LYMPHEDEMA CARE

Lymphedema is an accumulation of protein rich fluid in the interstitial tissue of the skin caused by an insufficiency in the lymphatic system. This condition occurs when there is impairment in the normal lymphatic flow. It can be caused by deficiencies in the lymph vessels or nodes during fetal development (Primary Lymphedema) or trauma such as surgery and radiation as a result of cancer treatment. (Secondary Lymphedema).

THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE

Therapeutic Massage is used to address restrictions in the body, reduce pain, swelling, inflammation and help restore the body to normal functioning movement. It will also help promote relaxation. Multiple modalities may be used to achieve these benefits which include Spontaneous Muscle Release Technique, Muscle Release Technique, Connective Tissue massage, and Cranio-sacral Therapy. Find out what it can do for you.

BENEFITS OF MASSAGE

Experts estimate that upwards of ninety percent of disease is stress related. And perhaps nothing ages us faster, internally and externally, than high stress. While eliminating anxiety and pressure altogether in this fast-paced world may be idealistic, massage can, without a doubt, help manage stress.
