massage
Massage therapy is the holistic application of physical touch to affect the systems of the body, benefiting the muscular, skeletal, digestive, elimination, respiratory, circulatory, lymphatic, endocrine, and nervous systems. Massage therapists work on your muscles and other soft tissue to help you achieve optimal function of your physical body so that you feel more limber, comfortable and relaxed.
warm oil scalp massage
The head carries a great deal of the stress, and a warm oil scalp massage is a beautiful and soothing way to let go and truly relax. You will feel the benefits of a scalp massage through the head, into the jaw, neck, and shoulder muscles, while also stimulating hair follicles and relieving headaches and tension.
cranial sacral
Cranial Sacral Therapy (CST) is a treatment that uses gentle contact to assist with underlying issues such as an overstressed nervous system, fascial problems, headaches, TMJ problems, regional pain syndromes, and other concerns. CST uses a light touch to examine membranes and movement of fluids in and around the central nervous system and works to boost inherent self-regulation, self-correction and self-healing. The therapy can be used successfully with children and adults.
manual lymphatic drainage
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a relaxing, non-invasive treatment for the accumulation of fluid under the skin (swelling). It can be performed on any part of the body but is most commonly performed on the arms, legs, abdomen and face. It aims to push lymph fluid back towards the heart using a series of gentle and rhythmic manual techniques.
Along with being beneficial for overall wellness, MLD is used primarily to treat lymphedema, a type of chronic swelling caused by damage to the lymphatic system. In cases of lymphedema, the treatment is combined with compression therapy, exercise, and self-care techniques.
MLD is also effective in treating swelling associated with acute injuries and plastic surgery procedures such as liposuction or facelift. It is a safe and enjoyable treatment for most people, however it is important to keep your therapist up to date on your health history to ensure lymphatic drainage is right for you.
