Dolphin Multi-point Stimulation*
Dolphin Multi-point Stimulation (MPS) Therapy is a cutting-edge approach that uses a hand-held device to deliver brief, targeted microcurrents to key points on the body. This therapy is highly effective for a wide range of conditions, as it works to regulate the nervous system and calm the body's stress response. It is a powerful tool for clinical massage, offering a way to address issues from chronic pain to anxiety while promoting deep relaxation.

Did you know that scars deeper than skin deep can cause problems with pain or restriction in other parts of the body?
This specialized application of Dolphin MPS is focused on healing and releasing scar tissue. By applying gentle microcurrents directly to and around scars, SRT can help to soften and flatten the tissue, improve blood flow, and reduce sensitivity. This is especially effective for post-surgical c-section and mastectomy scars, helping to reduce pain and improve mobility. SRT works to reduce adhesions and can be an integral part of post-surgical recovery for both physical and emotional healing.
SRT is a safe and innovative therapy that targets the negative impact scar tissue can have on the body. The non-invasive, low-level DC microcurrents penetrate deeply into tissues releasing fibrotic scar tissue while significantly increasing cellular metabolism, ATP, and protein synthesis. By addressing the root cause of the restriction, SRT provides profound and lasting relief from chronic pain. The therapy can be performed as soon as the incision has fully healed.
Scar Release Therapy (SRT)
Pain Management
Dolphin MPS Therapy is an exceptional non-invasive tool for pain management. By targeting specific trigger points and acupressure points, the microcurrent stimulation helps release muscle tension, reduce inflammation, and calm the pain signals traveling through the nervous system. This approach is highly effective for a variety of conditions, including back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, and chronic pain associated with conditions like plantar fasciitis, and resolving myofascial trigger points.
Numerous studies have shown that Dolphin MPS protocols reduce pain and are synergistic with massage therapy. It is not painful, and often you will not feel the current at all.
Vagus Nerve Therapy
The vagus nerve is a critical component of the nervous system regulation and plays a key role in the body's deep relaxation and healing processes. Dolphin MPS Therapy can be used to gently stimulate the vagus nerve, which helps to activate the "rest and digest" response and reduce the effects of stress and anxiety. This therapy is particularly beneficial for improving insomnia, enhancing overall mental well-being, and creating a state of deep calm that supports the body's natural ability to heal.
Dolphin Vagus Therapy is the application of tiny, electro-currents to the ear targeting the auricular branch of the vagus nerve, considered the "brakes" of the body. Vagus nerve activation is proven in science to reduce pro-inflammatory cytokines, stimulate immunity and improve respiratory dysfunction. Noninvasive vagal therapy is reported to alleviate many conditions, including epilepsy, depression, pain and stroke rehabilitation.
Key Points for Vagas Nerve Applications:
The vagus nerve, the 10th and longest cranial nerve, is a vital part of your body's parasympathetic healing system. Known as "the wandering nerve," it connects your brain to nearly every major organ, playing a crucial role in recovery, digestion, and mental health.
Vagus Nerve Therapy counters our "fight or flight" stress response to promote relaxation and activate our restorative healing functions throughout the body.
Noninvasive vagal stimulation is also widely reported in science to increase vagal tone and improve respiratory-pulmonary functioning, and is applied to treat COVID Long-Haul Recovery.
10-20 minutes of Dolphin Vagus Nerve Stimulation improves your ability to manage stress and enhances sleep, relaxation and exercise recovery.
Sometimes restoring nervous system regulation is necessary for bodywork to be effective in returning muscles to normal resting tone and decreasing pain and discomfort.
