How MRT Works

Matrix regeneration therapy is a technologically advanced take on combining well known therapeutic methods. MRT consists of 3 components, acting synergistically, in one working cycle. These include:

Petechial Vacuum Extraction Massage: A modern form of cupping, which is a well-known traditional Chinese therapy dating back to ancient Egyptian, Chinese, and Middle Eastern cultures. One of the oldest medical textbooks in the world, the Ebers Papyrus, describes how the ancient Egyptians were using cupping therapy in 1,550 B.C. In MRT, a partial vacuum is generated against the skin on the back through the use of a medical device that is then rolled along the skin to draw toxins to the source and divert them to lymphatic capillaries. Athletes like Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps utilize cupping and petechial suction massage, and studies have shown that therapy may help reduce pain.

Direct Current Treatment of the Tissue: While the suction of toxins is occurring, using a roller electrode, a weak voltage current is conducted into the tissue, whereby excessive currents within the affected tissues are removed. Toxins are not only affecting us negatively through physical manner but also through their energetic quality. This is why highly toxic patients show neuronal disorders and hormonal imbalances and in turn allergies. The reversed polarity of the tissue becomes alkaline again, which is a precondition for normal metabolic functioning.

Bioresonance Therapy: Extinguishes the toxins’ pathological frequencies and underlying disturbance fields and relieves the immune and oscillatory system. Pathological frequencies, or signals, released by toxins in the tissue can cause interference with the central nervous system (neural oscillation). The bioresonance component of MRT acts as biofeedback to the body and is of great benefit to the neutralization of these toxic pathological frequencies, and dubbed as a “subtraction delete therapy” by Dr. Bodo Kohler (an expert in MRT). The brain is equally involved through bioresonance therapy in MRT and is influenced as a central control element in the regeneration process.

During treatment, a patient lies relaxed on their stomach. Four electrodes are gently clipped onto the hands and feet, and an additional flat electrode is placed under the stomach. Utilizing an instrument that consists of a suction probe and two rollers that glide over the skin, the entire back will be slowly worked on from left to right, and then over the spinal column. In all, the treatment takes approximately 20 minutes, and most patients find it to be relaxing. The suction may cause some minor pain for those with sensitivities, but strength can be adjusted. You may experience some redness on the back from the section. This is completely normal and will dissipate soon after treatment. Most find the treatment relaxing and rejuvenating, although the initial suction feeling may be accompanied by some pain.

The therapy is usually performed on the back but can be used on the abdomen, joints, thighs, etc. The treatments are usually spaced 1 per week over 6 weeks. The process strengthens the connective tissue, strengthens and firms the treated tissue, and indirectly subsides venous problems accompanied by congestive symptoms (varicose veins). The treatment also eliminates stress-induced pain.

Patients with any degenerative or inflammatory lung conditions benefit immensely from this therapy. This machine facilitates the suctioning of toxins from the core/lung area, stimulation of the lymphatic system to push the toxins out, while balancing the polarity of the patient.”

How Acupuncture Works

By stimulating various nerves and tissues, acupuncture is thought to restore the function of your body’s energy, or chi. Tiny stainless steel needles (around the thickness of a strand of human hair) are inserted into the skin by a health practitioner. These needles are disposable and new ones are used every time, for every patient to maintain cleanliness.

The practitioner may tap the needle in place, twirl them, heat the needles, or charge them with a small electrical current depending on their training and intention for your treatment. Patients typically don’t feel the needles being inserted as they’re so thin, but you may experience something called ‘de qi sensation’ which is a tingling, heaviness, or numbness during the session.

The needles are kept in place for 20-30 minutes while you are in a comfortable, but still, position.
