Bioelectrical Massage Therapy, also known as Bioelectric Meridian Massage Therapy (BMMT), is a drug-free therapeutic option for individuals suffering from both chronic and acute pain. This innovative technique harnesses the body’s natural bioelectricity to improve overall health, organ function, and mobility.

How Does Bioelectric Therapy Compare to Traditional Massage?
Bioelectric massage therapy offers deeper penetration of electrical currents compared to standard massage techniques. Not only does it leave you feeling rejuvenated, but it is also more cost-effective, as a single session of Bioelectric massage therapy can be equivalent to three traditional massages.
What to Expect During a Bioelectric Therapy Session
During a bioelectric therapy session, small flat rubber adhesive discs, known as electrodes, are placed on the areas of the skin to be treated. Occasionally, rubber suction cups, called vasopneumatic devices, may also be used. These electrodes are connected to a computer that calculates the precise dosage of therapy required. High-frequency alternating electrical currents are then applied through the electrodes. The currents pass quickly through the skin without causing pain.
A mild vibrating or tingling sensation is common during treatment and should feel comforting rather than uncomfortable. Your feedback will be essential for the therapist as the currents are applied. You should feel relaxed and enjoy the session, which typically lasts around 20 minutes.
