Medical Massage Therapy

The lymph system is a manual system, meaning it does not operate on its own like the beating of the heart does. I work with you to make sure the muscular system are operating at their best, and the nervous system is coordinating with the body in a harmonious way so that muscle movement occurs and is preserved.

Multi-Light Therapy

This targeted light therapy is used for muscle health, repairing muscles, and restoring skin. The red, blue, and infrared lights reach one inch deep, with precision, into the select regions that have undergone liposuction.

Microcurrent Therapy

Through the use of precise low-level therapeutic electrical stimulation, tissue adhesions, forming scar tissue, and tough fibrous knots are broken up, and the nervous system is stimulated to rebalance to the recovery mode.

Reiki and Energetic Rebalancing

Reiki Therapy is a ancient Japanese practice that purifies and harmonizes the energetic pathways in the body. As a result, the body's natural self-healing mechanisms enhance, helping to foster optimal physical, emotional, and mental well-being.

Frequently Asked Questions

Lymphatic therapy is a soft, healing technique designed to help your body's lymphatic system work optimally. This type of massage can minimize swelling, boost circulation, and support your immune health. It uses gentle, flowing movements to promote the flow of lymphatic fluid in your body.

After cosmetic surgery, lymphatic drainage massage helps reduce swelling after surgery, accelerates recovery, boosts circulation, and helps prevent complications like fibrosis or irregular healing. It supports the body's innate recovery mechanisms and helps reach optimal surgical results.

No, lymphatic drainage massage is very soft and shouldn't hurt. The therapist uses soft pressure to stimulate lymph flow. Unlike intense massage, it involves gentle, wave-like movements that are soothing and pleasant.

The frequency depends on your specific needs. For post-surgical healing, we typically recommend four thorough sessions within one month. For maintenance or chronic swelling treatment, sessions may be weekly or as recommended by your healthcare provider.

During a session, you can expect a consultation about your wellness goals and objectives, soft rhythmic movements to encourage lymph flow, a very relaxing experience, and post-session instructions including fluid intake and taking it easy. Sessions typically last about 45 minutes.

Lymphatic drainage massage is beneficial for post-operative individuals (especially after body contouring), people with chronic swelling or persistent inflammation, active individuals seeking recovery support, and anyone feeling fatigued or overwhelmed who wants to boost their immune health and general health.

Lymphatic therapy is a gentle, restorative technique designed to help your body's lymphatic system work optimally. 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 lymphatic network is a collection of structures and organs that help your body get rid of waste, unwanted materials, and other toxic elements. It also helps your body's defenses fight infections. When this system isn't working properly, you might experience fluid retention, pain, or feel fatigued all the time.

This massage uses gentle, rhythmic movements to encourage the flow of lymph in your body. Unlike aggressive bodywork, it's very soft and doesn't involve deep pressure. It's often used to help people heal after surgery, decrease swelling, or improve their total wellness.

How Does Lymphatic Drainage Work?

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

Lymphatic Massage helps by:

  1. Encouraging Lymph Flow: The soft movements encourage lymphatic fluid to move through your body.

  2. Reducing Swelling: By improving circulation, it can minimize swelling in areas like your limbs, lower body, or head and neck region.

  3. Strengthening Immunity: It helps your body eliminate waste, which can strengthen your immune system.

  4. Promoting Relaxation: The soothing touch can help you feel relaxed and at ease.
