Massage, Scars, & Breast work
Lymphatic drainage treatments are a gentle, noninvasive massage that encourages the lymph system to work more effectively. The Lymphatic system absorbs fat from the body, drains and removes toxic wastes , and balances the body's response to infection. Today's lifestyles do not allow for the levels of exercise that the lymph system requires to function at its full potential. Lymphatic massage provides the extra stimulus to compensate.
A more effective Lymph System helps eliminate toxins from the body, reduces water retention and cellulite, helps weight loss and boosts the immune system. The treatment helps reduce swollen joints , lessen painful chest and arm areas, reduces oedema (swelling) and increases overall health and vitality.
Scar work is an extremely disregarded issue. Those scars we carry, from surgeries of any kind, particularily abdominal, have far reaching consequences in our bodies. Often, scars are never considered the culprit in any painful condition because they happened too many years prior to the problem actually surfacing. As scars age, they often grow adhesions and these wrap around things they have no business wrapping around. Or, they stick or adhere to bone, compress nerves and muscles. They are uncannily clever and can wreak havoc with our bodies. If you are finding limited success with any given therapy, consider addressing those scars to gain some needed changes for yourself.
Chinese Therapeutic Massage is a type of bodywork aimed at relaxing major muscle groups, especially the larger ones, without causing undue pain. There is a lot of friction and counter motion employed, as well as rolling of muscles. At the risk of sounding contradictory, it is vigorous while relaxing. For those who feel that bodywork leaves them wondering if someone actually worked with their musculature, the buck stops here. Trying is believing.
Specialty Breast work Needs to be part of every woman's repertoire. The breast area is one of great lymphatic motion and is often ignored in conventional therapies. To ignore equals potential problems. If you suffer from fibrocystic breast tissue, painful or swollen breast tissue or wear underwires in bras, consider some preemptive work to forestall any cellular changes happening in a highly congested part of our bodies. The work emphasizes the breaking down of "stuck" or congested areas in the breast. It is done through a thick clothe to reduce the pressure and any possible discomfort. The result: feeling as though a huge weight was taken off your shoulders, ability to draw breath easier and deeper, feeling lighter, improved posture due to relaxation of key muscles that pull and contract us forwards, decreased pain and tenderness.
Aromatherapy is a natural lymphatic drain therapy with a gentle “hands-on” healing approach. For your treatment at the Centre , a fully trained Aromatherapist will create a custom blend of essential oils for your specific needs. A typical Aromatherapy treatment lasts for one hour. Upon completion, you will feel warm and relaxed. Derived from aromatic plants and trees, these oils are known for their therapeutic and balancing properties that will benefit both the mind and body. The oils will be applied using what is known as a lymphatic drainage massage, a gentle, noninvasive technique that encourages the lymph system to work more effectively.
