oxygen, nutrients and help remove metabolic waste.
- Muscle relaxation;
negative pressure helps release muscle tension and pain.

helps move and stretch the fascia, reducing adhesions and restrictions in the connective tissues.
- Improved mobility (mind & body);
aids in increasing range of motion and movement, which then increases endorphins and can have a positive effect on mental health & more.

Benefits:
- Promotes deep muscle relaxation
- Improved circulation
- Detoxification
- Pain relief

On National Truth and Reconciliation Day we wear an orange shirt in support of conversations, stories and raising awareness of our past, present and future work still to be done. A small gesture of acknowledgment to recognize the atrocities and multi-generational effects (epigenetics) of the Canadian Indian residential school system.

We wear the orange shirt in respect to Phyllis Webstad and her experience as a residential school Survivor whose new orange shirt was taken away on her first day at residential school in 1973, a story that led to Orange Shirt Day and the message “Every Child Matters”. She founded the Orange Shirt Society to share her experience and raise awareness about the lasting harm of the residential school system, touring the country to promote truth and reconciliation.

What is epigenetics?
Epigenetics explains how passed-down trauma may alter gene expression without changing the underlying DNA sequence, potentially influencing a child’s stress response, anxiety, and other health risks. While environmental factors like early care are influential, evidence suggests epigenetic changes in germ cells (eggs and s***m) could be a mechanism by which a parent’s traumatic experiences are transmitted to their offspring, creating a biological memory of the trauma.

Research support epigenetics in the following examples;
- Holocaust Survivors: Research on the descendants of Holocaust survivors has shown epigenetic differences linked to their parents’ experiences, even though the children did not directly experience the events.
- Residential Schools: Studies have found a relationship between intergenerational trauma and epigenetics in families of residential school survivors in Canada.
- Veterans: Studies have also identified epigenetic differences in the DNA of s***m from Vietnam War veterans suffering from PTSD, which were linked to mental health conditions in their children.
