Classic Scenar

Scenar Pro deviceClassic Scenar is a term that describes the family of Scenar devices developed by OKB Ritm in Russia (and their joint venture manufacturer Ritmedic in the Netherlands), and the majority of other Scenar manufacturers who almost all use similar technology.

The OKB Ritm/Ritmedic devices use the original Scenar signal and development in this area has focused on improving the Scenar device's ergonomics and functions, and, above all, the techniques for using it. The device shown here is a Scenar Pro from Ritmedic.

In this respect, one of the original development team, Professor Alexander Revenko, has been instrumental in developing a wide (and very complex) range of Scenar techniques. Scenar training courses are available in three main levels followed by more advanced master classes.

 

Scenar Therapy Techniques

Most professional classic Scenar devices give the therapist the choice of working in two modes, both of which are generally used in an alternating fashion at different stages in a course of treatment, and depending on the type of condition being treated:

 

Scenar Subjective Mode

"Subjective" mode, which is more intuitive and focused on observing visible or tactile reactions in the skin, and the client's responses. This generally uses one or more of several "brushing" techniques to look for areas of disturbance.

 

Energy blockages in these areas may be so strong (especially with fresh, acute conditions) that it's physically difficult to move the Scenar over them until the blockage has been cleared by repeated brushing. It's difficult to describe but once you've felt this "stickiness", you'll understand.

 

Scenar CloseupScenar Objective Mode

The other mode is "Objective" and this uses a wide range of formal protocols, where decisions on where to treat are based on comparisons of numerical readings on the display. Especially with chronic conditions, an Objective assessment is often the first technique used, placing the Scenar on a series of precise zones on the back. 

During a course of treatments, several basic Scenar protocols are usually used, each designed to bring large body systems into alignment. The Scenar philosophy is to treat all systems connecting to the pain condition, and to mix things up so that the body can't adapt and move back into a negative equilibrium (which is what it has been doing with the condition until now) before it has achieved the result we're seeking. 

 

 

 

 

About the author: Paul Lowe has Scenar practices near Brighton in Sussex. He tackles many issues including back pain and issues of the joints (slipped disc, sciatica, rheumatoid and osteo arthritis, frozen shoulder, carpal tunnel, RSI), neurological (migraines, IBS, TMJ, RSD, fibromyalgia), burns, wounds and sports injuries. 

 

Don Elwick - Managing Director, Brighton Media Centre (Cracked Ribs)

"December 21st, 2009, I went out running, slipped on some ice, and fell heavily on my back. A nurse and a doctor both confirmed I had two or three cracked ribs. I spent the next week hardly sleeping due to the painDecember 29th, I saw Paul Lowe for a Scenar treatment, and that night I slept properly again. Over the next few days, almost all the pain had gone, and the ribs were back to normal. I had Scenar again and on January 4th, the doctor found it hard to believe there was nothing left from the accident - broken ribs normally take at least 6 weeks to heal."

Venus Villa, First Artist, The English National Ballet, London             (Leg injury)

"I had a very painful injury to my leg (compartment syndrome), and I tried several therapies. Scenar was the best for really deep healing, even when I was dancing for seven hours a day. Thank you Paul."

Marco Crivello, Artist, Lewes, Sussex (Shoulder + Back Pain)

"I had acute pain in my right shoulder. I tried osteopathy and cranio-sacral over several weeks, but with negligible results. Paul treated me with Scenar daily for four days, and by the end I was pain-free. On another occasion, I was in acute pain months after Achilles tendon surgery -- after one treatment from Paul, the pain went away. I also threw my back out twice. Each time, one Scenar treatment was enough to put it back to normal."

Stephane Davies-Arai, Sculptor, Lewes, Sussex (Sciatica)

"I was rushed to hospital on three occasions and given four strong painkillers including morphine. I finally collapsed at work in agony, unable to walk. After 10 treatments with Paul, I was able to stop the painkillers and drive 80 miles to a work event. Six months on, I'm still pain free."

Tim Cornwall - Private Hire Driver, Herstmonceaux, Sussex (Slipped Disc)

"I've had hip and lower back problems for over 30 years. This episode was the worst I've had for two years: I could hardly walk or drive and I had to give work away. Until now, I'd go to the chiropractor for several treatments and take at least three weeks to recover. With Paul it took four days and four Scenar treatments to get back to normal. On day 1, I could barely walk. On day 3, I took the dog for a one-hour walk."

John Hayward -  Landscaper,        Westham, Sussex               (Neck + Shoulder Pain, Arm/hand nerve damage)

"The pain had reached levels that stopped my physical workload. The diagnosis was nerve compression due to an injury to the C5/6/7 vertebrae. I now faced the prospect of surgery to install metal inserts... After four Scenar treatments, I was able to stop the painkillers... After three months and 10 treatments, I can also report... ability to sleep on my side again, write and sign my signature fluently again, turn my head fully to the right and left... Six months later, I'm doing heavy physical work again as part of my job, and despite needing occasional top-ups, I'm basically pain-free. Altogether, a phenomenal success."
