Sometimes areas of tension or injury are too tense or tender to treat with  therapeutic methods such asneuromuscualr/deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy or cross-fiber friction. Massage cupping is a gentle, non-invasive way to soften broad areas of tension so that more specific massage techniques can be comfortably applied. Massage cupping is especially effective for chronic pain, tightness, and spasms that are resistant to traditional therapies.

Breast thermography is radiation free, non-invasive, FDA approved,relatively inexpensive, and detects early, potentially reversible physiologic changes associated with later development of breast cancer. “The potential to detect pre-cancerous changes is the real value of thermography” says Dr. Monica Gavin. “Early detection of tumors is not really prevention. True prevention is about identifying women, or more specifically breasts, that are at risk for developing tumors, and thermography does just that.”

The abnormalities thermography detects (like hyperthermia suggestive of inflammation and angiogenesis; metabolic changes suggestive of hormone imbalances) are correctable through nutritional and lifestyle interventions.

Thermography is also used to detect early signs of cardiovascular, diabetic and inflammatory diseases.  As a detection/prevention tool, thermography is used to assist your healthcare provider in locating areas of concern for further evaluation and treatment. Early detection means you have more time to make lifestyle  adjustments that can CHANGE YOUR OUTCOME!    Visit www.getthermographynow.com.

Start your own personal program for prevention.  You deserve a long an healthy life, and thermography can give you the opportunity to make that happen.  Schedule online today.

We live in a toxic environment.  Chemicals in our water, food and air contribute to respiratory, digestive and elminiation problems, to name a few.  Years of exposure can lead to various forms of cancer!   Removing toxins improves health and wellness by ridding your body of unwanted chemicals, pesticides, herbicides and heavy metals.  .  What are these toxins doing to us?   What are the symptoms of toxic exposure?

Kangen Water is  electrolyzed, alkalized, micro-clustered to leach toxins and free radicals from your body while balancing it for improved health and well-being.   Balancing your bodies pH improves function and reduces symptoms that result in disease.  A balanced body is a health one.

In 1931 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine for this important discovery. Dr. Warburg was director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute (now Max Planck Institute) for cell physiology at Berlin. He investigated the metabolism of tumors and the respiration of cells, particularly cancer cells. Below are some direct quotes by Dr. Warburg during medical lectures where he was the keynote speaker:

“Cancerous tissues are acidic, whereas healthy tissues are alkaline. Water splits into H+ and OH- ions, if there is an excess of H+, it is acidic; if there is an excess of OH- ions, then it is alkaline.”

Wellness is on everyone’s mind as healthcare prices soar and coverage plummets.  We are tired of pills, shots, surgeries and other means that are only masking or reducing the symptoms, not fixing the root cause of our problems.  We want our money’s worth when it comes to our healthcare.  Where do we get it and how does it work?

The human body is 80% soft tissue.  Many illnesses are soft tissue related.  The majority of pain occurs in the muscles, tendons or ligaments, which are soft tissue and need someone that understands their mechanics in order to reduce the pain and promote healing.  Where does one go for such work?  Who is qualified to work on these issues?  What type of treatment will help these conditions?

Massage Therapists are Soft Tissue Specialists with advanced training in the anatomy, physiology and the mechanics of the human body.  They understand how muscles and connective tissue function and interact.   Imbalance results in a host of maladies that are not only treatable, but preventable through regular massage therapy, stretching and exercise.

One hour/week will be your best ally in preventing many forms of pain and dis-ease.  Aside from being extremely effective in relieving stress, there is scientific evidence showing that massage helps with a variety of conditions, such as:

➔  Adhesions, scars and stretch marks

➔  Anxiety

➔  Arthritis

➔  Asthma

➔  Back and body pain, stiffness and soreness

➔  Chronic and acute pain

➔  Depression

➔  Easing birth labor

➔  Edema and swelling

➔  Fatigue

➔  Fibromyalgia

➔  Headaches

➔  High blood pressure

➔  Improved mental focus

➔  Improved immune function

➔  Improved mobility

➔  Increased productivity

➔  Joint pain

➔  Muscle strains and sprains

➔  Post-traumatic stress disorder

➔  Relaxation

➔  Sleep Disorders

➔  Sports Injuries

➔  STRESS

➔  Tendonitis

➔  Trauma

➔  Whiplash

Massage is an ancient art of healing.  I discovered massage following an accident that resulted in extreme pain and reduced function.  It has given my life back and I have vowed to share the healing power of touch with those desiring a better quality of life through natural means.

So, if you are ready to feel better and maintain your health, make massage a part of your wellness program.  Our therapists’ training includes:  Neuromuscular, Cranio-Sacral, Manual Lymph Drainage, Orthopedic, Cupping, Trauma, Chronic and Acute Pain, and much more.

This form of massage stimulates the lymphatic system with gentle massaging strokes.  This delicate technique eliminates waste, toxins, excess fluid and bacteria from the body via the lymphatic system.  The effects are numerous and include general benefits to the nervous and muscular systems.  MLD is a great addition to other detox measures, as it encourages lymphatic fluid flow in the connective tissues.  It also promotes detoxification, facilitates healing and supports the immune system.  A MUST for pre and post surgery.  MLD reduces swelling, enhances the healing process, reduces scarring and adhesions.

 Most insurance companies cover  MLD with a physicians prescription.   COVERAGE

Like BodyTalk, Animal Talk is designed to re-establish good communication within an animal’s body. Animal Talk supports the resynchronization of the animal’s internal systems to provide fluid communication between the various components of the body, thus keeping the body sound and less vulnerable to disease.  AnimalTalk, which is more oriented to the animl professional, can be used on domestic animals or on wild animals alike As the sessions are done by “short-distance”, there is no hands-on contact with the animal, thus making it safe for the animal and AnimalTalk Practitioner.

http://www.bodytalksystem.com/learn/bodytalk/specialty_training.cfm

The BodyTalk treatment protocol is straightforward. The practitioner relies on the guidance of the animal’s natural wisdom to not only locate the weakened lines of communication but also to find the proper order in which they are to be addressed. Children and animals respond well to the treatment.

