing for Fit
Walk around briefly to check for comfort. The insoles should feel snug but comfortable, providing support without any pinching or discomfort.
If needed, you can trim the insole along the front edge to fit your shoe size.
4. Daily Wear
Start by wearing the insoles for 2-3 hours on the first day and gradually increase wear time each day until you are comfortable wearing them for extended periods.
Replace insoles every 12-24 months, depending on wear and tear, for optimal support and comfort.
Cautions
- Avoid Overuse: If you feel discomfort, remove the insoles and allow your feet to rest. Gradually increase usage time to avoid overloading your feet.
- Consult Your Doctor: If you have a foot condition such as plantar fasciitis or flat feet, consult a healthcare professional to ensure the insoles are suitable for your needs.
- Magnetic Insoles: For the magnetic insole variant, consult your doctor if you have a pacemaker or other medical device, as magnets may interfere with these devices.
Safety Measures
- Keep Away from Children: Small parts, including magnets, may pose a choking hazard for children. Store safely.
- Machine Wash Instructions: You can wash the insoles in a washing machine using a short program with a recommended temperature of 20°C, not exceeding 30°C.
- Proper Footwear: Wear the insoles with closed, supportive footwear. Using them in loose or unsupportive shoes may reduce their effectiveness.
