Microcurrent that Heather uses:
Alpha Stim
MPS Scar Release
Deep Vagal Stim
Alpha Stim increases your alpha brain wave activity and is an FDA cleared prescription medical device that offers relief from anxiety/PTSD, insomnia, depression, and pain.
The Alpha-Stim cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES) device delivers a natural level of microcurrent via small clips worn on your earlobes. The microcurrent is tiny, just millionths of an ampere, and so gentle that most people don’t even feel it.
By increasing alpha brain ways you improve the body's ability to become profoundly calm and to better enter a healing state. Results are long lasting and often immediate. This treatment can provide anxiety relief, mood normalization, and better sleep (both in quality and duration). It also can offer relief of post-traumatic, acute and chronic pain.
Alpha stim pairs beautifully with craniosacral therapy and the biomat!
Deep Vagal Stim
MPS Scar Release
Deep Vagal Stim
Stimulating the vagus nerve has a profound affect on the body in many ways! In most people the vagus nerve is traumatized by stress, disease, viruses, surgeries, emotions, etc. and is not functioning properly. This impairs it's ability to function which is significant since it governs your body's ability to rest, digest food, and heal. This treatment is only recommended for 15 min because it is so effective, but it can be paired with other treatment types and can also be layered with Alpha stim if you would like to also activate alpha brain waves during your session. And like the Alpha stim it also pairs very nicely with the biomat and Craniosacral therapy.

MPS Scar release Micro-Current Point Stimulation
Scars interfere with function not just from a soft tissue perspective, but also neurologically! Caesarian section scars are especially destructive and will cause dysfunction in the abdomen, hips, legs, feet and can lead to idiopathic pain. I always ask about C-sections for this reason! They need to be treated. This technique will soften the tissue and renew electrical (nervous system signaling) impulses through it.
This is a hand held tool that emits direct current (electric stimulation) and is beneficial for many different issues depending on polarity and how it is used. Heather will use it frequently for:
*softening and releasing scar tissue
*decreasing pain
*increase strength or muscle recruitment
*decreasing tightness and softening the tissues
*decrease peripheral swelling (edema)
*This option can be added to any on-site treatment*
