Lymphatic Drainage Therapy

Lymphatic Drainage massage is a wonderful way to help the body remove waste products, proteins, dead cells, bacteria, inorganic substances, viruses, water and fats. Our lymph system works to keep us healthy. If you are feeling sluggish, have minor aches and pains or are susceptible to colds and flu, it could be due to a slow moving lymphatic system. Lymphatic Drainage massage is a gentle massage that helps stimulate the lymph system to help remove these fluids from the body. Lymphatic Drainage massage is useful when working with clients who have sports injuries. It will help clear the tissue of debris, and help to reduce the minor edema that sometimes occurs after deep tissue massage. Lymph work has been shown to help the scarring process by enhancing circulation and immunity. Beyond its applications for injuries, it has been used for years to enhance the quality of the skin, especially the face. When the lymph is flowing, the cells are being bathed in fresh fluid, causing the skin to look fresh and alive.

Acupressure Therapy

 Acupressure is a traditional Chinese technique similar in principle to acupuncture, using finger pressure instead of needles.  It is based on the concept of life energy, known in China as Ch’i, which flows through the body.  This energy  has as many names as there is human civilizations but for simplicity we will use Ch’i to describe it.  When a person feels stressed, their body blocks Ch’i.  This can cause an imbalance in the body that can lead to illness.  Acupressure aims to keep Ch’i flowing through the body, keeping it balanced and disease free.   In treatment, physical pressure is applied to points along the acupressure meridians aiming to release discomfort, clear blockages and rebalance energy.
