 According to research from Yale Medical University, the depletion of electrical energy from the body is the root cause of general unwellness. PEMF, or a pulsed electromagnetic field, is a donating source of energy that helps the body repair, regenerate, and rebuild naturally, enhancing the functionality of cells.

PEMF is a non-invasive and drug-free therapy that can help you reach your body’s full potential. PEMF technology has been FDA approved for 25 years for bone healing, post-surgical pain and healing, pain and inflammation, knee pain and even depression.

Why Use Pulsed Magnetic Fields? 

· Reduce pathogens and parasites – by creating gentle micro currents of electricity it assists in cleansing the lymph of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other pathogens

· Increase circulation – brings energizing oxygen-rich blood to areas targeted including vital organs, tissues & lymph.

· Reduces pain – by increasing circulation to an area, inflammation is reduced.

· Improves the immune system & detoxification – by targeting lymph nodes, it assists the lymph system in removing cellular waste.

· Speeds healing – penetrates joints & bones helping to speed healing on many levels including bone fractures.

· Ability to reduce tumors – anecdotal feedback suggests pulsed magnetic fields can help reduce tumor size.

Applying pulsed magnetic fields is simply a matter of holding a coil over the area of the body you want to target. The coil releases the magnetic field in pulses that then penetrates into the targeted area. Pulsed magnetic fields are invisible and barely perceptible if at all.

The power of the CO2 micro-crystals at a temperature of -78°C, combined with the speed of the drop in temperature and the vibration created by the jet, generates a high-intensity reaction called: THERMAL SHOCK.

External receptors of the skin are not aware of NCS (NeuroCryoStimulation) signal where as they are normally programmed to react with traditional cold treatment techniques such as ice, sprays or forced air. Accordingly, the autonomic reflex response that forms the basis of the NCS treatment is completely different and a lot more powerful.

It aims to regulate localized homoeostasis by means of mechanical and enzymatic action. The effectiveness of treatment results is achieved due to the potency of analgesic and vasomotor effects, combined with a powerful antiinflammatory effect.

 Halotherapy is an alternative treatment that involves breathing salty air. Some claim that it can help respiratory conditions, such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, and allergies. Others suggest it can also:

• ease smoking-related symptoms, such as a cough, shortness of breath, and wheezing
• help with depression and anxiety
• improve some skin conditions, such as psoriasis, eczema, and acne

Now featuring:Tourmaline and Jade Negative Ions InfraRed Pad heating mats The power of natural jade has the ability to emit far-infrared waves of 8 -14 micron wavelength.  When the jade is heated, it emits long wave infrared rays that penetrate the body 14-15cm (5.5 to 6 inches). The rays not only benefit the muscle on the surface but all cells including blood vessels, lymph glands and nerves in the deep parts of our body.   FeaturesCan promote blood circulation; Strengthen the function of organs, increase metabolism; Eliminate tension, relax your body and mind
The heart and soul that breathes success to a salt room, salt cave, or a salt therapy concept starts with the halogenerator (halo is salt in Greek).  A halogenerator is a special type of equipment that is used to provide safe and effective dry salt therapy, also known as Halotherapy.  The primary therapeutic benefit of a salt room is derived from pure Sodium Chloride being crushed, ground, and dispersed into the air in precise microscopic salt particle sizes and concentration levels from the halogenerator. Interested in building your own Salt Room?According to the Salt Therapy Association, there are some salt rooms and salt caves that claim they offer halotherapy but they do not have a halogenerator. Without a halogenerator, there is no Halotherapy at home. They may have salt has a décor feature on the walls and floors, however, the only way dry salt therapy (Halotherapy) can be provided is with dry salt being dispersed into the chamber or room.  While some claim that heated Himalayan salt can be beneficial in an environment by releasing some negative ions to counterbalance Electric Magnetic Frequencies (EMFs) and positive ions, these type of salt rooms and caves do not provide any benefits of halotherapy.
Recommended Attire:We encourage comfortable attire for your visit.  Tank top, T-Shirt, Shorts or other athletic wear is ideal. There are full restroom and changing rooms on site. 

