Lymphatic Enhancement Therapy
We offer Lymphatic Enhancement Therapy on Saturdays and Sundays Contact us to make an appointment!
What to expect:
Treatments last an hour. Just like a massage, you'll be undressed to your comfort level (usually just underwear) and laying on a massage table covered with a sheet (and blanket if you tend to be cold). As we treat each area of the body that area is uncovered during treatment and then covered as we move to the next area.
You may be an excellent candidate for Lymphatic Enhancement Therapy if you’ve recently had a surgical procedure, or suffer from any of the following conditions:
Fibromyalgia – Those who suffer from this condition generally experience chronic muscle and joint pain. Lymphatic Enhancement Therapy has been shown to reduce stiffness and pain while improving sleep.
Rheumatoid arthritis – Tissue swelling and limited joint movement reduce lymph flow as RA progresses. Lymphatic Enhancement Therapy can ease these symptoms.
Lymphedema – Lymphedema is caused by decreased lymph flow, resulting in pain and swelling, usually in the feet, legs, arms, and hands. Lymphatic Enhancement Therapy helps relieve the pain and swelling.
Chronic venous deficiency – This condition causes the veins in your legs to be unable to function well enough to effectively return blood to your heart, which causes pain and swelling. Lymphatic Enhancement Therapy encourages movement, thereby reducing swelling.
The lymphatic system is a part of your immune and circulatory systems, delivering nutrients and removing waste at the cellular level. Lymph fluid acts as the delivery system, flowing through lymph vessels.
Although, your lymph system doesn’t have a pump like your circulatory system; it relies on your movement to run optimally. You can see where that can be a problem. Your lymph system can become stagnant with age, illness, or medical issues. The removal of waste and delivery of nutrients can be disrupted when we slow down, experience swelling, or our system is disrupted due to surgery.
When toxins and fluids can’t be removed from your soft tissue, then swelling, puffiness, pain, and illness can occur. Lymphatic Enhancement Therapy may help your body to remove these fluids and toxins through vibrational energy and microcurrent stimulation.
