Bentosa or Cupping
An ancient treatment practiced in many cultures around the world known as "cupping" or "Ba Guan", uses the creation of a vacuum against the patient's skin to create a stimulating effect. Cupping is beneficial for stagnation of blood and energy (qi) in the body.
How does cupping work?
Ancient Chinese Medicine prescribes this technique in cases where "stagnation" must be treated, commonly in th elungs, when it is used to treat coughs, and tightness or congestion in the chest.
It draws stagnant qi from deep within to the surface to be released, so easing pain,. It is also sometimes used to treat muskuloskeletal pain. Often, it is used in conjuction with other techniques, like acupuncture and acupressure.
In addition to treating the stagnation - based illnessess, cupping has been reported to leave a long-term feeling of relaxation and invigoration. It does not harm you when performed by someone properly trained in the technique, and is perfectly safe to use in conjunction with other more mainstream forms of medicine. It is very popular in China and Korea and has a long history of use in acupuncture practice.
It leaves distinctive circular marks when done properly. the areas may feel as if they were sunburned for a short while.

New Method on Pain Management!
The New Leader in Pain Management now in Philippines!
Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) is an emerging treatment modality for managing pain caused by various muskuloskeletal disorders. "extracorporeal" means "outside the body" and refers to non-invasive procedure in which sound waves are directed at the area where pain occurs. "ESWT is a non- invasive, no injection, result is appreciated immeadiately non-time consuming and simple procedure". According to Dr. Isagani LEal.
- Tennis Elbow
- Golfer's Elbow
- Shoulder Tendinopathy/calcific tendinitis
- Trochanteric Bursitis
- Jumper's knee/Patellar tendinopathy
- Shin splints
- Achilles Tendinopathy
- Plantar Fasciitis
- Recalcitrant Diabetic wounds
How does it promote healing???
- Repeated shockwave to the affected area creates neo-vascularization (new blood flow) into the area. It is the new blood flow that promotes tissue healing.
- In chronic pain, the brain has "forgotten" about the pain and is doing nothing to heal the area. By having shockwave therapy, a new inflammation process is created and the brain can react to it by sending necessary body nutrients to the area to promote healing.
Advantages:
- Non invasive
- No anesthesia needed
- no injection
- no medication
- no surgery
- Fast treatment
- quick recovery and quick result
- out patient basis
Contraindications:
- Neurological and vascular disease of the foot
- history of rupture of the plantar fascial ligament
- open bone growth plates
- pregnancy
- implanted metal in the area (bone screws and pins)
- people on medication that interferes with blood clotting such as coumadin and prophylactic aspirin.

Slim Thru E.S.W.T (Fat Shocker)
Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (E.S.W.T) Fat Shocker
Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy are using a build-in high pressure technique of ESWT fat shocker, because of the air pulse pressure receiving the impact, and also there are vibration coming through from the ESWT shocker, produces like the nEwton's third law of motion, law of receiprocal actions create shockwaves. ESWT aim at the fatty cell, through liquid as the medium, produce cavitations and let the fatty cell get vacuum vapour bubble, along with the negative pressure and the pulse frequency rise, the formation of the vacuum vapour bubbles increases at the same time, the vacuum vapour bubbles can be demolished automatically and eliminated by the shockwave which comes afterwards, and eventually metabolized by the lymphatic system. ESWT can breakdown the fat cell to make body slim, eliminates the cellulitis, tightly firming the loose skin, stimulates the growth of collagen, reduces the wrinkles, increases the skin elasticity, desalinates the post-natal striae gravidarum, stimulate metabolism, activate lymphatic system which are the remarkable effects.
- Non invasive procedure
- Can eliminate cellulite and also cure different kind of muscle pain or bone injuries
- Using bith Cavitation and Shock for eliminating the fat cell
- More tiny size vacuum vapour bubble that is much easier to self-demolished.
Cellulite is structured to be very weak in "vibration" and "shock" unlike the other cells of the human body. That is, it means that "vibration" and "shock" can be used in order to eliminate fat cells. In the obesity treatment using a supersonic wave based machine, "destruction of fat cell" can be done by Cavitation (Vibration). Using Shockwave in the obesity treatment however, destruction of fat cell can be done by both Cavitation (vibration) and shock (strong shock wave).