LED light therapy has an established history of skin uses. The US Navy SEALs began using it in the 1990s to help heal wounds quickly and to help regenerate damaged muscle tissues. It’s mainly noted for increasing collagen and tissues. All of which can smooth out your skin and reduce the appearance of damage from age spots, acne, and wrinkles.  

LED light therapy is noninvasive, so no recovery time is required.  Procedures take 10 minutes at a time. You should get treated once a week for up to 10 weeks, then maintain once every few months. You may start to see minor results after your first session; however, results will be more dramatic and noticeable with successive treatments.

Red LED light 

Red and infrared light is used for treating the epidermis, which is the outer layer of skin. When the light is applied to your skin, the epidermis absorbs it and then stimulates collagen proteins.  More collagen makes skin look smoother and fuller, which can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Red LED light is also thought to reduce inflammation while improving circulation, which can give you a healthier glow. Red light can also promote hair growth.

Blue LED light  

Blue light therapy targets the sebaceous glands. Blue light therapy can target these oil glands and make them less active. In turn, you may see fewer acne breakouts. Blue light can also kill acne-causing bacteria beneath the skin, which can help treat severe acne pimples, including cysts and nodules.  

A 2018 study found that blue LED improved healing of third-degree skin burns.  Blue light therapy may also help with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).

Amber LED light 

Amber light is effective in the treatment of skin issues involving redness, such as spider veins. It excels in the treatment of problems such as sun damage. It is often considered to be an ideal therapy for sensitive skin, as its therapy is calming and soothing.  Amber light therapy is frequently recommended as a drug free alternative treatment for skin redness and flushing, irritation, rosacea, UV radiation damage, and reducing the appearance of the tiny blood vessels on the nose and face. It helps to flush waste from the skin, boost lymphatic flow, and increase cellular growth.

White LED light 

White light has the longest wavelengths and therefore goes the deepest into the skin. The white light is used for a variety of skin rejuvenating effects, including tightening and toning the skin, healing acne scars, erasing sun damage or dark spots, and reducing inflammation.

Per the journal of Seminars in Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery, RLT helps rejuvenate the skin by:

• increasing collagen production in the skin, which gives the skin its elasticity

• increasing fibroblast production, which helps produce collagen and other tissue fibers

• increasing circulation between blood and tissue cells

• protecting cells from damage

• increasing mRNA in the cells, which helps stimulate the cell

• improving facial texture

• reducing fine lines

• reducing wrinkle severity  

RLT, either alone or in combination with blue light therapy (as used at Island Wellness), can be an effective treatment for acne vulgaris. The light penetrates deep into the skin and affects sebum production while also reducing inflammation and irritation in the area.

The Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy revealed that RLT improved hair density in people with alopecia.

The European Journal of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine indicates that RLT could effectively reduce pain in adults with different musculoskeletal disorders. 

The Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology indicates that RLT may help enhance bone recovery.

Do not use LED light therapy if you’re using anything on your skin that makes you sensitive to sunlight.  You also might consider avoiding this treatment if you have an active rash. Talk with your doctor if you have psoriasis. Red light therapy could help but only in conjunction with regularly prescribed treatments.

Whole-body vibration uses a vibrating platform to create a repetitive motion around a central point. Vibrations generated by the machine are transferred to the user, and the body naturally reacts in order to keep you stable, working out muscles and joints in an automatic fashion. 

Muscle fibers and motor nerves respond more to vibrations than the deliberate muscle contractions that occur as you work out. Vibration platform machines allow people to experience both types of muscle exercises at once, helping to strengthen muscles and improve cardiovascular health.

Vibration therapy is used by professional athletes, physical therapists, trainers and rehabilitation centers and in military training. NASA is even testing vibration therapy as a way to help astronauts maintain bone density while they’re in space
