Total Body Vibration
At Piquant Spa & Gallery, we will only present the Best Treatments and Products based upon our extensive research and personal testing of each treatment or product.
General Benefits of Vibration:
The benefits of Vibration are incredible. Almost any ailment you can think of may be improved by Vibration in some way. This is because movement and exercise benefit almost every health issue in one way or another.
We make no health claims but have noted how improved fitness correlates with improved health.
An unexercised body is at risk of osteoporosis, muscle loss, inflexibility, obesity, edema, weakened immunity, toxicity, insomnia, chronic pain, digestive issues and depression.
Total Body Vibration improves bone density, muscle tone, flexibility, metabolic rate, the movement of lymph fluid, quality of deep sleep, and the generation of hormones. Total Body Vibration is an improved alternative to standard resistance exercise.
Client Session Preparation
· Please come well hydrated with water
· Wear non-skid shoes
· Review the contraindications prior to every session because your health situation may change in between sessions.
Important Note: We DO NOT diagnose, prescribe or treat for a specific condition.
Contraindications
If any of the following contraindications apply to you, please consult with your health care provider before engaging in Total Body Vibration:
· Implants: The concern is that aggressive vibrations may disturb these implants and cause problems in the body. Check with your health practitioner if you aren’t sure.
· Cataracts: With cataracts, the issue is again the vibration potentially shaking your cataract out of position. Check with your health practitioner.
· Recent Surgery: The concern here is that the vibrations can cause sutures to rupture. Give at least 6-8 weeks after surgery and only go ahead with your health practitioner’s approval.
· Cancer: This is a controversial one. While there are likely many healing benefits for people battling cancer, there are no studies to prove this yet. This is because the studies may risk the safety of the patient, and are, therefore, considered unethical. Again, check with your health practitioner.
· Pregnancy: Again, there are no studies to show whether vibration is safe during pregnancy because the risk is too great. Piquant Spa will not allow pregnant women, or women who think they may be pregnant, to use our machines.
This list is by no means exhaustive. If you have any health issues, you would be wise to check with your health care provider first.

Foot Detox
Foot detox (ion)
An Ionic Foot "Soak" Detox IS A SAFE and RELAXING way to pull the harmful toxins out of your body through your feet. Harmful toxins delay healing and they can create sickness, and disease that may result in death.
The ions in the foot bath water hold a charge that enables them to grab onto heavy metals and toxins in your body like a magnet. This allows the toxins to be pulled out through the bottoms of your feet.
Removing harmful toxins in general MAY:
- Remove toxins, free radicals and body waste products that can cause health problems.
- Provide a hostile environment for bacteria, fungi, infections, microbes, viruses and it provides a calming environment to reduce spasms.
- Reduce or remove from the body: Copper, Aluminum, Arsenic, Lead, Iron, Manganese, Antimony or Cadmium.
- Raise pH levels. A LOW PH makes an ideal breeding ground for worms, parasites, microorganisms and other critters that lower body function and cause disease.
- Aid in restoring proper function to the body. A properly functioning body may remove cellulite and fat deposits on its own.
Foot soaks can be a wonderful way to relax after a hard day or support the blood flow in the feet.
Our feet contain over 100 spinal reflex points that act as a direct access door to every muscle, bone, cell, organ and body system in the human body.
Whenever we remove harmful toxins from the spinal reflex points in our feet we MAY:
1. Improve the quality of sleep
2. Reducing swelling
3. Increase oxygen in the body
4. Relieving stress & Boosting mood
5. Increasing immunity to illness
6. Quicken recovery time from disease or injury
7. Improving heart health
8. Rejuvenate and energize your whole body
9. Slow down aging and improve body flexibility
10. Relieve pain and tension including headaches
11. Purify the blood and lymph
12. Increase peripheral circulation
13. Stimulate and balance the immune system
14. Enhance nutrient absorption
15. Reduce inflammation and unwanted fluid retention
16. Help clear up skin
