Medical Massage Therapy

The lymph system is a system that requires movement, meaning it does not operate independently like the circulation of the heart does. I work with you to ensure the muscles are operating at their best, and the brain is coordinating with the body in a balanced way so that mobility happens and is sustained.

Multi-Light Therapy

This targeted light therapy is used for muscle health, muscle repair, and restoring skin. The red, blue, and near-infrared lights reach deep into the tissue, with targeted focus, into the select regions having had liposuction.

Microcurrent Therapy

Through the use of precise mild microcurrents, tissue adhesions, forming scar tissue, and hard fibrotic knots are dissolved, and the neural function is activated to restore balance to the state of healing.

Reiki and Energetic Rebalancing

Reiki Massage Therapy is a traditional Japanese healing technique that purifies and balances the energy flow in the body. As a result, the body's innate healing abilities improve, helping to foster ideal holistic wellness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Lymphatic therapy is a soft, therapeutic technique designed to help your body's lymph system work better. This type of massage can decrease swelling, enhance circulation, and strengthen your immune system. It uses light, wave-like movements to promote the flow of lymphatic fluid in your body.

After cosmetic surgery, lymphatic drainage massage helps minimize post-surgical swelling, hastens recovery, improves circulation, and helps reduce complications like tissue hardening or irregular healing. It encourages the body's self-healing abilities and helps reach ideal surgical results.

No, lymphatic therapy is very soft and shouldn't be uncomfortable. The therapist uses soft pressure to stimulate lymph flow. Unlike deep tissue massage, it involves soft, flowing movements that are relaxing and comfortable.

The frequency depends on your specific needs. For recovery after liposuction, we typically recommend 4 complete sessions within a month's time. For overall health or chronic swelling treatment, sessions may be on a weekly basis or as advised by your doctor.

During a session, you can expect a consultation about your medical history and objectives, light wave-like movements to stimulate lymph flow, a very calming experience, and aftercare instructions including staying hydrated and resting. Sessions typically last about an hour.

Lymphatic therapy is beneficial for post-operative individuals (especially after cosmetic surgery), people with chronic swelling or persistent inflammation, athletes seeking recovery support, and anyone feeling fatigued or overwhelmed who wants to support their immune health and general health.

Lymphatic drainage massage is a soft, therapeutic technique designed to help your body's lymph system work better. This type of massage can decrease swelling, improve circulation, and bolster your immune health. Whether you're recovering from surgery, addressing swelling, or just want to improve your well-being, lymphatic drainage massage might be the solution you're looking for.

What is Lymphatic Massage?

Lymphatic drainage massage is a specialized kind of massage that focuses on your lymph system. The lymph system is a network of organs and tissues that help your body get rid of toxins, unwanted materials, and other toxic elements. It also helps your immune system fight diseases. When this system isn't working correctly, you might experience swelling, pain, or feel fatigued all the time.

This massage uses soft, rhythmic movements to promote the flow of lymphatic fluid in your body. Unlike aggressive bodywork, it's very gentle and doesn't involve forceful manipulation. It's often used to help people navigate post-surgical recovery, decrease swelling, or enhance their general well-being.

How Does Lymphatic Drainage Work?

The lymph system doesn't have a built-in pump like the heart to move lymph fluid around. Instead, it relies on physical activity and respiration to keep things flowing. Sometimes, though, the system can get blocked or lose efficiency. This can happen after surgery, during illness, or if you're not very mobile.

Lymphatic Massage helps by:

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

  2. Decreasing Swelling: By enhancing circulation, it can minimize swelling in areas like your arms, lower extremities, or head and neck region.

  3. Strengthening Immunity: It helps your body remove waste, which can enhance your body's defenses.

  4. Encouraging Relaxation: The gentle touch can help you feel peaceful and relaxed.

Benefits of Lymphatic Therapy

Here are some of the main benefits of this type of massage:

  • Reduces Swelling: It's great for people with chronic swelling or swelling after surgery.

  • Hastens Recovery: It can help you bounce back faster after surgery or injury.

  • Boosts Skin Health: By removing toxins, it can make your skin look more radiant.

  • Enhances Energy: Many people feel more energized after a session.

  • Strengthens Immune Health: It helps your body combat infections.

Who Can Benefit from Lymphatic Massage?

This massage is helpful for many people, including:

  • Post-Operative Patients: It's often used after liposuction or other procedures to minimize swelling.

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

  • Athletes: It can help with muscle recovery and reduce soreness.

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

What to Expect During a Lymphatic Massage

If you've never had this type of massage before, here's what you can expect:

  1. Consultation: The therapist will ask about your wellness background and desired outcomes for the massage.

  2. Light Movements: The therapist will use light, rhythmic strokes to encourage lymph flow.

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

  4. Post-Massage Care: You might be advised to drink water and rest after the massage.

Lymphatic drainage massage is a safe way to boost your body's natural healing processes. Whether you're recovering from surgery, dealing with swelling, or just want to enhance your health, this gentle massage can make a big difference. If you're interested in trying it, contact a qualified therapist in your area. Remember to drink plenty of water and rest after your session to get the most benefits.
