Medical Massage Therapy

The lymphatic system is a system that requires movement, meaning it does not function on its own like the pumping of the heart does. I work with you to make sure the muscle groups are working optimally, and the neural pathways is speaking to the body in a balanced way so that muscle movement takes place and is preserved.

Multi-Light Therapy

This targeted light therapy is used for muscle health, muscle repair, and skin rejuvenation. The red, blue, and infrared lights reach one inch deep, with precision, into the specific zones having had liposuction.

Microcurrent Therapy

By using accurate mild therapeutic electrical stimulation, adhesions, developing scar tissue, and fibrous tissue buildup are broken up, and the nervous system is stimulated to restore balance to the state of healing.

Reiki and Energetic Rebalancing

Reiki Massage Therapy is a Japanese form of energy healing that purifies and balances the energy flow in the body. As a result, the body's innate healing abilities improve, helping to establish optimal physical, emotional, and mental well-being.

Frequently Asked Questions

Lymphatic drainage massage is a soft, restorative technique designed to help your body's lymphatic system work more efficiently. This type of massage can reduce swelling, enhance circulation, and bolster your body's defenses. It uses light, rhythmic movements to encourage the flow of lymph fluid in your body.

After cosmetic surgery, lymphatic drainage massage helps minimize swelling after surgery, hastens recovery, enhances circulation, and helps reduce complications like scar tissue formation or uneven recovery. It supports the body's natural healing processes and helps attain optimal surgical results.

No, lymphatic drainage massage is very mild and shouldn't cause pain. The therapist uses soft pressure to promote lymph flow. Unlike deep tissue massage, it involves soft, flowing movements that are calming and pleasant.

The frequency depends on your specific needs. For post-liposuction recovery, we typically recommend 4 comprehensive complete sessions within one month. For maintenance or chronic swelling treatment, sessions may be on a weekly basis or as recommended by your healthcare provider.

During a session, you can expect a consultation about your medical history and desired outcomes, soft rhythmic movements to promote lymph flow, a very relaxing experience, and post-session instructions including drinking water and taking it easy. Sessions typically last about 45-60 minutes.

Lymphatic therapy is helpful for surgical recovery patients (especially after liposuction), people with chronic swelling or persistent inflammation, active individuals seeking muscle recovery, and anyone feeling tired or overwhelmed who wants to boost their immune health and well-being.

Lymphatic drainage massage is a mild, therapeutic technique designed to help your body's lymphatic network work optimally. This type of massage can reduce swelling, improve circulation, and strengthen your body's defenses. Whether you're healing after surgery, addressing swelling, or just want to improve your well-being, lymphatic therapy might be the answer you're looking for.

What is Lymphatic Drainage?

Lymphatic therapy is a unique kind of massage that focuses on your lymphatic system. The lymphatic network is a system of organs and tissues that help your body remove toxins, unwanted materials, and other toxic elements. It also helps your body's defenses fight infections. When this system isn't working optimally, you might experience inflammation, pain, or feel fatigued all the time.

This massage uses gentle, wave-like movements to encourage the flow of lymph in your body. Unlike aggressive bodywork, it's very mild and doesn't involve strong pressure. It's often used to help people navigate post-surgical recovery, minimize swelling, or enhance their total wellness.

How Does Lymphatic Therapy Work?

The lymph system doesn't have a natural pump like the heart to move lymphatic fluid around. Instead, it relies on physical activity and breath work to keep things moving. Sometimes, though, the system can get clogged or slow down. This can happen after surgery, during illness, or if you're not very physically active.

Lymphatic Therapy helps by:

  1. Promoting Lymph Flow: The gentle movements promote lymphatic fluid to move through your body.

  2. Decreasing Swelling: By improving circulation, it can reduce swelling in areas like your limbs, lower body, or neck.

  3. Boosting Immunity: It helps your body eliminate waste, which can enhance your immune system.

  4. Facilitating Relaxation: The soft touch can help you feel peaceful and comfortable.

  • Minimizes Swelling: It's great for people with fluid retention or swelling after surgery.

  • People with Lymphedema: A condition where lymph fluid builds up and causes swelling.

  • Athletes: It can help with recovery and minimize soreness.

  • Anyone Feeling Drained or Overwhelmed: It's a great way to de-stress and feel better.

  1. Assessment: The therapist will ask about your wellness background and objectives for the massage.

  2. Gentle Movements: The therapist will use gentle, rhythmic strokes to promote lymph flow.

  3. Calmness: You'll likely feel very peaceful during and after the session.

  4. Follow-up Instructions: You might be advised to drink water and rest after the massage.
