A Pain FREEdom Session..
All you need is a little time and effort.
Many of the clients I've worked with are already taking advantage of this healing treatment I'm sharing with all of you here- free of charge, of course. I want to share this with all of you because I continue to hear how effective this treatment has been for my clients who have used it and how effective it's been for me. The treatment is a contrast treatment using both hot and cold applications on the affected area. This form of hydrotherapy creates a pumping action within the blood vessels intensifying the flow of blood into the area. Heat expands the blood vessels and cold constricts. When alternating the two back and forth the pumping action results. Blood heals. I relate it to our own living experience. We need oxygen and nutrients to keep ourselves alive and thriving. Our inner physiological world reflects this same need. Our blood carries nutrients and oxygen which feeds and fuels our entire system. When blood circulation is increased/amplified, things heal. It's as simple as that (mostly). Perhaps many of you have heard of blood referred to as "life force energy." It totally is. Totally.
Contrast Treatment- Hot/ Cold Immersion: This is often used for fingers, hands, wrist, forearm, elbow, ankle, foot, toes, calf. The immersion penetrates deep into connective tissue and is great for increasing blood flow to ligaments and tendons within joints.
Two containers large enough to submerge the area being treated
One container filled with icy cold water
One container filled with hot water (adjust temp comfortable and safe for you- use caution with hot temps)
Immerse affected are into container
Start with hot
Hot for 1 minute
Cold for 30 seconds
Alternate back and forth 8 times
End with cold
Contrast Treatment- Hot/Cold Packs: This treatment can be used easily on any area.
Heating pad or any heat holding item
Ice pack, frozen bag of peas or corn- anything that conforms nicely to affected area
Start with heat pack
Heat for 2-4 minutes
Ice for 1-2 minutes
Alternate back and forth 8 times
End with ice
Please feel free to contact me with questions regarding this treatment or anything healing and health related. My email is always operating and I'm happy to pass on any knowledge I have that's helpful. I've been playing around with healing and wellness techniques for 12 years. I've experienced consistently with my clients, how simple it can be to heal pain. A few things are required in the process- effort, maintenance, and a good attitude.
My best,
