Deep Tissue Massage Therapy

Deep tissue massage uses firm pressure and slow strokes to massage deep layers of muscle and fascia (the connective tissue that surrounds your muscles).

Deep Tissue Massage helps with chronic muscle pain, injury rehabilitation, and reduces inflammation-related pain caused by arthritis and tendinitis.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage

It helps detoxify your body by promoting waste removal. If you experience sleep issues, fatigue, swollen lymph nodes, swelling in the legs (or anywhere else), you could benefit from MLD.

Trigger Point Therapy

Trigger Point Therapy releases or softens muscle knots by applying various levels of pressure and then stretching these painful, sensitive areas. It helps reduce (or eliminate) the knot and associated pain.

This type of treatment is tailored to enhance flow of blood and lymphatic fluid to promote recovery and healing following a surgery. It can also help reduce discomfort and scarring. By accelerating the healing process, patients will return to their daily routines quicker, feeling better than before. Make sure to get clearance from your doctor before making post-operative massage part of your recovery treatment.
