Medical Massage Therapy

The lymph system is a movement-dependent system, meaning it does not work independently like the pumping of the heart does. I work with you to make sure the muscles are functioning efficiently, and the nervous system is coordinating with the body in a harmonious way so that muscle movement happens and is sustained.

Multi-Light Therapy

This light-targeted therapy is used for muscle health, muscle repair, and skin restoration. The red, blue, and infrared lights extend into deeper tissue layers, with precision, into the select regions having had liposuction.

Microcurrent Therapy

By using accurate gentle microcurrents, adhesions, scar tissue formation, and tough fibrous knots are broken up, and the nervous system's function is encouraged to restore balance to the healing state.

Reiki and Energetic Rebalancing

Reiki Healing is a Japanese form of energy healing that cleanses and aligns the energetic pathways in the body. As a result, the body's natural self-healing mechanisms improve, helping to foster ideal holistic wellness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Lymphatic massage is a mild, therapeutic technique designed to help your body's lymph system work better. This type of massage can minimize swelling, enhance circulation, and support your body's defenses. It uses soft, flowing movements to stimulate the flow of lymph fluid in your body.

After cosmetic surgery, lymphatic drainage massage helps decrease swelling after surgery, accelerates recovery, enhances circulation, and helps avoid complications like scar tissue formation or irregular healing. It encourages the body's innate recovery mechanisms and helps reach optimal surgical results.

No, lymphatic treatment is very soft and shouldn't cause pain. The therapist uses gentle pressure to promote lymph flow. Unlike intense massage, it involves light, flowing movements that are calming and comfortable.

The frequency depends on your personal needs. For post-surgical healing, we typically recommend four complete sessions within 30 days. For general wellness or chronic swelling treatment, sessions may be on a weekly basis or as advised by your healthcare provider.

During a session, you can expect a assessment about your wellness goals and desired outcomes, soft flowing movements to stimulate lymph flow, a very calming experience, and follow-up instructions including staying hydrated and relaxation. Sessions typically last about 45 minutes.

Lymphatic drainage massage is advantageous for post-surgery patients (especially after liposuction), people with chronic swelling or ongoing edema, active individuals seeking muscle recovery, and anyone feeling drained or stressed who wants to strengthen their immune health and general health.

Lymphatic massage is a gentle, therapeutic technique designed to help your body's lymphatic network work optimally. This type of massage can decrease swelling, improve circulation, and support your immune health. Whether you're in post-surgical recovery, addressing swelling, or just want to feel better, lymphatic therapy might be the answer you're looking for.

What is Lymphatic Therapy?

Lymphatic therapy is a special kind of massage that focuses on your lymphatic network. The lymphatic system is a collection of tissues and components that help your body remove waste, waste, and other harmful substances. It also helps your body's defenses fight illnesses. When this system isn't working correctly, you might experience inflammation, soreness, or feel drained all the time.

This massage uses gentle, wave-like movements to promote the flow of lymphatic fluid in your body. Unlike intense massage, it's very soft and doesn't involve deep pressure. It's often used to help people heal after surgery, decrease swelling, or boost their total wellness.

How Does Lymphatic Therapy Work?

The lymphatic network doesn't have a pump like the heart to move fluid around. Instead, it relies on body movement and breath work to keep things moving. Sometimes, though, the system can get blocked 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 light movements stimulate lymph to move through your body.

  2. Minimizing Swelling: By improving circulation, it can minimize swelling in areas like your extremities, lower body, or neck.

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

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

Benefits of Lymphatic Massage

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.

  • Accelerates Recovery: It can help you heal faster after surgery or injury.

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

  • Increases 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-Surgery Patients: It's often used after cosmetic surgery or other procedures to reduce swelling.

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

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

  • Anyone Feeling Tired or Overwhelmed: 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. Evaluation: The therapist will ask about your wellness background and desired outcomes for the massage.

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

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

  4. Follow-up Instructions: You might be advised to drink water and rest after the massage.

Lymphatic massage is a beneficial way to support your body's natural healing processes. Whether you're in post-surgical recovery, managing swelling, or just want to improve your well-being, this soft massage can make a big difference. If you're interested in trying it, reach out to a certified therapist in your area. Remember to drink plenty of water and rest after your session to get the most benefits.
