I wanted to get a massage therapy license so I could help people with this unit, but I cannot afford to go to school right now, and I need the money, so selling it. I bought this unit after it had been completely reconditioned by the manufacturer about two years ago.

It looks very close to being brand new – just a bit of a discoloration on one of the heads and a small amount of scuff on the outer case. I barely used the unit – I think 20 times at the most, and I NEVER used it with the oxygen tank because we never had anything that serious to treat with it in my family and we just never got around to filling the tank.

My friend who owns one of these had been telling me stories of how it healed this or that for four years before I bought my own. She had no reason to tell me all these stories if they were not true.

That’s why so many doctors own these- errrrr… that is, the doctors that really want to help their patients to heal in a healthy way – like the Naturopaths… These units work. That said, if you heal cancer with a Rife machine, for instance, and you don’t deal with the underlying cause of what gave rise to the cancer in the first place, such as consuming too many toxins and having a diet that is too far over on the ‘acidic’ side (where it needs to be more alkaline,) then the cancer would come back.

The point is obvious – this machine can really facilitate healing, but one must help the client to understand what gave rise to the disease condition in the first place and make life style changes.

I am curious if these two food recommendations are accurate during physical therapy.

Sardines to help broken bones – I was told if you sardines with the bones that it will help your broken bone(s) heal faster. I did not try this when my wrist was broken, because I was told after the bone had basically healed.

Peas to help loosen scar tissue – Will eating large amounts of peas help loosen scar tissue for easier stretching and range of movements? I tried to eat some at first but did not keep up with it.

If you know the answer, please post a comment below.

I took Epson salt baths which I felt helped a little. I also read that mustard oil or mustard baths help muscles and joints feel better and heal faster. I never tried aromatherapy though…

Aroma means scent, and therapy means treatment. Aromatherapy, then, is the use of the fragrant parts of aromatic plants to improve your health and general well-being. Essential oils, the fragrant, concentrated liquids extracted from the flowers, leaves, roots, bark, and fruit of an aromatic plant, are the main ingredients in aromatherapy treatments.
Aromatherapy has many benefits. Inhaling the appropriate fragrance can reduce stress, lift a depression, hasten a good night’s sleep, soothe your soul, or give you more energy.

Massaging aromatic oils into your skin is another way to benefit from aromatherapy. That’s because essential oils, offer a multitude of healing benefits in addition to their individual scents.

Aromatherapy is very versatile and can be used in many different ways to treat a wide range of physical and emotional problems.

An Occupational Therapist systematically works through a sequence of actions known as the occupational therapy process. There are several versions of this process as described by numerous writers. Creek’s version has 11 stages and seeks to provide a comprehensive version based on extensive research. The stages include referral, information gathering, initial assessment, needs identification/problem formation, goal setting, action planning, action, ongoing assessment and revision of action, outcome and outcome measurement, end of intervention or discharge, and review.

The Canadian Practice Process Framework (CPPF), which portrays eight action points and three contextual elements for the process of occupation-based, client-centered enablement, is another process framework for occupational therapists to use is. The contextual elements are comprised of societal context, practice context, and frame(s) of reference. The eight action points include enter/initiate, set the stage, assess/evaluate, agree on objectives and plan, implement plan, monitor/modify, evaluate outcome, and conclude/exit.

Another group, Fearing, Law, and Clark suggested a uniquely different 7 stage process which included identifying of occupational performance issues, choosing a theoretical frame of reference, assessing factors contributing the identified occupational performance issue(s), considering the strengths and resources of both client and therapist, negotiating targeted outcomes and developing an action plan, implementing the plan through occupation, and evaluating outcomes. A central element of this process model is the focus on identifying both client and therapists strengths and resources prior to beginning to develop the outcomes and action plan.
