FAQ

Who can use the Heskiers and Heskiers Method?

The Heskiers Method can be used by consumers, health care professionals, athletes of all disciplines, and just about everyone. It may be used by a healthcare professional on a patient or by the patient himself/herself for self-care. 

What is Interstitium?

Recently featured on CNN, the interstitium was hailed as a “newfound organ” in the body. The interstitium consists of fluid-filled spaces in the body’s connective tissue. It is significantly involved in our overall health and well-being. We are thrilled that scientific research has finally validated what Heskiers has been doing for the past 10 years. We have been observing, designing, and implementing newfound techniques based on our extensive knowledge of Oriental Medicine and ergonomic design to work on a broad, holistic spectrum of health and, specifically, with the interstitium and interstital fluid.

What is Interstitial Fluid?

Interstitial Fluid (IF) the transporter of all nutrients to the cells and also transports waste away from the cells.
Approximately 4 gallons (15 litres) of IF is constantly moving in our body.
25% of the interstitial fluid turns into lymph and the remaining 75% goes back into the blood vessels.
IF is supported by the hydrostatic pressure in the blood vessels and the osmotic pressure in the interstitium.
IF contains: Sugars/ Salts/ Fatty Acids/ Amino Acids/ Coenzymes/ Hormones/ Neurotransmitters/ Hyaluronic Acid
Increased flow rate of the IF has following important features:
    1. Minimizes inflammation and rebuilds discs.
    2. Increases waste removal from the cells.
    3. Increases lubrication of muscle tissue.
    4. Optimizes muscular performance and function.
    5. Promotes faster recovery.
    6. Increases cellular balance.
    7. Reduces the appearance of cellulite.
    8. Enhances levels of oxygen to muscle tissue to enhance performance.
    9. Promotes fluid movement into the jointsand, therefore, reduces potential joint injuries.

What is fascia manipulation?

Instrument assisted fascia mobilization is done by using the OneTool which enables clinicians to efficiently locate and treat individuals diagnosed with soft tissue dysfunction. Now a days fascia manipulation is performed with ergonomically designed instruments that detect and treat fascial restrictions, giving fast localization and effectively treat areas that shows soft tissue tightness/fibrosis, inflammation, or onset degeneration.

How do you clean the Heskiers?

Cleaning your Heskiers is very easy; rinse with alcohol or dish soap.  The Heskiers can be autoclaved, but that will reduce the lifespan of the product.  

What material is the Heskiers made from?

The Heskiers is made from medical grade nylon, that is used in prosthetics used inside the body.  The color of the Heskiers is also medical grade.  In addition, the Heskiers is BPA free.  

How long does a treatment take?

Using the Heskiers Method, you can experience results after 99 seconds using the '99 technique' embedded in the Heskiers Method.  This is possible because we are not using the outdated paradigm of 'no pain, no gain'.  Heskiers Method inspires and directs the body to gain homeostasis.
