***ADDITIONAL INFORMATION***

 

Bottle Therapy is a blend of the science of scar tissue formation and the art of breaking it down. At Bottle Therapy, we have formulated the science (not yet formally recognized), and each individual has to find his or her own “art”.  Be patient and diligent and Bottle Therapy techniques will most likely work as they should to break down scar tissue within the soft tissue (muscles, tendons and ligaments), release adhesions in the fascia tissue, reducing inflammation and pain. It may also improve the way you look and feel. However, results may vary.

 

As the scar tissue is broken down, within the soft tissue, blood flow will be restored. This blood flow may appear as bruising. Do not be alarmed.  If bruising does occur, it will most likely resolve in a few days. If it does not, please see your doctor immediately.

 

Bottle Therapy recommends a self-therapy tool controlled by the user. The pressure depth, the amount of treatment time, the intensity of self-therapy tool use and the use of a buffer on skin (oil, water or clothing), is 100% under the individuals control. Bottle Therapy Coaches will provide suggested customized routines for your specific injury or pain if you so choose to follow.  Coconut Oil is used during Bottle Therapy Pain Clinics. Do not use if you have an allergy to topical use of coconut oil.
