Medical Massage Therapy

Your lymphatic network is a manual system, meaning it does not function independently like the beating of the heart does. I work with you to ensure the muscles are functioning at their best, and the brain is speaking to the body in a balanced way so that mobility occurs and is sustained.

Multi-Light Therapy

This light-targeted therapy is used for healthy muscle, muscle repair, and restoring skin. The red, blue, and near-infrared lights extend deep into the tissue, with accuracy, into the select regions that have undergone liposuction.

Microcurrent Therapy

Utilizing precise low-level therapeutic electrical stimulation, sticky tissues, developing scar tissue, and tough fibrous knots are released, and the nervous system is encouraged to restore balance to the recovery mode.

Reiki and Energetic Rebalancing

Reiki Healing is a Japanese form of energy healing that cleanses and aligns the energy flow in the body. As a result, the body's inherent healing capacity strengthen, helping to promote optimum holistic wellness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Lymphatic drainage massage is a mild, healing technique designed to help your body's lymphatic network work optimally. This type of massage can decrease swelling, enhance circulation, and bolster your immune health. It uses soft, wave-like movements to promote the flow of lymph fluid in your body.

After body contouring, lymphatic drainage massage helps decrease swelling after surgery, accelerates recovery, enhances circulation, and helps prevent complications like fibrosis or uneven recovery. It encourages the body's self-healing abilities and helps achieve ideal surgical results.

No, lymphatic drainage massage is very soft and shouldn't cause pain. The therapist uses light pressure to encourage lymph flow. Unlike deep tissue massage, it involves gentle, rhythmic movements that are soothing and comfortable.

The frequency depends on your personal needs. For recovery after liposuction, we typically recommend 4 comprehensive thorough sessions within 30 days. For general wellness or lymphedema management, sessions may be once a week or as recommended by your medical professional.

During a session, you can expect a consultation about your health and desired outcomes, soft rhythmic movements to encourage lymph flow, a very calming experience, and aftercare instructions including fluid intake and resting. Sessions typically last about 45-60 minutes.

Lymphatic therapy is helpful for surgical recovery patients (especially after body contouring), people with lymphedema or chronic swelling, active individuals seeking muscle recovery, and anyone feeling tired or overwhelmed who wants to boost their body's defenses and well-being.

Lymphatic therapy is a gentle, restorative technique designed to help your body's lymphatic network work better. This type of massage can reduce swelling, improve circulation, and bolster your immune health. Whether you're recovering from surgery, addressing swelling, or just want to feel better, lymphatic massage might be the answer you're looking for.

What is Lymphatic Drainage?

Lymphatic massage is a unique kind of massage that focuses on your lymphatic system. The lymphatic network is a network of organs and organs that help your body remove harmful substances, toxins, and other toxic elements. It also helps your immune system fight diseases. When this system isn't working optimally, you might experience fluid retention, discomfort, or feel drained all the time.

This massage uses soft, wave-like movements to stimulate the flow of lymph in your body. Unlike aggressive bodywork, it's very mild and doesn't involve deep pressure. It's often used to help people recover from surgery, minimize swelling, or improve their general well-being.

How Does Lymphatic Therapy Work?

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

Lymphatic Therapy helps by:

  1. Encouraging Lymph Flow: The light movements stimulate lymph fluid to move through your body.

  2. Minimizing Swelling: By boosting circulation, it can decrease swelling in areas like your limbs, lower body, or upper body.

  3. Strengthening Immunity: It helps your body remove waste, which can enhance your immune health.

  4. Facilitating Relaxation: The soothing touch can help you feel calm and at ease.

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

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

  • Accelerates 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.

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

This massage is helpful for many people, including:

  • Post-Operative Patients: It's often used after body contouring or other procedures to reduce swelling.

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

  • Athletes: It can help with performance enhancement and reduce soreness.

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

What to Expect During a Lymphatic Therapy

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

  1. Consultation: The therapist will ask about your medical history and objectives for the massage.

  2. Soft Movements: The therapist will use gentle, wave-like strokes to promote lymph flow.

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

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