Seniors looking to improve their wellbeing know that the world of health care can be an overwhelming place. With so many options to choose from, it’s hard to know where to start.
Traditional methods of health care such as massage therapy may work for some, but others might look for an alternative.
A Kelowna-based company lauded a method as a do-it-all service that reportedly helps alleviate a variety of ailments.
Odette’s Skincare and Medi Spa takes a different approach to skin care and wellness and uses a procedure called enderomology. Primarily a skin care and face lift service, Odette’s Skincare and Medi Spa has been helping Kelowna seniors feel healthy and look great doing the same for years.
The Endermologie process ventilates the tissue through gentle suction and rolling, which increases the patient’s lymphatic drainage by 300 percent and blood circulation by 600 percent.
Endermologie devices have been used in hospitals for the treatment of some diseases, especially in Europe, for around 30 years. It was originally developed to treat scars and burns and is still used today in large recreation centers to treat back pain.
Although Odette’s is primarily for facelifts, fat cellulite reduction, injury recovery, lymphatic drainage, water retention, to name a few, Odette Baumgartner believes endermologie treatments have a variety of health benefits.
“We have had many seniors who, for example, had hip prostheses that are still very stiff, so that helps with mobility, flexibility … it helps with inflammation, it helps with pain,” says Baumgartner, owner of Odette’s.
In addition, it is painless and non-contact. The process doesn’t require anyone to touch you. She lauded it as the world’s only non-invasive medical treatment for reducing fat and cellulite.
“It (Endermologie) will even increase or replace the need for things like shock wave therapy, IMS, acupuncture, massage therapy,” she said.
Another popular treatment for seniors that Odette offers is a live blood test, also known as an “internal selfie,” according to Baumgartner. After this examination, Odette’s can help with diet and daily food intake changes.
She advised that those with any type of illness, chronic pain, fatigue, or immobility should simply try Odette’s alternative approach to improving their health.
“When you come to us, you will be trained so that you can make your own decisions,” she said.
She said the world of healthcare can be an overwhelming place for seniors.
“We see that many … older people can be skeptical because their children tell them what to do, their doctor tells them what to do, everyone tells them what to do,” said Baumgartner.
“So come here and we’ll tell you what to do. We simplify everything for you and then let you make your own decisions. ”
