Seqex Testimonial on Depression and Anxiety

 

I was diagnosed with major depressive disorder and anxiety July of 2017.  What I did not realize is that I had struggled with this all my life…but with increased work stress and other personal stressors, the condition became unbearable to the point where I was unable to work or interact with my family and friends.  I was determined, not to be placed on medication, as I wanted to get to the core of my condition and learn to deal with it from the root as I knew this was a condition I would need to manage for the rest of my life.  That said, I agreed with my doctor that if I was unable to move forward after period of time, I would consider medication if my doctor felt it was necessary.  As part of my treatment, I was seeing two different Doctors for two different therapies 1/week over several months….it was very difficult and taxing and while there was some progress…I still struggled.  One of my biggest issues was being able to sleep…and as was learning, without sleep everything falls apart.  There came as time in october 2017 that I did agree to try sleeping pills….I took one dose per my doctor’s instructions and was very negatively impacted by the side effects….to the point I could not function the day the pill had been taken and even up to a few days later.  The days that I took sleeping pills to help me sleep, my depression seemed to worsen to the point, I would not even get out of bed….I tried half the dose and still I found the effects to be unbearable.

 

Enter Health Energies….while in Collingwood for March break 2018 I decided I would visit Health Energies to try the Seqex bed again….a few years back I had had an opportunity to try the bed and recalled having the best sleep ever so thought I could try it again.  After speaking with Kim, I decided I would try the bed every day for the week while we were in Collingwood and see if there was any relief.  During this time a couple of things happened….after my first session, I noticed, I was peaceful and happy….and rather than retreat into a dark room, I wanted to be around people…this continued for the week…I had not felt this way for a very long time.  Second, I was able to finally sleep….and my quality of sleep was vastly improved.  I found myself, wanting to go to bed earlier and sleeping through the night, and waking up refreshed without any nasty side effects of medication.  Third, my family noticed my shift in mood.  My husband was in awe of how much happier and at ease I was, so much so that he encouraged me to purchase my own Seqex so that I could continue my work with the Seqex.

 

At this point, my symptoms have improved dramatically, I continue to use Seqex to help me when I encounter sleep issues and when I feel uneasy due to my anxiety.  I also continue to pursue therapy, but it is significantly reduced, with one Doctor and is really more a maintenance visit.  I am so grateful and happy I was able to help myself recover and without the need to take anti-depressants.  I have resumed activities that I once enjoyed but had stopped because of my depression and anxiety, such as running, cooking, spending time with family and friends.  I continue to use Seqex as a preventative measure to ensure I continue to achieve optimal sleep and keep my anxiety in check.  I would highly recommend trying Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy either on it’s own or in conjunction with other forms of therapy.

 

Thank you Kim and Jackie for giving me hope and options when I was sure there was nothing left to help me.

After injuring my neck, which resulted in severe pain and very limited mobility, I immediately pursued treatment with my physiotherapist. She assessed my condition and concluded it would take four weeks of treatments to remedy.  After only three Seqex treatments, I was pain free and my mobility in my neck improved significantly. It has been an effective tool to help my body recharge and reduce inflammation.

 

Throughout the past four months I have had the opportunity to undergo treatments on the Seqex bed during the trial period at our station.  By only having access to the bed during my shifts, the difference in my range of motion and the reduction in my lower back pain is evident when compared to my time off shift when I am not using the Seqex.  During my days off (and away from the Seqex) the lower back pain and stiffness that I have experienced for years gradually returns, only to be relieved again when treatments are resumed.  Perhaps the most noticeable benefit is the improvement of sleep quality upon returning home after a shift where I had an opportunity to use the Seqex.

When I lay on the Seqex,  I notice it helps me with my back pain and tightness.
I also have noticed when I do a treatment it helps me sleep better.
I feel more relaxed after being on it for a treatment.

On a returning flight from vacation I had a bakers cyst rupture behind my knee, which was incredibly painful and made my leg very red, swollen and tight.

My doctor told me that the fluid would gradually be reabsorbed into the body within a few weeks. The recommended treatment for a ruptured cyst is rest, elevation and prescription painkillers.

Two Seqex treatments helped me manage the pain, gave me immediate relief from the swelling and did not require any pain medication.  I have continued to use Seqex as part of my routine as I find it helps the stiffness in my back and helps me sleep better.

My husband has a weak back. He frequently has pain in the lower back which is severe and takes a long time to go away. Since we bought Seqex, he started using it for back pain. He noticed that the mat lessens the pain and makes it go away much faster. He also uses the mat when he has difficulty sleeping and it helps him to fall asleep faster and sleep better through the night. We are happy that the machine comes with different settings and can be used for different purposes.

Thank you!

Pain Relief and Improved Recovery Time

I have benefitted in many ways from using my seqex mat over the past few years. At one point arthritis was increasing in my lower back and legs to the degree that I was finding it difficult to get in and out of a car. After a period of using my mat daily for less than 3 months I felt so much of the arthritis was gone that I was easily hopping in and out of any vehicle. Last December I was rushing up our winding staircase from the ground level, carrying several items in my arms. I remembered something I had forgotten after only going up 5 or 6 stairs. I immediatley started to reverse my steps now going backwards but still hurrying. I lost my balance and my grip on the stair railing and went flying down the stairs and around the corner at the end, landing with a thud on my backside. At first I lay almost in a ball trying to escape the immediate pain I was experiencing and wondering if an ambulance had to be called. But in less than 10 mins. I decided I was going to force myself to somehow get up the stairs to our bedroom where my seqex mat is and get on it! So that was what I did and after one treatment I immediately felt the pain start to subside and and the trauma I had caused to my back start to heal. I credit this speedy change in my painful experience to the mat. I used it many more times and eventually with time the injury healed but much quicker than normal, especially for a 71 year old woman.

The final experience I want to share as an example of just how wonderful this mat works and its healing capabilities involved a bad cut. I had been hastily setting up an extra stand (about 3’ tall) with a heavy ceramic tile on top, for a friend to set her teacup on when I knocked over the stand and the hard tile on top crashed on my big foot. My big toe started bleeding profusely and had to be bound up to get it to stop. Shortly afterwards I was able to go upstairs again to use the mat and I actually fell asleep on it. I used it again that night and the next morning. The cut was about an inch long and surprisingly quite deep – enough to have required a stitch or two in the past to close it. But within the time frame I outlined above the cut had totally healed leaving no sign of a scar.

I feel the Seqex bed is of enormous benefit to my life and could be to our health system by speeding recovery times and easing pain more quickly for those who use it.
