Deep Muscle Stimulator
What is DMS?
The Deep Muscle Stimulator (DMS) utilizes percussion and mechanical vibrations to penetrate deep into muscle tissue, enhancing proprioceptive functions. It effectively addresses muscle pain caused by conditions like strain, lactic acid buildup, and scar tissue, outperforming other devices on the market. The DMS promotes:
-
Improved circulation
-
Pain reduction
-
Faster injury recovery
-
Increased lymphatic flow
-
Breakdown of scar tissue
-
Reduced lactic acid buildup
-
Tissue regeneration
-
Active tissue release
Targeting muscle spasms, the DMS boosts metabolism, speeds up the lactic acid cycle, and provides relief from pain through deep, rapid percussion. It's effective for managing both acute and chronic pain, including migraines, sciatica, TMJ, carpal tunnel, tendonitis, and more. By stimulating nerve receptors, it enhances blood flow, aiding muscle recovery and flexibility. The DMS helps balance muscles, improve posture, and promote more efficient movement. It's also used in integrated manual therapy and musculoskeletal dysfunction, supporting overall muscle conditioning and recovery from soft tissue injuries.
BIO
My Journey to Becoming a Holistic Practitioner, Military PTA, and Business Owner.
From a young age, I was deeply engaged in physical activity. Whether it was playing outside, studying martial arts in elementary school, or competing in organized sports throughout my college years, I was always pushing my body to its limits. This drive continued when I joined the United States Marine Corps, where I took my physical endurance even further. However, by my mid-20s, I began to feel the wear and tear on my body. I sought physical therapy, which involved heat, ice, ultrasound treatments, and NSAID prescriptions—temporary solutions that allowed me to keep going, only to find myself back in therapy again shortly after.
After my time in the USMC, I transitioned to working as a medical assistant for a Naturopath and Holistic Chiropractor. This experience introduced me to alternative methods of healing, where I learned valuable techniques and modalities for promoting overall wellness. I trained extensively in kinesiology, athletic taping, and other holistic practices, eventually accumulating over 1,000 hours of training to become a licensed massage therapist.
It was during this time that I discovered the Deep Muscle Stimulator (DMS), a groundbreaking device that uses percussion and mechanical vibrations to deeply stimulate muscle tissue. The DMS targets muscle pain caused by strain, lactic acid buildup, scar tissue, and other conditions, providing unmatched benefits such as:
-
Increased circulation
-
Reduced pain
-
Faster injury recovery
-
Enhanced lymphatic flow
-
Breakdown of muscular scar tissue
-
Reduced lactic acid accumulation
-
Tissue regeneration
-
Active tissue release
I had the opportunity to work with a retired athletic trainer who used the DMS to help athletes at all levels—from high school competitors to Division I athletes, Olympians, and professionals. At the same time, I worked as a massage therapist at a prestigious 5-star resort, where I honed my craft and felt like I had truly found my calling. However, I couldn't shake the feeling that something was missing—I missed serving my military brothers and sisters.
With my knowledge and experience, I knew I could help fellow service members recover more effectively and efficiently. This desire led me to join the United States Air Force as a Physical Therapist Assistant, where I was able to combine my expertise with my passion for helping others.
In 2012, I opened Parris Island Therapy—a name that honors the Marine Corps' Parris Island Recruit Depot, where female recruits become Marines. After years of growth and success, Parris Island Therapy evolved into Island DMS in Newport, Rhode Island, where we continue to serve both military personnel and civilians with advanced therapeutic treatments.
I am proud to bring a holistic approach to healing and rehabilitation, combining traditional physical therapy techniques with innovative, cutting-edge solutions like the Deep Muscle Stimulator. My mission is to help others recover faster, feel better, and live their healthiest, most active lives.
