Orthopedic Massage
Lymphatic Massage
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle massage technique used to increase the flow of lymph throughout the body. Benefits of MLD include an increase in lymph production, venous return and parasympathetic response. Communication between therapist and client should be expected during the session.
Therapeutic Massage
The most common form of massage that is typically found. Used to provide improved overall health and body relaxation. Swedish or therapeutic massage may help reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress, as well as helping manage back pain, headaches and other chronic pains.
Cupping Therapy
Myofascial decompression (cupping Therapy) is an ancient healing practice, involves placing suction cups on the skin to create Negative pressure. This negative pressure is believed to lift and separate the layers of fascia (connective tissue) and muscle, promoting increased blood flow, reducing muscle tension, and aiding in the release of knots or trigger points.
