Medical Massage Therapy

The lymph system is a movement-dependent system, meaning it does not operate independently like the beating of the heart does. I work with you to guarantee the muscles are functioning at their best, and the neural pathways is coordinating with the body in a harmonious way so that muscle movement occurs and is preserved.

Multi-Light Therapy

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

Microcurrent Therapy

By using accurate low-level microcurrents, adhesions, developing scar tissue, and tough fibrous knots are released, and the nervous system's function is activated to restore balance to the recovery mode.

Reiki and Energetic Rebalancing

Reiki Massage Therapy is a traditional Japanese healing technique that purifies and harmonizes the energy patterns in the body. As a result, the body's inherent healing capacity strengthen, helping to promote ideal physical, emotional, and mental well-being.

Lymphatic drainage massage is a gentle, restorative technique designed to help your body's lymphatic system work better. This type of massage can reduce swelling, improve circulation, and support your immune health. Whether you're in post-surgical recovery, managing swelling, or just want to enhance your health, lymphatic massage might be the answer you're looking for.

What is Lymphatic Drainage?

Lymphatic therapy is a special kind of massage that focuses on your lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is a network of organs and organs that help your body get rid of harmful substances, toxins, and other unwanted materials. It also helps your body's defenses fight diseases. When this system isn't working properly, you might experience fluid retention, pain, or feel tired all the time.

This massage uses light, flowing movements to stimulate the flow of lymph fluid in your body. Unlike aggressive bodywork, it's very mild and doesn't involve forceful manipulation. It's often used to help people heal after surgery, minimize swelling, or boost their general well-being.

How Does Lymphatic Drainage Work?

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

Lymphatic Massage helps by:

  1. Promoting Lymph Flow: The soft movements stimulate lymph fluid to move through your body.

  2. Reducing Swelling: By enhancing circulation, it can reduce swelling in areas like your arms, legs, or head and neck region.

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

  4. Encouraging Relaxation: The soft touch can help you feel peaceful and comfortable.
