Therapies Offered
Lymphatic Drainage
Lymphatic Massage, properly called Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD), is the traditional method of moving lymph in order to drain swollen areas of the body and return the excess fluid to the circulatory system so it may be excreted from the body.
This therapy is available for anyone unable to use Electro-Lymphatic Therapy or who prefers a hands-on touch. Both options are effective.
Electro-Lymphatic Therapy (ELT) uses state-of-the-art tools to precisely target and unclog coagulated pockets of lymph located in the lymph nodes or in lymphatic pathways throughout the body.
ELT is a great way to get lymph moving when congestion is severe. ELT is painless and as relaxing as regular lymphatic massage. It is a great way to target deep organs and the skull for sinus drainage and headaches.
Fibrosis is perhaps the most dreaded outcome from plastic surgery – especially lipo.
No worries! I can help you – and it doesn’t hurt!
Lymphedema Therapists like myself are specifically trained in how to get rid of fibrosis since it is a complication of a damaged lymphatic system.
Contrary to popular belief, things like “wood therapy” and aggressive treatment are NOT needed! Gentle treatment with trained hands is all that is required.
Cupping Therapy is an ancient technique that helps rid the body of chemicals, loosen stiff muscles, and free up and soften stuck down, tough scar. While massage allows us to push and pull as therapists, cupping allows us to lift tissue. This mechanical advantage is profoundly effective.
Cupping is a relaxing therapy that leaves you feeling free and revitalized.
Therapeutic Massage
Oncology Massage is a type of massage that helps restore normal range of motion and reduce pain after surgery and radiation.
Oncology Massage makes modifications to ensure that the negative side effects of cancer treatments are reduced while not causing harm to tissues that may be delicate due to surgery and radiation.
Medical Massage is a special technique that adapts to various medical needs of clients including paralysis, medically implanted devices like ports and colostomy bags, and medical conditions such as congestive heart failure and ulcers.
Above all, the goal of medical massage is to provide relief while keeping the client safe.
Compression Therapy
Compression Bandaging is a therapy that I use both in-office during the session (which is removed before you leave) and as a therapy that you might choose to wear home if your swelling is more serious.
Compression Bandaging is one of the most effective ways to reduce swelling. It really helps drop swelling quickly for people whose condition changes rapidly. (Remember that to maintain results, you’ll need to keep up with your compression between sessions.)
Learn about Compression Stockings, Sleeves, and Other Compression Options
Compression stockings and sleeves help to keep swelling under control if you have a chronic condition such as lymphedema, lipedema, or chronic venous insufficiency.
I can help you find the right type of stockings, sleeve, or other compression option if those don’t work for you. There are more styles to choose from than you can imagine. Let me help you find something that you will be happy to wear instead of stick in your drawer.
