MPS devices use concentrated DC microcurrent (the same as our nervous systems) as opposed to AC currents used with TENS units.⁣
⁣
🌿 DC (direct current) is naturally occurring in nature and our bodies.⁣
🌱 Applied to therapeutically active points, (trigger and acupuncture).⁣
🌿 Applied to linear or keyloid scars to help stimulate collagen and realign fibres.⁣
🌱 Helps relax muscles⁣
🌿 Aids the body into a parasympathetic state, increases heart rate variability vagal nerve stimulation⁣

⁣
MPS is also effective in greatly reducing pain associated with scarring. Increasing the skin’s intercellular metabolism, protein synthesis and stimulates regeneration to reduce dermal adhesion and fascial restriction.⁣
⁣
Working bilaterally along scars and capping at the ends it is possible to achieve localized cellular release and electrical reconnection in the body to restore optimal function.⁣

Cold season is in full swing, many of us are bumping up the vitamin C intake, but have you considered manual lymphatic treatments??⁣
⁣
⁣
Manual lymphatic drainage or lymphatic drainage therapy is an incredibly relaxing, gentle but powerful treatment that aims at restoring or improving the flow of lymph within the body. ⁣

💥LDT can be used on the lungs and abdominal organs? ⁣
⁣
💧Systemic inflammation and chronic pain is often correlated with gut issues that affect digestion and absorption of 🔑 nutrients. LDT can help support digestion by working on the intestines and deep abdominal chains.⁣
💧Detoxification can also be affected by an overburdened or congested liver (we are exposed to a lot of toxins in our daily lives), LDT can help drain the lobes of the liver and improve function. ⁣
💧Shortness of breath? Sinus congestion? Chronic colds? LDT can be applied to the face, neck and 🫁 as well! ⁣

𝗟𝘆𝗺𝗽𝗵𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀: 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘂𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗼⁣

We’ve been seeing a big uptick in the number of people booking for lymphatic drainage treatments due to social media influence. (𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗺𝗲 𝘀𝗼 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆!) ⁣
Things to know: there is a big difference between 𝗹𝘆𝗺𝗽𝗵𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗱𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲 (what we do) and 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘇𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗱. ⁣
While LDT will reduce swelling and therefore possibly change the appearance of your body, the goal is 𝗻𝗼𝘁 focused on body contouring. ⁣
⁣
So what are the goals? ⁣
✨ Decrease edema & swelling⁣
✨ Improve circulation & immune function⁣
✨ Decrease systemic inflammation & pain⁣
⁣
💧𝗜𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻⁣
⁣
The lymphatic system is a vital part of your immune system, it protects you from infection by producing and releasing lymphocytes, destroying old, damaged, or abnormal cells, and transports metabolic wastes and excess fluid that wasn’t reabsorbed to the circulatory system. ⁣
⁣
💧𝗥𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗰 𝗣𝗮𝗶𝗻⁣
⁣
When the lymphatic system isn’t functioning optimally, body tissues can’t get rid of cellular waste during the healing process, this could affect any damaged tissue in the body from organs to muscles. ⁣
The cellular waste continues to trigger the inflammatory process which perpetuates the pain cycle. 𝗜𝗳 𝘄𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲 𝗶𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆, 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝗰𝗮𝗻’𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗻𝗼 𝗮𝗺𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁, though they may mask associated symptoms. ⁣

👉 First off, it is important to understand that TPs are palpable nodules “knots” that occur in muscle bellies.⁣
👉 Researchers have been able to study and map their referral patterns and associated symptoms because when they occur, they occur in the same places on every body, with the same 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝘀.⁣
👉 The general theory behind TPs is they are bands of partially contracted sarcomeres (contractile units of a muscle). ⁣
💪 This may occur due to postural tension, mechanical or emotional stress (the 🧠 not feeling safe) or instability due to hypermobility or injury in an area. ⁣
⁣
⁣
𝗜𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗽𝘀𝗼𝗮𝘀 refers to a group of 2-3 muscles, the iliacus, the psoas major, and (in about 60% of the population) psoas minor.⁣
⁣
This group is commonly referred to as the “lower ab muscles” because they are deep to the re**us abdominis and contribute to the V Cut look. That said, they are the primary 𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗳𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗼𝗿𝘀 (they bend your hip, bringing your knee forward). ⁣
⁣
Due to attachments on the 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗮𝗿 𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗲 the psoas muscles are big contributors to lower back pain because, when tight, they pull the lumbar spine forward into a greater curve that puts more compressive force on the discs and joints. ⁣
⁣
As mentioned above, the 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘀 of this muscle also refer achy pain into the lower back and the front of the hip and thigh. ⁣
⁣
So, next time you’re dealing with low back pain, it might be worth seeking out a practitioner to treat your hip flexors rather than digging away at your back for an hour 😉⁣
