Not for everyone! (Must use SAFELY with a partner)
The Bi-Polar Roller is and intense acupressure treatment for your feet. The first several treatments hurt, but soon it becomes addictive as adhesions are broken up over time. You stand on the pipe, while your partner rolls back and forth, the pressure of your bodyweight hitting your feet from mid-heel to curling toes on the soles. Remember to point toes up as it gets further to the heel to counter the weight and keep you from slipping off. (See.. not for everyone…)
Use the device by the massage tables so you can lean over and place your hands on it, which gives balance and removes a portion of your full bodyweight. If you take the chance and you bust your ass, you bust your ass. But you bust your ass on your own dime because UNWIND - BODY & MIND INC accepts this as our waiver of responsibility.
(Why it’s great)
Everything is connected, and reflexively, your feet are a representation of your entire body while other ways of thinking layer on the feet representing your past, energetically. I theorize the feet are well worth the cost of pampering and professional attention. My friend owns an amazing new place downtown, called Sarahndipity in Hobart. (Go check them out - they’re the beeeest)
So! By purchasing this service, you waive any claim against Unwind - Body & Mind Inc., or Chicago Health & Fitness for what you do or how you may hurt yourself while using this piece of equipment (or any others you may use).

Comfrey-infused olive oil (& herbs in the case of the poultice) is placed on the body to set in under a covering or wrapped with a reusable, oil-infused gauze bandage.
Take-home option.
Multiple-use application pads or gauze. Poultice is a crushed herb blend which can be divided and stored for several weeks or months if stored properly.
Comfrey is densely infused into olive oil and then a gauze is soaked and placed on the afflicted area. In the case of the poultice, the herbs and oil are placed on the body to set in under a covering and heated with hot stones or a heating pad to help the healing oil penetrate into the skin as it is our biggest organ and absorbs the properties through prolonged, direct contact.

Faster is not better, each speed focusing on a different area of the back, while improving lymph movement and restoring healthy energy flow, while moving out blockages. That’s why they call some the Chi Machine. The best part is the 10 seconds after it stops when your body tingles.
