TENS Hire Perth

Introducing TENS Machine Hire Perth: Your Ultimate Natural pain management solution for labour in Australia, featuring TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) A portable TENS machine delivers effective pain relief through a mild electrical current delivered via the use of electrode pads. The recommended placement for the pads during labour is the lower back. It's a highly popular form of birth pain relief, known for its portability and battery-operated design. This makes it an ideal choice for labouring at home or in the hospital. The beauty of the TENS is that it can be utilised when labouring at home or in hospital. The portable TENS machine emits electrical pulses, which serve a dual purpose. First, they block pain signals from reaching your brain, reducing your perception of pain. Second, they stimulate the release of endorphins. Endorphins are your body's natural feel-good hormones, promoting an overall sense of comfort and well-being. This dual-action approach not only provides effective pain relief but also serves as an invaluable distraction during contractions. This will allow you to stay focused and in control during labour.

Radiant Chi

Traditional Chinese medicine is a holistic primary health care system which has been practiced for over 2500 years. Its roots stem from Daoist philosophies that suggest that everything in the universe is part of an unbroken whole, where life arises from the interplay of opposites (Yin and Yang) and we can have a life of health and prosperity by observing nature and its natural cycles. When our bodies are in harmony with our surroundings, we are healthy and there is an abundant supply of qi (pronounced chee/chi), which is our life force or energy that runs through an unseen network of meridians across the body. If the flow of qi becomes depleted or blocked the body fails to maintain harmony or balance and then disease and illness follows. ​Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners not only look at the presenting symptoms, but also other indicators of health, such as diet, lifestyle and emotional influences, appearance of the tongue and the strength and speed of the pulse. We can then understand the disease process and prescribe an individualised treatment plan to resolve the imbalances, which is continually monitored and amended until the desired health outcome is achieved. Our goal at Radiant Chi is to promote wellness for the whole family, primarily with Chinese medicine, alongside Relaxation spa therapies to support all areas of your health.

Cell Care - Storing your Stem Cells

Cord blood is the blood that remains in a baby’s umbilical cord and placenta immediately after the baby is born and the umbilical cord has been clamped and cut. Your baby’s cord blood contains a diverse mixture of important cells, including stem cells. Cord blood is a particularly rich source of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), which have the ability to create and heal our organs, blood and the immune system. Because of their “youth”, stem cells from umbilical cord blood are among the most flexible and potent in the body. How can cord blood be used? Worldwide, cord blood has been used in over 40,000 transplants in the treatment of over 80 conditions. In Australia, over 500 cord blood units have been released to treat many conditions here and abroad.
