Bioflex Laser

 

Laser therapy, low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or photobiomodulation utilizes visible light radiation to create a photochemical reaction within the body’s cells which initiates a cascade of complex physiological reactions, leading to the restoration of normal cell structure and function. BIOFLEX Laser technology employs superluminous diodes to irradiate diseased or traumatized tissue with photons.

Cupping

 

Cupping, or myofascial decompression, is an ancient therapy. It is a mechanically simple, safe and effective therapy with many positive benefits. It can diminish musculoskeletal pain allowing for a deeper massage treatment and improve blood circulation and lymphatic flow.

Cups create a partial vacuum on tissues where the cup is placed. The vacuum draws the tissues up and into the cup and away from the underlying structures. It is important to note that residual marks can remain on the treated areas for a few days following a treatment. Different skin types and the condition of the body are factors that can affect duration of the marks.

Cupping is a safe therapy however there are health conditions which would preclude its use. These are:

  • those who suffer from serious heart conditions

  • cancer patients

  • cupping over abdomen or lower back of pregnant women

  • persons suffering from a fever

  • skin lesions, abrasions, open sores, sunburns

  • over injection sites

  • children or the elderly - those with a weaker constitution

  • lymphatic cancer

  • over herniated discs

  • persons with Deep Vein Thrombosis (aka blood clots) or any clotting disorders
