Experts estimate that upwards of ninety percent of disease is stress-related. And perhaps nothing ages us faster, internally and externally, than high stress. Craniosacral/Massage is an effective tool for managing this stress, which translates into:

• Decreased anxiety.
• Enhanced sleep quality.
• Greater energy.
• Improved concentration.
• Increased circulation.
• Reduced fatigue.

Massage can also help specifically address a number of health issues. Bodywork can:

• Alleviate low-back pain and improve range of motion.
• Assist with shorter, easier labor for expectant mothers and shorten maternity hospital stays.
• Ease medication dependence.
• Enhance immunity by stimulating lymph flow—the body's natural defense system.
• Exercise and stretch weak, tight, or atrophied muscles.
• Help athletes of any level prepare for, and recover from, strenuous workouts.
• Improve the condition of the body's largest organ—the skin.
• Increase joint flexibility.
• Lessen depression and anxiety.
• Promote tissue regeneration, reducing scar tissue and stretch marks.
• Pump oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs, improving circulation.
• Reduce postsurgery adhesions and swelling.
• Reduce spasms and cramping.
• Relax and soften injured, tired, and overused muscles.
• Release endorphins—amino acids that work as the body's natural painkiller.
• Relieve migraine pain.

Lymphedema Management

What is Lyphedema?

Lymphedema is a condition in which the lyphatic system has been damaged or is not functioning properly and results in accumulation of protein rich fluid that leads to trunk, limb or head swelling.  This swelling can lead to pain, infection, and even hospitalization.

Lymphedema Treatment/Manual Lymph Drainage

Lyphedema Management is a comprehensive program that includes manual lymph drainage, compression garments/wraps, meticulous skin care and therapeutic exercise.  I currently provide Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD) to promote decongestion of the trunk and limbs, and can work closely with your current Lymphedema Therapist to help manage lymphedema.
