Lymphatic Vacuum Therapy

Certain health conditions (such as recent surgery, diabetes, cancer treatments that involve removal of the lymph nodes, infection, and trauma) can cause fluid to back up in the body. This specialized medical massage has a very light touch that encourages the natural drainage of the lymph fluid, which carries waste products away from the tissues back toward the heart so that it can be released from the body. This massage decongests the lymphatic pathways as it enhances the immune system as it removes bacteria, viruses, cancer cells and dead cells from the body, improves nutrition to the tissues, and increases tissue metabolism. 

Vacuum therapy is a safe, highly effective and non invasive treatment to open and drain the lymphatic system. Using an electric suction device that moves the adipose tissue and lymph fluid towards the lymphatic system, the vacuum technique produces a “separation” in tissue layers enabling water absorption and renewed blood flow to dehydrated undernourished tissue.


Vacuum therapy can help to:
•    eliminate fat
•    drain excess fluids and toxins
•    loosen connective tissue adhesions
•    increase oxygen & blood flow to muscles and skin
•    provides elasticity to the skin
•    relaxes the muscles

•    Inflammation
•    Unexplained Weight Gain
•    Cellulite
•    Swelling

Prenatal Massage

Prenatal massage is customized to the needs of the pregnant woman and her changing body so massage techniques are adjusted accordingly.

 

Carrying a baby changes your center of gravity. It puts a lot of stress on your back, neck, abdominal muscles, and shoulders. Pregnancy also relaxes your ligaments and connective tissues creating instability in the pelvic joints. As your posture changes, the pelvis is pulled forward and the extra weight being carried can create an aching back.

 

Prenatal massage not only can help with back and joint pain, it improves circulation, reduces edema, headaches, stress, anxiety and insomnia.

Oncology massage is a client-specific, compassionate, specialized massage to help people manage their experience with cancer.

 

The effects of radiation, chemotherapy, & surgery puts an incredible amount of stress on the body & mind. This non-evasive nurturing, individualized massage helps comfort and support those who are coping with the physical and emotional effects that cancer imposes upon them.

 

Massage for cancer patients was once believed to be a contraindication, under the misconception that the cancer would be spread. Oncology Massage can be an excellent way to relax, relieve anxiety, combat nausea & help control pain. In fact, many doctors recommend massage as a form of complementary medicine.

Hot Stone Massage

A hot stone massage is a type of massage therapy that utilizes stones to promote a deep relaxation & eases muscular tension. Smooth, flat, stones made of basalt (a type of volcanic rock, high in iron, that retains heat) are heated to a temperature between 130 & 145 degrees.

 

Traditional hands-on techniques of massage are applied using the hot stones as an added tool to allow a deeper massage that quickly warms the muscles and gets the blood flowing.

 

Throughout the massage, hot stones may also be placed along your spine, in the palms of your hand, on your belly, or even between your toes to improve the flow of energy in your body.

 

If you experience chronic stress, anxiety, muscle tension, stiff joints or insomnia, you may benefit from a hot stone massage.
