Massage therapists versed in prenatal massage know how to position and support the woman’s body during the massage, modify techniques, and avoid certain areas and techniques during pregnancy.
The Art of Massage with Bioelectric Massage Energy Therapy Combine with Therapeutic Massage. Every masseur’s touch is Bio-Energy internal healing. Used for centuries to balance your P.H level by detoxing the acid out from your body and leaving more alkaline. No more medicine, shots, pain, and/ or stiffness. Flushes toxins, stimulates the nervous system, and as your trigger points and joints are stimulated to release and flush away the acid toxins, it leaves you rejuvenated and 10 times more comfortable than regular massage.
Bioelectric massage is based in traditional Chinese medicine, specifically, the practice of stimulating the energy meridians within the body. It is the perfect combination of traditional Chinese medical theory and modern bioelectricity principles.
For people in pain, this is a safe and drug-free option, which prompts the body to produce endorphins to help to relieve pain.
Bioelectric massage incorporates massage therapy rather than acupuncture to enhance your body’s own bioelectricity by generating a bioelectric field to stimulate the meridians. Used with the specially formulated cream, it ultimately aids in regulating your body’s acid-base balance (ph.)
Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine in which a therapist puts special cups on your skin for a few minutes to create suction. Cupping can serve several purposes such as help with pain, inflammation, blood flow, relaxation and well-being, and as a type of deep-tissue massage.

It serves to the warm the meridian to expel toxins and to promote blood circulation and an analgesic effect enabling healing.
Used for thousands of years in China, acupressure applies the same principles as acupuncture to promote relaxation and wellness and to treat disease. Acupressure is often thought of as simply acupuncture without the needles.
Acupressure is just one of a number of Asian bodywork therapies (ABT) with roots in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Examples of other Asian bodywork therapies are medical qigong and Tuina and now bioelectric massage. Shiatsu is also a Japanese form of acupressure.
Traditional Chinese medical theory describes special acupoints, or acupressure points, that lie along meridians, or channels, in your body. These are the same energy meridians and acupoints as those targeted with acupuncture. It is believed that through these invisible channels flows vital energy — or a life force called qi (ch’i). It is also believed that these 12 major meridians connect specific organs or networks of organs, organizing a system of communication throughout your body. The meridians begin at your fingertips, connect to your brain, and then connect to an organ associated with a certain meridian.
According to this theory, when one of these meridians is blocked or out of balance, illness can occur. Acupressure and acupuncture are among the types of TCM that are thought to help restore balance.
Acupressure practitioners use their fingers, palms, elbows or feet, or special devices to apply pressure to acupoints on the body’s meridians. Sometimes, acupressure also involves stretching or acupressure massage, as well as other methods.
During an acupressure session, you lie fully clothed on a soft massage table. The practitioner gently presses on acupressure points on your body. A session typically lasts about one hour. You may need several sessions for the best results.
The goal of acupressure or other types of Asian bodywork is to restore health and balance to the body’s channels of energy and to regulate opposing forces of yin (negative energy) and yang (positive energy). Some proponents claim acupressure not only treats the energy fields and body but also the mind, emotions, and spirit. Some even believe that therapists can transmit the vital energy (external qi) to another person.

One of the most promising benefits of gua sha is its effect on the immune system. When this treatment is performed, the immune system is activated, allowing the body to speed up its natural healing process.
In Asian culture, gua sha is often used in the case of illness to “let the sickness escape.” Gua sha therapy is anti-inflammatory, which can help dramatically reduce myalgia muscle pain. It also “has a therapeutic impact in inflammatory conditions, such as active chronic hepatitis, where liver inflammation indicates organ breakdown that over time can lead to premature death” (source). No matter your condition, a gua sha treatment can help soothe your muscles.

Tui Na, or tuina, is a therapeutic form of massage and has been used in China for more than 5,000 years. Defined as “the ancient healing art of fingers and strength,” tui na (pronounced “twee nah”) has been gaining international attention for its safe and effective treatment for a wide variety of conditions.
Every cell and organ in the body has its own distinctive Vibrational Frequency or Oscillation. When these oscillations are disrupted, whether by injury, diet, stress or emotion, it results in a disruption of that biological function. Which when not addressed, can bring about fatigue, depression, illness, disease and even death. Over the past 20 years, more than 120,000 of these Vibrational Frequencies have been isolated, identified and cataloged. Knowing what the optimum oscillation or frequencies of these cells and organs are, can assist in determining the root cause of an individual’s health status when these frequencies are compared to the individual scanned results.
Sympathetic Vibration can then be sent back into the body to encourage the organ, tissue, etc. that is not within their homeostatic range to move back towards the ideal range.

Ionic Foot detox is a foot soak that uses water charged with positive and negative ions – electrolytes – which helps draw toxins from your body out through your feet through a process of exchange between the positive and negative ions in your body, and their opposite numbers in the water.
While your feet are in the water, positive and negative ions are emitted by the foot bath system. This reenergizes the body, along with red blood cells. It eliminates toxins that are stored in fat, kidneys, liver, bowels, and skin. The foot bath also triggers the body’s lymphatic system, which helps with continued detoxification for up to 24-48 hours after the session.

By inducing a mild electrical magnetic current into damaged cells, PEMF therapy slows or stops the release of pain and inflammatory mediators, increases blood flow of the cells, and re-establishes normal cell interaction. With reduced inflammation, pain decreases, energy increases, and faster tissue healing occurs.”
PEMF stands for Pulsed Electromagnetic Field. Devices that utilize PEMF technology emit electromagnetic waves at different frequencies in order to stimulate and encourage your body’s natural recovery process. You’re probably wondering how PEMF technology can benefit your body when other electromagnetic fields – like those produced by microwaves and x-ray machines – are harmful. According to Bulletproof, “frequency and duration make all the difference.” The waves created by PEMF devices occur in brief bursts and are very low-frequency, like the electromagnetic waves found in nature. In fact, most waves involved in PEMF treatments have a lower frequency than you would be exposed to during a thunderstorm.
