What is Scar Release Therapy (SRT)?
It is recommended that you please watch the video above for a much more detailed explanation of scars, their impact on your body, and how SRT using Dolphin Neurostim devices can help.
Briefly, scars — both visible and those beneath the surface — disrupt your body's normal function and can cause pain, often in parts of your body not even near the scar's site. Scar Release Therapy, which helps reverse these disruptions, was developed by the Center for Pain & Stress Research, has been proven safe and is clinically tested.

It could be easy to mistake SRT as being the same as a traditional TENS therapy treatment, but it's not. One primary reason is that while a TENS unit uses AC current (the same as what powers your lights), the Dolphin Neurostim units use DC current, which is the same type of current your body's cells produce and are designed to handle. As a result, SRT is a more natural approach causing less stress in your body.
In fact, SRT works by painlessly sending DC microcurrent through the scar tissue, a.k.a. microcurrent point stimulation, which reduces dermal trauma, adhesions, and restrictions in the fascia; all of which has a proven track record of pain relief — an impressive 73.2% — after just one session. (Documented in The Successful Treatment of Chronic Pain Using Microcurrent Point Stimulation Applied to Scars article in the 2017 issue of the International Journal of Complementary and Alternative Medicine [IJCAM], an interdisciplinary peer-reviewed open access journal.

In addition to pain relief, SRT also has been known to greatly reduce visible scars and can even reduce decades-old, childhood scar tissue.

What is Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS)?
Dolphin Vagus Nerve Stimulation is a non-invasive activation of the vagus nerve (a.k.a. vagal nerve) to aid in countering sympathetic stress (fight or flight mode) in the body. The session uses microcurrent point stimulation between a pad placed on your wrist or just below the naval and a small clip attached to your left ear lobe, connecting two ends of your vagus nerve. The Vagus Nerve Stimulation session lasts for 15 minutes while you sit or lay down comfortably OR it may be included, if deemed necessary, for 5-15 minutes during your massage session. If you would like to book a standalone 15-minute session to aid in reducing your sympathetic stress levels, please click here. If you would like to simply add it as part of your massage session, please note that when you make your appointment or mention it at the start of your session.
As a matter of information, Dolphin VNS has been approved by Health Canada for treatment of COVID-19 Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS); however, it is not available as a COVID treatment at My Elite Massage.
