The Healing Arts Center Begins Offering BEMER Vascular Therapy In Its Clinics

BEMER (Bio-Electro Magnetic Energy Regulation) equipment

BEMER Stands For "Bio-Electromagnetic Energy Regulation"

The Healing Arts Center Student and Professional Clinics have begun offering BEMER vascular therapy as an add-on option to any therapeutic modality it currently offers. BEMER stands for Bio-Electromagnetic Energy Regulation. The working mechanism of BEMER consists of the transmission of a patented multi-dimensionally configured signal (waveform). This unique signal is transmitted into the

body via an electromagnetic field meaning that it is the BEMER signal and not the electromagnetic field that acts as the “agent” that stimulates the circulatory response. BEMER is designed to improve circulation thereby supporting the body’s natural self-regulating processes. Blood is the body’s universal means of transport. Oxygen, nutrients, chemical messengers (e.g., hormones) and immune cells are all transported through our blood. When our body’s cells, tissues and organs are adequately nourished and metabolic waste products are removed, our bodies become healthy and function properly. The optimal regulation of circulation is a prerequisite for ensuring good levels of health and fitness.

BEMER is not a disease-specific application. Its effect on the circulation and the resulting improvements to the supply and removal of substances to/from the body’s cells allows these cells to produce and supply increasing amounts of energy, and therefore carry out their tasks (production) in a more functional manner.

Pillossage™ Pillows Are Made With Flax Seeds, Can Be Heated and Deliver Relief Deep Into Joints and Tissues

Pillossage™ is a groundbreaking modality developed by Karen Kowal that combines hands-on techniques with her specially designed Mother Earth™ pillows. These thermal pillows are made of flax seed and are meant to be heated in order to help therapists loosen muscles and connective tissue in preparation for, and during, bodywork sessions.

Karen has also developed a considerable body of technique known to professionals around the country as Pillossage™. This modality helps to prolong and accelerate healing, rehabilitation, and improve quality of life for patients with chronic pain issues. Therapists who offer Pillossage™ treatment can also offer Mother Earth Pillows™ for sale to clients.

The Pillossage™ modality is ideal for therapists who are looking for techniques that provide a unique and skillful approach to chronic pain and that can stand alone or be integrated with other modalities.

Benefits and results achieved will last far beyond the massage session. The Pillossage™ modality has an added advantage in that it can reduce strain on the therapist and still impact deep tissues. As you learn the 'dance of Pillossage™, you will find easier and easier ways to offer deep therapy without harming yourself in the process.

Now You Can Take The HAC Massage Therapy Professional Identity Survey

7/17/2015

Comments

Recently, The Healing Arts Center conducted a survey of its students to determine how they saw the massage therapy profession and themselves in it. The results were surprising. Clearly there is a disconnect between the way licensed massage therapists see themselves and the way players in the market see them. This has explained a lot about why there is such an enormous shortage of LMTs nationwide and yet massage schools are closing everywhere because the students are just being not drawn to the profession.

You can take a portion of the HAC identification survey for yourself. The results will be published in approximately two weeks. Please only take this survey once.
