Bodywork

Assisted Lymphatic Therapy is a gentle, light touch non-invasive technique to stimulate the proper flow and drainage of the lymphatic system. A combination of vibrational, light, and electical waves help to stimulate the flow by causing the dissociation of proteins that have become trapped in the interstitium. When trapped proteins (not to be confused with nutrient proteins) release their bond, the stagnate lymph is liberated and will flow out into its normal filtration and reabsorption channels.

Since lymphatic organs plays an important role in the body’s immune system, the proper flow of  lymphatic fluid can positively impact many conditions. These include:

• General Inflammation
• Lymphedema
• Edema and Water Retention
• Pre and Post Cosmetic Surgery
• Chronic Lymes
• Pre and Post Athletic Application – reduces muscle recovery and speeds recovery from soft tissue injuries
• General detox and cleansing
• Fibromyalgia

Note: this treatment is not suitable during pregnancy or while breast feeding, individuals with implanted medical devices, during active cancer treatment (without discussion and release from oncologist), during an acute phase of illness.