Testimonials

• Miracle was a happy but anxious retreiver.  Her owner had difficulty controlling her.  She was implsive and all over everyone that come to their home.  When Animal Talk was performed, it revealed trauma at birth.  Balancing that and other links calmed Miracle down greatly.  Her owners report that she is a happy and well behaved 80+ lb pup!




• Lily was the family cat that got very ill when her grandmother went to the hospital for hip replacement.  Her owner brought her in for Animal Talk.  Lilly was upset  and angry that she was left alone and missed granny very much.  Following the session, she was playing on the treatment floor and her owner reports no more sickness!

• Linda was scheduled for carpal tunnel surgery in 6 weeks when she was referred to Kim for help. After several weeks of massage therapy, Linda was feeling good and canceled the surgery. Two weeks following the cancellation, she arrived at the office with a lot of pain in her hands. Kim took the initiative and performed muscle testing to ask Linda’s innate wisdom what therapy was needed, her innate wanted BodyTalk. Kim later received a phone call from Linda saying that her hands felt great! She wasn’t sure what Kim had done or how BodyTalk worked, but was grateful it had. Linda is doing well and continues to see Kim regularly for massage and BodyTalk. ~ Linda A., Orange Park, FL
• “I suffered from allergies for 10 years. Nothing was helping.   The diet I had to adhere to was very restrictive and depressed my family as I couldn’t enjoy simple things like ice cream with them. I was referred to BodyTalk for treatment.  I was very skeptical. As a nurse with knowledge of the immune system and allergies, I didn’t expect much but wanted results. To my surprise in just 3 sessions, I was able to drink milk for the first time in years!  I was so astounded that I became a BodyTalk practitioner.     I want to share this wonderful healing technique with everyone! It’s the greatest!” ~ Julia S., Ponte Vedra, FL
• “My doctor referred me to see Kim following an auto accident. I was in so much pain throughout my body.  The headaches were so severe I couldn’t think clearly.  After several BodyTalk sessions, the headaches cleared up and I could think again.  The stress of the accident reduced greatly and I was able to drive without fear of anything happening to me.” ~Sherica M., Jacksonville, FL
• “I was scheduled for hip replacement surgery when I was introduced to BodyTalk. I was suffering with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) from previous surgeries. Just the thought of having surgery again frightened me so bad that I went into shock!  After 3 BodyTalk treatments, I could think about the surgery with minimal fear.  After the surgery, I received more treatments and my recovery was phenomenal! I was able to move from wheelchair to walker to cane within 48 hours!  I felt better than I had in more than 5 years!  The nurses kept asking me how I was able to heal so fast, and I kept telling them, “It’s the BodyTalk!”   Thank you, Kim for introducing me to this wonderful system of healing!”            ~ Coleman T., Jacksonville, FL

time to look into getting a

flexible spending account (FSA), health savings account (HSA), or medical savings account (MSA).

Did you know that you can use these accounts for a variety of things…including Therapeutic Massage, Natural Healing and Hydrotherapy?

Based on the federal tax code, a qualified expense “must be to alleviate or prevent a physical or mental defect or illness.”

If you’re like the majority of our clients, you deal with a host of conditions that cause/contribute to chronic pain, stress, and other issues affecting your quality of life.  In order for Natural Healing, Therapeutic Massage or Aqua-Chi (hydrotherapy) to  be covered, there are a few steps you’ll need to take:

1.)  Get a prescription for manual therapies and/or hydrotherapy. You’ll need a prescription for these for it to count as a qualified medical expense. Talk to your medical practitioner (any healthcare provider who can write a prescription).  The prescription makes it medically necessary and should be covered.

Make sure the prescription contains the proper information. The prescription should contain three pieces of information: Length of treatment, duration, reason for prescribing therapies. An example may look like this: Monthly 90-minute therapeutic massage to treat chronic pain in upper back. Or Hydrotherapy for diabetic neuropathy, swelling/edema, etc.  Get the idea?!

2.)  Schedule your appointment. You won’t need to bring your prescription with you.

3.)  Get a “medical receipt” for your session. When you check in, let us know that you’ll need the receipt to submit. We’ll give you a receipt that has the documentation you need (such as insurance classification code and description of the therapeutic service). We can either print the receipt or e-mail it to you. And remember that even though an expense is approved, you could still get audited by the IRS. So keep your written prescription and your FSA debit or credit card statement.

If you don’t have an FSA or an HSA and are wondering what they are, here are some broad definitions:

 

A flexible spending account (FSA) is a tax-advantaged financial account that allows an employee to set aside a portion of his or her earnings to pay for qualified expenses, most commonly for medical expenses, and is offered through an employer’s cafeteria plan. Money deducted from an employee’s pay into an FSA is not subject to payroll taxes, resulting in a substantial payroll tax savings. The medical expense FSA (also medical FSA or health FSA), is similar to a health savings account (HSA), but medical FSAs are commonly offered with more traditional health plans. With most FSA, you must use up your funds each year.

An HSA is a tax-advantaged medical savings account available to people who are enrolled in a high deductible health plan. The funds contributed to the account are not subject to federal income tax at the time of deposit. HSAs are owned by the individual, and funds may be used to pay for qualified medical expenses at any time without federal tax liability. Unlike an FSA, funds roll over to the next year if not spent.If you don’t have one of these accounts, look into them now and reap the benefits!Health Savings of AmericaUS Govt GSA info
