Medical Massage Therapy

The lymphatic system is a system that requires movement, meaning it does not operate on its own like the circulation of the heart does. I work with you to ensure the muscular system are working at their best, and the neural pathways is speaking to the body in a harmonious way so that muscle movement happens and is preserved.

Multi-Light Therapy

This light-targeted therapy is used for healthy muscle, muscle repair, and restoring skin. The therapeutic light spectrum penetrate into deeper tissue layers, with targeted focus, into the select regions having had liposuction.

By using carefully calibrated low-level low-level electrical currents, sticky tissues, forming scar tissue, and fibrous tissue buildup are broken up, and the nervous system's function is encouraged to return to equilibrium to the state of healing.

Reiki and Energetic Rebalancing

Lymphatic therapy is a soft, therapeutic technique designed to help your body's lymphatic network work better. This type of massage can decrease swelling, enhance circulation, and bolster your body's defenses. Whether you're recovering from surgery, dealing with swelling, or just want to improve your well-being, lymphatic massage might be the answer you're looking for.

What is Lymphatic Massage?

Lymphatic drainage massage is a special kind of massage that focuses on your lymphatic network. The lymphatic system is a system of structures and components that help your body remove toxins, waste, and other unwanted materials. It also helps your immune system fight illnesses. When this system isn't working optimally, you might experience inflammation, discomfort, or feel fatigued all the time.

This massage uses light, wave-like movements to promote the flow of lymph in your body. Unlike deep tissue massage, it's very gentle and doesn't involve forceful manipulation. It's often used to help people heal after surgery, reduce swelling, or boost their general well-being.

How Does Lymphatic Drainage Work?

The lymphatic network doesn't have a built-in pump like the heart to move lymph fluid around. Instead, it relies on physical activity and breath work to keep things moving. Sometimes, though, the system can get congested or become sluggish. This can happen after surgery, during illness, or if you're not very mobile.

Lymphatic Massage helps by:

  1. Stimulating Lymph Flow: The gentle movements stimulate lymphatic fluid to move through your body.

  2. Decreasing Swelling: By improving circulation, it can decrease swelling in areas like your arms, legs, or upper body.

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

  4. Encouraging Relaxation: The soft touch can help you feel calm and at ease.

  2. Gentle Movements: The therapist will use soft, rhythmic strokes to encourage lymph flow.

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

  4. Aftercare: You might be advised to drink water and rest after the massage.
