Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a treatment using gentle, skin stretch movements used to clear lymphatic fluid where it's getting stagnant so it can be reabsorbed into the body. The goal is to relieve swelling that happens when medical treatment or illness blocks your lymphatic system from functioning properly.
What is your lymphatic system? As a vital part of your immune system, your lymphatic system protects you from infection and destroys old or abnormal cells your body doesn’t need. Lymphatic system functions also include maintaining normal fluid levels in your body and absorbing fats and fat-soluble vitamins so they can make their way into your bloodstream. Your immune system is made up of lymph fluid, lymph nodes & vessels, bone marrow, thymus, spleen, tonsils, mucus membranes, and skin.
Who Can Benefit? Lymphedema (swelling in arms and legs, NOT caused by infection or acute inflammation), pre/post surgery, pre/post pardum, lipsuction recovery, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, lipedema, various autoimmune diseases, scar tissue recovery, sports injury recovery, restricted range of motion, hardening/thickening of the skin (fibrosis) *Contraindications - blood clots, cellulitis, radiation dermatitis, directly over cancerous tissue, acute inflammation, infection, organ failure

Cupping Therapy
Did you know we include cupping for FREE in every session?
Cupping involves gliding or keeping stationary, plastic or silicone suction cups on the skin. Using negative pressure, the cups promote blood flow, myofascial release, and cellular repair. The discoloration caused by this modality is completely normal and will last from a few days to two weeks.
