Medical Massage Therapy

The lymphatic system is a manual system, meaning it does not function independently like the circulation of the heart does. I work with you to ensure the muscle groups are working at their best, and the neural pathways is speaking to the body in a harmonious way so that mobility takes place and is preserved.

Multi-Light Therapy

This light-targeted therapy is used for muscular wellness, muscle restoration, and restoring skin. The therapeutic light spectrum extend into deeper tissue layers, with precision, into the specific zones that have undergone liposuction.

Microcurrent Therapy

Through the use of carefully calibrated gentle low-level electrical currents, adhesions, forming scar tissue, and tough fibrous knots are released, and the nervous system is encouraged to return to equilibrium to the recovery mode.

Reiki and Energetic Rebalancing

Reiki Massage Therapy is a Japanese form of energy healing that cleanses and harmonizes the energy flow in the body. As a result, the body's natural self-healing mechanisms improve, helping to establish optimal mental, emotional, and physical health.

Lymphatic therapy is a mild, therapeutic technique designed to help your body's lymphatic network work more efficiently. This type of massage can reduce swelling, improve circulation, and strengthen your body's defenses. Whether you're in post-surgical recovery, addressing swelling, or just want to feel better, lymphatic drainage massage might be the treatment you're looking for.

What is Lymphatic Massage?

Lymphatic massage is a special kind of massage that focuses on your lymph system. The lymphatic system is a network of tissues and organs that help your body remove harmful substances, unwanted materials, and other harmful substances. It also helps your immune health fight infections. When this system isn't working optimally, you might experience swelling, soreness, or feel drained all the time.

This massage uses light, rhythmic movements to stimulate the flow of lymph in your body. Unlike intense massage, it's very soft and doesn't involve strong pressure. It's often used to help people navigate post-surgical recovery, decrease swelling, or boost their overall health.

How Does Lymphatic Therapy Work?

The lymph system doesn't have a natural pump like the heart to move lymph fluid around. Instead, it relies on muscle movement and breathing 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 active.

Lymphatic Massage helps by:

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

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

  3. Strengthening Immunity: It helps your body remove harmful substances, which can strengthen your immune system.

  4. Facilitating Relaxation: The gentle touch can help you feel relaxed and comfortable.
