Lymph Drainage Therapy

What is it? Why we need it…

The Lymphatic System has been the neglected “waste disposal system” of human health, says Dr. Mehmet Oz. As with nutrition; it is covered only briefly in medical schools. However, with the growing knowledge and value of our Lymphatic System we are becoming aware of its importance for optimal health. LDT is regarded as ‘standard practice’ in Europe and Canada while gaining greater recognition in the States.

Manual Lymph Drainage (pronounced drain-ahge, like massage) Therapy, is a unique hands-on method developed and taught by the French Physician and research scientist Bruno Chikly, M.D., D.O.

Our Lymphatic System (LS) is a separate circulatory system, running parallel to our blood circulatory system. It’s the critical key component for the body’s ability to maintain proper fluid balance, detoxify, help regenerate tissue, filter out foreign substances and maintain a healthy immune system. When the LS is not moving as well as it should; excess fluid, proteins (cellular proteins, not the type found in foods), metabolic waste and toxins accumulate. Then, the body’s ability to maintain a healthy state is compromised. This build up of waste in the system, then leads to physical ailments (swelling, discomfort, stagnant body fluids, progressive vein and organ problems) expediting our aging process.

Treatments involve extremely gentle hands-on maneuvers; to assist, encourage and aid the flow of your LS. Manual Lymph Drainage Therapy can be applied to the whole body or an isolated area, as with scaring, bruising or edema (swelling).

For the face; when the LS is not functioning well, we may experience darkening ‘circles’ or puffiness around the eyes, deeper lines and wrinkles, lack of skin tone, uneven skin texture, acne, sinus congestion, ear aches and ringing, head aches, migraines, etc.. Whole body treatments work with both the front and back of the body, helping to alleviate pain/swelling, stimulating our whole body’s system at deep & superficial levels.

This profound technique of therapy helps with autoimmune conditions such as fibromyalgia, with insomnia, high blood pressure, insulin issues and is beneficial in improving pain management. Lymph Drainage treatment is extremely helpful before and after any surgery. It stimulates and prepares the body before it is surgically altered; promoting faster healing, healthy tissue and minimal scaring. The LS assists our body’s own healing, helping provide a more comfortable and minimal recovery time.

Manual Lymph Drainage Therapy has many advantages as it helps balance our physical and mental health by encouraging detoxification of the body. This gentle technique it is ideal for everyone. While it calms the system, it stimulates our brain function & focus. It’s used for stress management, for detoxifying the body, especially during weight loss and supports the balancing of our hormones. While it helps minimize fluid retention and swelling, it is highly effective in aiding in the maintenance and drainage of those with the swelling associated with Lymphedema (with or without bandaging) and the many uncomfortable symptoms.

Your optimal health, overall wellness and beauty stems from inside out.  Isn’t it time to experience the rewards of Manual Lymph Drainage Therapy?

Oriental Foot Reflexology

What is Oriental Foot Reflexology? This therapy is a combination of Oriental Shiatsu Massage techniques; working with the body’s meridian channels of energy; along with traditional foot Reflexology. Reflexology is a science; which deals with the principle that there are reflex areas in the hands and feet that correspond to all the glands, organs and areas of the body. By stimulating these reflexes properly, we can help many health ailments and problems in a natural way, without drugs.

Reflexology improves nerve and blood supply, naturally encouraging circulation, promotes healing and reduces pain and discomfort while offering you a chance to relax. Doctors agree that over 85% of our health problems can be linked to nervous stress and tension. Many people enjoy this incredible, relaxing therapy…”it feels wonderful”.

The Benefits…While you are relaxing on a massage table, I will apply pressure to many different areas of your feet. Each foot has 26 bones, over 7,000 nerve endings, along with 19 muscles and over 100 ligaments! The touch will stimulate organs, glands and the many systems of your body; to help promote a natural, non-invasive healing process.

To schedule your sessions, contact Linda directly at 520.400.6763.

CranioSacral Therapy

I welcome you…to experience the incredible possibilities of better health and harmony

What is CranioSacral Therapy?

Developed by Osteopathic Physician, Dr. John E. Upledger of the Upledger Institute in Florida.

• Like the rhythms of our heartbeat and breath; it is based on another rhythm, the CranioSacral rhythm. This rhythm results from the movement of the cerebrospinal fluid as it flows around the brain and through the spinal cord; up and down our spine, from head (cranium), to the base of our spine (sacrum).
• An effective and powerful type of bodywork designed to direct and treat our physical as well as emotional restrictions.
• A soothing therapeutic process that will stimulate your body’s natural healing and help restore its own inherent harmony and balance.

How is the treatment done?
Treatment is given in a safe professional environment. Sessions are usually about an hour in length. Wear comfortable clothing; you will be asked to lie on a treatment table fully clothed. I will monitor your CranioSacral rhythm and then proceed with a light touch, hands-on treatment of adjustments to your body.

Why does CranioSacral Therapy (CST) work?
Understanding this unique rhythm allows the experienced practitioner to monitor its flow and make an assessment for your treatment. Specific therapeutic techniques are then incorporated to assist the hydraulic forces present within the CranioSacral system. By aiding in the balance of your body’s circulatory system, its organs, and relaxing the mind, CST naturally improves your own capacity to heal. The benefits are overall heath and resistance to ”dis-ease”.
