Lymphatic Breast Massage
Lymphatic Breast Massage is performed within specific, gentle massage techniques that are applied to the breast tissues in a systematic fashion to enhance both lymph and blood flow through and out of the breast tissue. This helps to improve the health of the breast tissue. Lymphatic Breast Massage can be used for lymph edema as well as
in conjunction with the treatment of breast cancer.

Myofascial Release

Pregnancy Massage
Massage Therapy will help to ease some of the stress and
discomfort by assisting the body during its transition and in the post-partum phase of pregnancy. After delivery, whether it is by Caesarian Section or vaginally, a woman’s body needs time to recuperate and again Massage Therapy can help the healing and recovery process.

Hot Stone Therapy
Hot Stone Therapy combines massage with the use of warm basalt stones coated in oil to enhance general relaxation. The heat from the stones increases the circulation in the tissues to help them heal and further relax. The treatment is extremely effective on decreasing hypertonicity (tightness) in the muscles.

Swedish Massage
Swedish Massage uses five techniques to achieve all the benefits of Massage Therapy. The five basic techniques are Stroking, Effleurage (light, long, flowing strokes),
Petrissage (kneading), Tapotement (rhythmic tapping) and
Vibrations. Swedish Massage has shown to be helpful in reducing pain, joint stiffness, and improving function in patients with various musculoskeletal dysfunctions. In addition, aromatherapy can be added to this treatment to
enhance the effects of the massage with the use of different essential oils.

Trigger Point Therapy
Trigger points are hyperirritable spots, usually within the muscle or its fascia (a thin layer of tissue that surrounds the muscle). The location on the body may be tender to the touch and may exhibit a predictable pain referral pattern that can cause tightness in the affected muscle area as well as a completely different area of the body. Specific manual pressure is applied to these points in the
form of Trigger Point Therapy to reduce pain and discomfort.
