WHAT IS A BIOMAGNETIC ADJUSTMENT?
Biomagnetic Adjustment is a non invasive, holistic option for anyone looking to feel empowered about their health. BMA is a very specific magnet therapy that exclusively uses the Northern Polarity of the magnets. Our bodies are electromagnetic and the magnets work with your body on a cellular level to address the electrical condition of a complaint so that the body can resume a healthy circuiting. The actual adjustment is achieved by placing the Northern polarity of magnets on various parts of the body for various times, depending on each individual's needs. The adjustments over a period of time results in the body being in an optimal, balanced condition so that it can return to homeostasis.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT FOR MY APPOINTMENT?
Please see the Services & Rates tab for the section What can you expect?
HOW WILL I FEEL AFTER MY SESSION?
HOW LONG HAVE MAGNETS BEEN USED ON THE HUMAN BODY?
Anchor 1
The use of magnets in recorded history is a long one. For at least 2,000 years, there have been written records of the use of natural magnets, or lodestones, being used in medical treatment.
CAN I STILL GET A TREATMENT IF I AM CURRENTLY UNDER A DOCTOR'S CARE?
Yes! That’s the beauty of BMA, it’s a complimentary therapy to anything you’re already doing. It is NOT a medical procedure and we are not doctors-nor do we diagnose. As part of our client intake flow, we extensively cover your medical history to make sure there’s no contradictions that could cause any discomfort. The therapy’s safety protocols ensure that any treatment you receive works with your current regimen so that you can attain optimal results.
DO I HAVE TO COME EVERY WEEK TO SEE RESULTS?
Unlike other modalities, we work specifically at a rate that is dictated by your body (not a business model). Your body will need time to catch up in between sessions, so duration varies in between appointments. Due to working at a safe pace for you as an individual, it is unlikely you will be able to have treatments each and every week. Just because you're not getting a Biomagnetic Adjustment each week, does not mean that your body isn't working to heal. At each session, your Vitalist will talk with you about any additions to your lifestyle that will support your wellness journey.
WHAT IS GROUNDING?
Everyone one is unique, so everyone feels differently after their session. Some clients have reported feeling energized, others feel very relaxed, some feel tired, while others don't notice any difference until the following day. Likely you will be a little hungry afterwards since your body has been busy working during the therapy.
This therapy is not a cure, but since we look at the root cause of your symptoms you will find some relief once that cause is removed. This means to optimize results, you will be informed of anything in your diet or lifestyle that may be making you symptomatic. In order to get long lasting results, you will need to eliminate any aggressors discovered by your Vitalist. If you're not ready to make these necessary lifestyle changes, please revisit us when you're ready.
We also ask our clients to keep this in mind: you did not get sick overnight, so we won't be able to 100% eliminate each contributing factor of the root cause of your symptoms in just one visit. We will work with you to get as much relief as possible that will allow your body to heal at a pace that it can handle.
IS THERE ANYONE WHO SHOULDN'T HAVE A BIOMAGNETIC ADJUSTMENT?
That is the great thing about BMA, just about everyone can benefit from a session! But since the focus of our therapy is safety for our client (and not making money), there are a few exceptions. If you are currently pregnant, we would not be able to begin sessions until after your baby is born. In order to make sure that there are no other exceptions, we require our clients to fill out an extensive medical history form. Before any treatments are applied, the Vitalist is thoroughly trained to verify the type and duration that would be the most effective for your body at that time.
It is the idea that being electrically reconnected to earth by standing barefoot on the ground has positive effects on the body. Ask any electrician and they can tell you the importance of being grounded. Recent studies are showing there are numerous benefits to getting the electrical charges (specifically, negative ions) from the earth, such as: inflammation reduction, cardiovascular disease, muscle damage, relief from chronic pain, and mood improvement. You can gain similar benefits by artificial means, whether that is a grounding mat, or sheet, wire or magnets. Understanding this concept opens a big window into how a Biomagnetic Adjustment is beneficial for the body. Fun fact: it can also help with jetlag by resetting your circadian rhythm to whatever time zone you travel to. You can learn more about grounding at the following links & watch a great documentary highlighting its benefits: https://www.earthing.com/ https://www.healthline.com/health/grounding
WHAT IS PMR?
Polysynaptic Muscle Response is the term for what occurs in the body when the Vitalist is checking for the underlying cause of any symptom. This is related to applied kinesiology. The scientific studies conducted by the Vitalist's Academy for Biomagnetic Adjustment have been published, showing what parts of the brain are involved when using the PMR. While few have heard of the Polysynaptic Muscle Response, almost everyone has heard of a polygraph test. Breathing & heartrate as measured by the equipment in a polygraph test is a similar response. Please feel free to watch the following video if you'd like to learn more about the regions of the brain that are involved in such a response: https://www.instagram.com/p/CeFiVP8D2IE/
COULD I LEARN BMA MYSELF?
WHAT IS AN "APPROVED VITALIST"? DOES IT MATTER?
YES-It matters! The reason that being an Approved Vitalist is SO important is because not only have they completed the rigorous training offered by the Vitalist's Academy of Biomagnetic Adjustment, they strictly adhere to the hygiene protocols required to keep the client safe. There are many people who practice a similar type of magnet therapy but do not maintain necessary safety standards. In order for a Vitalist to maintain their Approved status, they are also required to regularly obtain Continuing Education from the Academy. Doing so not only sharpens their skills but also makes sure that their clients are being able to utilize the most advanced techniques in their wellness journey.
WHAT IS THE EMOTIONAL TRAUMA RELEASE TECHNIQUE?
While ETR is not part of the techniques taught with Biomagnetic Adjustment, it goes hand in hand to help support your body to process and drain toxic emotions. ETR was developed by a naturopath in Texas and has been used with a very high success rate for the last 30 years. This technique works with Bach Flower remedies to aid the body in draining emotions and trauma from each organ in the body.
This modality is a desirable option for many because it doesn't require talking in order for the body to process the emotions in question. You can think of it of as taking out the trash: if it is not addressed it will end up overflowing and becoming a health hazard. Just like the literal trash, its something that is good to do regularly. It's great to address anyone feeling overwhelmed, acting as a caretaker, dealing with PTSD, trauma or those in the the mental health industry who may not be able to disclose what is on their mind.
We're excited to offer this effective modality to our clients in the middle Tennessee area!
Please do! That is one of the many great things about Biomagnetic Adjustment, anyone can do it & everyone is encouraged to learn it. You can read more about the course here: www.biomagneticadjustment.com/
SHOULD I BUY MAGNETS ONLINE FOR PERSONAL USE?
Absolutely not. Very few magnets are suitable to be placed on the body for therapeutic benefit. The magnets used by your Vitalist have been verified by physicists for the appropriate strength and to maintain the highest quality & safety standards needed for this modality. We do not even recommend buying your own magnets from the Academy unless you have taken the Level I class to learn the proper care of magnets. Magnets are powerful tools & should NEVER be placed on the body without a qualified Vitalist verifying the proper steps. Doing so can result in serious consequences for your health. We cherish the well-being of our clients. We cannot over-emphasize the importance of magnet safety.
