Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) Massage:
This specialized massage technique is designed to stimulate the flow of lymphatic fluid in the body. This gentle, rhythmic massage targets the lymphatic system, which is responsible for removing waste and toxins from the body, as well as supporting the immune system. MLD massage can be beneficial for individuals experiencing lymphedema, swelling or bloating, or inflammation due to surgery, injury, pregnancy, or other medical conditions. It can also help improve circulation, reduce fluid retention, promote relaxation, and support overall detoxification and immune function.

Therapeutic Massage:
This type of medium to firm pressure massage therapy focuses on addressing specific musculoskeletal issues and is more tailored to an individual's needs. During the session, a combination of massage techniques such as deep tissue, myofascial release, structural organization, and dynamic cupping therapy are utilized to address specific areas of tension, pain, or dysfunction in the body. The goal is to alleviate symptoms, improve range of motion, reduce pain, and enhance overall function and well-being. Therapeutic massage sessions are often more focused on specific areas and may involve a more detailed assessment of the individual’s health history and a postural structural analysis of the body to tailor the treatment plan accordingly.
