Massage:
The principal therapist is Shaoyu (May) Lynch, LMT. Following her graduation from Cortiva Institute she completed additional coursework and received certification as a Medical Massage Practitioner. At True Health Massage Therapy we offer the most-requested types of massage and other specialized treatments for your health. Upon your first visit we will ask you to answer a brief health questionnaire regarding your general health, and to tell us of any conditions that may affect your treatment. This is also an opportunity for you to tell us what you hope for out of your massage, and if there are certain areas that you would like us to focus on or avoid. After you are shown into one of our treatment rooms, the therapist or body worker will leave the room briefly so you may undress to your level of comfort. Then you should lay down on the massage table under the sheet. We are required to drape the parts of your body that are not being treated.
During your massage you will be asked whether the pressure is too much or too little, or about other aspects of your treatment. We want to make your experience at True Health Massage Therapy as comfortable as we can, so feel free to tell us what is good, or what needs to be changed.
Other forms of specialized treatments include:
BEMER Therapy
BEMER Therapy enhances the body's natural ability to circulate oxygen, nutrients, and blood cells in the body's microcirculation, and assists in the elimination of waste from the cells. Improving the efficiency of these processes assists your body's natural functioning. More information is available at https://truehealth.bemergroup.com/en-US
Biboting (BBT Treatment)
Biboting is an enhanced form of the more familiar "cupping" treatment, that combines suction, far infrared waves, negative ions, and vibration in the treatment. The Biboting machine makes it possible to perform modalities of treatment that would not be possible with traditional cupping.
Far Infrared Sauna:
The sun and our bodies emit far infrared light. Far Infrared is at the other end of the spectrum from the ultraviolet light which we know to be so damaging to our skin. For decades, people have used Far Infrared treatment for weight loss, detoxification, skin rejuvenation, and can give good relief for some conditions such as migraine, diabetes, cancer, psoriasis, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis and hypertension.
The Far Infrared sauna is a dry sauna that operates at temperatures lower than a typical steam sauna. We are one of the only treatment centers with equipment using the 4-14 micron wavelengths. Our sauna equipment is FDA Approved.
For this treatment, you will need to remove all clothing except your undergarments and get into the sauna tent. You will be seated on a towel placed on a stool in the tent with your feet on top and out of the flow of the heat generators, and the tent will be zipped up, leaving only your head outside the tent. Another towel will be placed around your neck to seal the heat within the tent. The Far Infrared generator will be turned on for about 15 minutes, during which time you will notice you start to sweat profusely. After the 15 minute cycle, you will remain in the tent for a few more minutes in the residual heat in the tent.
When you step out of the tent you will need to dry off, and sit for a few minutes to slowly cool down. Unlike other types of sauna, with the Far Infrared Sauna there is no abrupt cooling off, like getting immediately into a cold shower. It is recommended that a person wait for a half-hour or more before taking a shower. We do not have shower facilities, and we recommend that our clients bring a fresh change of undergarments for after the sauna. We also request that clients bring their own towels.
Most people experience that it takes a few sauna sessions before there is any noticeable result. Gradually, weight loss occurs through perspiration. Also, the results of detoxification are visible in the form of dark spots in the perspiration on the towel as the body eliminates metals and other substances. It may take a few sessions before these spots appear.
