Iman’s areas of expertise include:

SHOCKWAVE THERAPY  A shockwave is a “high powered sound wave”. Shockwave Therapy sends acoustic shockwaves into bone or soft tissue, in effect re-injuring the area on a cellular level and breaking up the scarring that has penetrated tendons and ligaments. The controlled re-injuring of tissue allows the body to regenerate blood vessels and bone cells. The resulting re-vascularization leads to faster healing, a chemically induced decrease in pain and sensitivity of pain receptors, and often a return to pre-injury activity levels.

CUPPING THERAPY is an ancient form of alternative medicine in which a local suction is created on the skin to mobilizes blood flow in order to promote healing.

GUASHA THERAPY is a traditional Chinese medical treatment in which the skin is scraped to produce light bruising. Gua sha releases unhealthy elements from injured areas and stimulates blood flow and healing.

CHINESE MERIDIAN AND ACCUPRESSURE THERAPY   The Meridian system is a traditional Chinese medicine belief about a path through which the life-energy known as “qi” flows. Meridians are the route of viscera and body surface. They can promote circulation of blood and energy, connect the viscera and extremities and communicate with the interior, exterior, upper and lower areas. Whole Meridian Massage Therapy a simple and effective method with no-side effects for curing a sub-healthy state, is easily accepted by the people in a sub-healthy state.

DEEP TISSUE is a type of massage which reaches structures far beneath the superficial fascia to attempt to relieve chronic muscle problems or injuries.

MAGNESIUM OIL THERAPY Magnesium is a beneficial mineral that offers a variety of healing effects, according to Shirley’s Wellness Café. Magnesium oil is a form of the mineral that may be used to rejuvenate the body and assist in healing certain ailments. It is important to supply your body with an adequate level of magnesium, as a deficiency may result in symptoms of anxiety, restless leg syndrome, sleep disorders, nausea, low blood pressure and weakness, among others.
