We are conveniently located in East Tennessee's Knoxville region - in Oak Ridge - just 15 minutes from West Knox County. When we are stressed, our bodies react physically. Stress, tension and emotion are all connected together and all affect our basic body functions. Massage serves as an emotional, as well as physical release. We provide various types of massage ranging from relaxation to deep tissue. My interest in massage and the interconnectivity of the mental and physical led me to study the function of the colon. Thus I decided to combine both therapies in my practice. As more people in the area are becoming aware of the benefits, TERIVIK HANDS is practicing more colon cleanses than massage. Colon cleansing, also known as colon hydrotherapy, colon irrigation, colon therapy, and/or high enemas, is the process of allowing a gentle continuous flow of warm filtered and purified water into the large intestine. Most of us never think about our colon and may even feel that this is a bit "icky." Every day, we introduce toxins into our system: from processed foods, fatty foods, caffeine, refined sugar, foods with preservatives, as well as from outdoor and indoor environmental pollution. All of this can cause the colon (the body's sewage system) to become sluggish, allowing these toxins to enter the blood stream and circulate through the body, leading to a variety of health problems. Ideally, I'd like to see everyone who comes to me for a massage to also have a colon cleanse, just to experience the effect of total release, relieving physical and emotional waste. |
