Lymphatic Drainage

Lymphatic drainage is a very gentle technique.  It is used to increase lymph flow and encourage the natural drainage of toxins, bodily waste, and inflammation from the lymph system. It is beneficial for those who have recently gone through a surgery, dealt with any autoimmune or inflammatory disorders, have swollen lymph nodes (commonly under the arms, throat, and groin) and scar appearance reduction, and lymphedema around the joints (ankles, knees, wrists).

To truly feel the effects of lymphatic drainage, schedule a lymphatic drainage and let me help you feel better and more relaxed.

Lymphatic drainage can help in the:

• Reduction in edema (swelling)
• Detoxification of the body
• Relief of chronic pain
• Reduction in the symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia
• Regeneration of tissues

Myofascial Release

Fascia is connective tissue that surrounds every part of our body. Literally translated, “myofascial” means muscle connective tissue. Trauma, posture or injuries of any kind can cause pulls to develop in the fascia. These pulls are so strong they create changes in posture which can cause disc problems or unexplainable pain. The fascia also functions like saran wrap. It can wrap around and compress nerves causing neurological symptoms leading to nerve pain, radiating, burning pain or reduced range of motion.

With myofascial release, I can help you work through your pain and stop it from hindering your life. This is a great therapy that can help you gain flexibility and regain feeling in parts of your body.

Myofascial release benefits those who have:

• Back, neck or pelvic pain
• Chronic Pain
• Headaches and migraines
• Carpal tunnel
• Whiplash
• Sports injuries
• Disc problems
• Pelvic floor or neurological dysfunction
• Fibromyalgia

Craniosacral Therapy

The central nervous system is heavily influenced by the craniosacral system, consisting of the brain and the spinal column. The fluid that surrounds, protects and nourishes the brain and the spinal column is called cerebral spinal fluid. Daily movements cause the body’s muscle tissue to tighten potentially causing the restrictions around your brain and spinal column, hence prohibiting the flow the cerebral spinal fluid.

Craniosacral therapy aims to release tension in the soft tissues that surround the central nervous system to relieve pain, dysfunction and improve the body’s performance. It uses a soft touch, which is generally no greater than 5 grams of pressure (about the weight of a nickel).

Benefits of Craniosacral Therapy

Craniosacral therapy uses a light touch to feel for these restrictions along with gentle movements for the purpose of releasing restrictions and promoting cerebrospinal fluid to flow and nourish the brain and spinal column. Ultimately, this therapy encourages the body to self-correct or align itself naturally.

• Migraines and headaches
• Chronic neck and back pain
• Stress and tension-related disorders
• Motor-coordination Impairments
• Infant and childhood disorders
