MASSAGE THERAPY
Massage therapy has long been used to aid in relaxation and stress relief. As such, it has often been viewed as pampering or a luxury, but massage therapy has many faces, and can be an integral part of health and well-being. It provides pain relief for overworked muscles, enhances circulation and immune system functioning, improves flexibility and mobility, aids in pre-surgery preparation and post-surgery rehabilitation, enhances athletic performance and recovery, helps improve scar tissue and function after an injury, and much more. Moreover, even the relaxation effect of massage therapy assists the body in being more receptive to healing, and the simple act of safe and restorative physical touch can provide the connection we all need these days.

Lymphatic Massage
For Immune Health, Minor Swelling, Pain Relief

Lymphatic Massage is a light, soothing technique also known as Manual Lymph Drainage which stimulates the lymphatic system and assists in moving fluid from areas of edema and facilitating the removal of toxins from the body more effectively. This technique along with intermittent diaphragmatic breathing is designed to open lymphatic pathways in the body to promote healthy lymph fluid movement, decongest tissues, minimize inflammation and support healing. Lymphatic work is a safe and effective way to assist people with lymphedema and other forms of fluid retention, especially after surgery or injury. Additionally, people with arthritis, gastrointestinal disorders, autoimmune disorders, allergies, pain syndromes, neurological disorders, post-surgical procedures, pre/post-natal edema, skin conditions, anxiety, and depression can benefit greatly from this work.
NOTE: We do NOT treat patients currently undergoing cancer treatment or people with active lymphedema, a chronic condition different than regular edema, or patients who are within 3 weeks post-surgery; however, we do have external partners to whom we can refer you.
