769.0. "Cellulite Relief" by AKOV11::DUTTA () Wed Mar 23 1988 11:53

    I WAS JUST WONDERING--I HAVE A GIRLFRIEND IN FLORIDA THAT SWEARS
    BY "WRAPS" AS A WAY OF LOSING CELLULOSE.  I GUESS THEY WRAP YOUR
    LEGS AND ARMS AND STOMACH OR WHEREVER YOU HAVE CELLULOSE.  
    
    1.  HAS ANYONE OUT THERE EVER TRIED THIS METHOD?
    
    2.  DOES ANYONE KNOW OF A PLACE IN THE GREATER LOWELL
        AREA THAT OFFERS THIS METHOD?
    
    THANKS FOR ANY HELP!

769.2CORRECTION--CELLULITE!AKOV11::DUTTAWed Mar 23 1988 13:102
    YES, I DO, SORRY ABOUT THAT! I'M TALKING ABOUT THOSE NASTY BULGES
    YOU GET ON YOUR LEGS AND BUTTOCKS!
769.3Yup....they did go away!AIMHI::SCHELBERGWed Mar 23 1988 15:387
    I know horse back riding takes them away.....especially POSTING!
    
    Never heard of wrapping....medically I think the only way you can
    get rid of them is by exercising.....

    excuse me... i have to step in and say something...
    this has been mentioned one time before..
    horseback riding takes it away??
    i ride and train both english and western, as well as shown for
    15 years., i have yet to lose weight from it.
    it is a form of exercise, but if you spend as much time in the saddle
    as i have, you get used to it, and i have not seen any changes in
    my figure.               
              maybe i'm doin' some-thin' wrong??
    I have a palomino that needs to get ready for palomino world show
    championships:
    if it helps you, you are more than welcome to work my horse every
    day.          ;^)

    as far as wrapping i think they use a mudd type pack or creme and
    tightly wrap the skin,to compress it.
    although it has not been proven but i think it is similar to 
    what we do to reduce the horses necks, by sweating it out. 
    some people swear by them, some swear it them.
                              
    		                        
    			
    
769.5It went away - honest!AIMHI::SCHELBERGWed Mar 30 1988 16:3711
    Well it worked for me!  I had celluite on my fat thighs and after
    two years of horse back riding (I rode every week) it went away!
    
    In fact after I stopped it came back...luckily not as bad cuz I
    still do some aerobic exercising....I stopped riding cuz it was
    expensive and I didn't have my own horse....
    
    And I'm not the only one I know that it has helped....we figured
    that's what did it....I guess it depends on your body!

RE. 0 (Kim)

 
The wraps do work, but you can save yourself some money and do
it yourself.

First soak in a hot bath with epsom salts or sea salt. Then
take plastic wrap (Saran wrap or any other brand) and wrap
your legs, arms, buttocks, etc. up in it. (It's always nice to
have your SO help with this  :-) ) 

Put on a sweat suit and do some excercising (Rowing machine,
stationary bike, housework, etc.) for a couple of hours.

Gently massage the areas before and after to increase circulation.

Done regularly, a couple times a week, will show definite improvement,
and in many cases eliminate cellulite.

769.8FOUND A PLACE IN LOWELL!AKOV11::DUTTAThu Apr 14 1988 15:5625
    This is the author of this note.
    
    I justed wanted to let you know I found a place that offers the
    wraps I was inquiring about.
    
    It is called "Beverly Hills Concept", they are located on 110
    in Chelmsford across from CVS and Papa Ginos.  The so called
    wraps is a mud-pack method similiar to how they treat a bee
    sting and it's called "pulpus".  They are now running a special
    in the Lowell Sun for $48
    
    This includes:
    
        One body wrap (guaranteed to lose 6 inches the first time or
        your money back)
        3 Visits to their toning tables
        1 Suana
    
    I'm going for it!
    
    This method is European and is spreading fast in the United States.
    Will post my results after my visit.
