Lymphatic Massage
Manual lymphatic drainage technique is used to relieve painful, swelling areas caused by lymphedema including the face, arms, and ls. Our certified massage therapist uses a series of gliding, compressing, stretching, and cupping motions over the client’s body. The light rhythmic movements, applied without massage oil, stimulate the lymphatic system without compressing the vessels – allowing lymph to move easily through the tissues and lymph nodes. MLD follows a specific sequence over the body so lymph isn’t trapped anywhere, making sure every area is treated with care.
Recommended for cancer patients, post-operative breast augmentation/reduction, and post-CoolSculpting for optimal fat reduction.
Trigger Point Therapy
This deep tissue massage is a simple, non-invasive way to release tight spots and alleviate pain in overworked or injured muscle fibers. Our licensed physical therapist uses myofascial release techniques to target large muscle groups and loosen muscle knots. It works to release a trigger point by pushing fresh blood in and flushing waste material out as it brings more oxygen into the area. Overall, Trigger Point Therapy aids in releasing muscle tensions, while improving circulation and normal muscle movement.
Therapeutic Cupping
This Chinese deep-tissue massage is an ancient form of alternative medicine that helps with pain, inflammation, blood flow, relaxation, and well-being. The cupping method uses heat and suction on specific areas to increase blood circulation while reducing ischemic pain and swelling. This also aids in the release of harmful toxins in the body as it triggers the lymphatic system, clears the blood vessels, and stretches and activates the skin. Recommended for post-covid and hypoxic patients.
Swedish Massage

It involves long, fluid strokes of muscles and tissues with pressure that varies from light to medium to firm.

Our licensed physical therapist will adjust the pressure according to your sensitivity and preference.
